For Sale: 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass in Ft Worth, Texas

Vehicle Description

Perhaps it's because there are no more Oldsmobiles being built, but the list of future collectables will surely include cars like this two-owner (but same family) 1986 Cutlass Supreme coupe. From new, these cars have enjoyed a cult following, perhaps due to their classic yet sporty styling, large dose of luxury, and effortless road manners.

As is the case with many old cars, people didn't treat these like anything special when they were new, and as a result, finding a clean one like this Olds can be a challenge. Fortunately, it hails from a warm, dry climate and shows off its top drive-quality condition with shiny Blue Metallic paint that's been impeccably preserved throughout the years under the care of one family since new. The paint is original and consistent throughout the car, and those wide, heavy doors open and close as easily today as they did 35 years ago. The angular styling has aged quite well, and with the 1985 updates such as the fine-mesh grilles and chrome headlight bezels, it enjoys a semi-performance look that was a hallmark of Oldsmobile in its glory days. The chrome bumpers still look fantastic, showing no evidence that this car was "parked by feel" by an elderly owner, and all the bright stainless trim shines up very nicely against the dark finish. And we have to admit that we absolutely love the lack of a padded roof, which makes it look more contemporary and a lot less geriatric.

Inside, it's pure Oldsmobile luxury thanks to those super-comfortable high-back bucket seats split by a center console up front, allowing for lots of legroom inside the 2-door coupe's cabin. With standard blue GM mouse fur upholstery, it remains in great condition with no major rips or tears and very few signs of UV damage, which is why blue is such a great choice. In fact, the back seat looks virtually new and the carpets and door panels have been carefully preserved by the conscientious owners. Wood accents warm up the all-blue interior, and a familiar-looking steering wheel combines with a ton of power accessories to offer a luxurious experience. Factory A/C that blows hard and cold, a tilt wheel, and cruise control are included, while a modern JVC AM/FM/CD head unit is now pulling duty in the center stack. The stock Oldsmobile instrument panel includes all the gauges and 'idiot' lights, along with that period-perfect wide speedometer, and the 25,355 miles shown are in fact 125,355 actual miles after one rollover according to the family that's had the car since new. One of the hallmarks of a full-sized luxury car is a roomy backseat area and loads of trunk space, and the cargo bay on this one is plenty spacious and shows off the car's solid sheetmetal.

Power comes from the corporate 3.8 liter V6, which is both unobtrusive and effective in its role aboard the Cutlass. Smooth and torquey, it gives the car great road manners, and thanks to years of development, cruises in virtual silence at any speed. The engine bay is all-stock and very clean, more evidence of a good life with caring owners, and it has not been modified save for a dual exhaust system with Magnaflow mufflers that give it a great voice. The A/C still was upgraded to R134a refrigerant for maximum effectiveness, and all the factory equipment, including the snorkeled air cleaner, is fully intact, which is always a good sign. The chassis and floors are clean, with no signs of life in the rust belt and the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission delivers surprising fuel economy on the open road. Bright chrome Rally wheels with center spinners add to its sporty countenance, especially with 15-inch BFGoodrich white-letter radials on board.

Inexpensive fun today and a smart investment for tomorrow, these Oldsmobiles will always find a ready group of buyers. If you're one of them, give us a call today!
