Vehicle Description
This extra sharp 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass Coupe, now available from
the MAXmotive Pittsburgh Showroom, brings a little extra sauce to
the mix. It's refinished in its original Saffron Yellow exterior
paint, with a black vinyl interior and black vinyl top. But under
the hood, the 400ci V8 has been fortified with Edelbrock aluminum
heads, Edelbrock intake, and an Edelbrock 750cfm carb. On top is a
chrome air cleaner with a K&N filter element. The rotating
assembly was balanced, Ross pistons installed, and the crankshaft
polished. The tune up provides excellent driveability and a brawny
but not brash exhaust tone with great response. It also includes a
COMP hydraulic cam, MSD distributor, and coated full-length
headers. The Turbo 400 automatic was treated to a complete rebuild
with a heavy-duty converter. Oldsmobile muscle cars have a special
"Gentleman's Hot Rod" character that was carefully preserved in
this fine example, while upgrades are found throughout the car. A
new 442 center console and floor shifter adds an upscale feel, as
does the Spider Performance thick-rim 3-spoke steering wheel. A GM
Sports 442 tach is installed factory-style in the dash. Similarly,
a Custom Autosound AM/FM//MP3 unit replaces the stock radio.
Originally equipped with power steering and power brakes, the front
end was upgraded with disc brakes. The wheels, though stock
appearing, are 15x7 units from Summit. A thick binder contains
dozens of parts and service receipts, plus a handy summary listing
the upgrades to the car and costs. The original 1968 Oldsmobile
owner's manual is nicely preserved, and a copy of the 1968
Cutlass/442 Assembly Manual is included as well. There's a little
more power, the chrome is a little shinier, the tires are a little
wider, the interior is a little more luxurious. This 1968 Cutlass
Coupe has all the beauty and refinement befitting an Oldsmobile,
with carefully selected upgrades to make this a true muscle
machine. See detailed photos at www.maxmotive.com. **********
