Vehicle Description 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Asking Price $39,500
Located in Tucson, Arizona with title in owner’s name. Text James at 520-409-7114,
The engine was built at very close to the specs of a Car Craft magazine 455 build. That engine makes 469 horsepower and 565 torque with a smaller XE274H cam. This engine, with the same Edelbrock aluminum heads but next level XE284H cam, is estimated at 480 horse with 550 torque. One hell of a motor with more raw horsepower than Oldsmobile (or anyone else) produced from the factory back in 1971!

Very street-able engine provides best of both worlds.. purrs at cruising speeds and makes BIG power (at higher RPM) when you put your foot into it!
There is literally nothing under the hood that wasn't upgraded, including Desert Cooler radiator, high-performance starter and aluminum pulley set.
Aligned with the new engine, the transmission also received a high-performance upgrade replacement with an Art Carr 200-4R Extreme Duty 4-Speed (Overdrive) Automatic w/ 10" Heavy-Duty Super Torque Converter.
The original 10 bolt non-posi rear was upgraded to a 12 Bolt unit completely rebuilt w/ Eaton Posi and 3.55 Ratio Gears.
Exhaust now flows rather awesomely through ceramic coated Hooker Super Competition 1 7/8" Headers into a complete stainless steel MagnaFlow Performance 3" Dual w/ Tru-X Pipe.
Absolutely gorgeous “Maui Blue”.
The interior received a new OE carpet but otherwise the dash, door panels, rear seat and headliner are original and are in excellent condition. The factory bench front seat is upgraded to Pro-Car Custom Bucket Seats.
The non-tach factory gauges have been upgraded to a show quality
Rally Pack & Tach setup as was factory equipped on 1970-72 Cutlass/442 with Rally Pack option.
Newly installed aftermarket vintage air conditioning. Front end completely rebuilt. New tires. Tinted windows. New shocks. New Horseshoe shifter with center console.
Along with new wheel cylinders and brake lines, the suspension was upgraded with stainless steel front disc brake conversion, w/ heavy duty 1-1/4" front sway bar (bigger than a 442), heavy duty boxed rear control arms w/ 1" rear sway bar.
The front Cutlass grille was replaced with a new '71 442 grille and matching black headlight surrounds that looks great with the black racing stripes. Has Oldsmobile original style rubber floor mats and full-size trunk mat.
Total investment in upgrades alone exceeds $30K (before labor expense). Have folder with history of vehicle upgrades. Actual mileage on vehicle is just over 69K but the drivetrain (along with all upgrades and Cragar SS wheel).runs/drives superbly.
This one-of-a-kind Cutlass custom is well worth thousands more and will only appreciate in value!
