Vehicle Description
You might just be looking at one of the coolest and easiest ways to
get attention at the survivor shows. This 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass
is the kind of car we don't see too often anymore because they are
usually tuned into 442 replicas. But instead, this is a
well-documented car with a premium sense of style from its
attractive paint, detailed interior, cold-blowing A/C, and
exceptionally low mileage.
The factory-correct Burgundy Mist paint sets the tone well for the
whole car. It shows all the right signs of being the factory
application, and while some people are thinking about retirement
after 55, this finish is just getting started. After all, this is
on an actual miles title, and that would mean averaging under 700
miles annually. So that means less time on the road and more
garage-kept care. In fact, this is a long-term one-family owned
vehicle, and so much of the originality that we're told about is
known from just going from uncle to niece. You'll see the right
touches of age in the finish and badges so that people know you
have a survivor. And the way the bumpers fit, the stainless trim
shines, and the body lines look crisp, there are going to be plenty
of people who wished they could get their car restored to the level
that this one has been preserved. A hardtop like this had the kind
of sporty style that launched the 442. So we understand why this
highly original car would be upgraded with Torq Thrust wheels and
dual exhaust tips. It gives it the touch of an era-correct muscle
car style without harming the heart of this car's authenticity.
The black interior looks great against the burgundy exterior. Just
like the exterior, we're hard-pressed to find any fundamentals that
don't appear original. And the low mileage and good preservation
make for an impressive presentation. This one is for lovers of
vintage authenticity with the working AM radio, classic rubber
mats, and full lighting package that greets you when the door
opens. Even the trunk looks terrific with a jack and spare tire
that look like they never left the factory mountings. But this car
is no museum piece. It deserves to be out in the world and cruising
on special days. That's why you'll love the driver-oriented setup
with front bucket seats, a center console in-between, and a
dual-spoke steering wheel that gives you a clear view of the full
gauges. And because it's so nice to take down all the side glass on
a hardtop - even in the summertime - it's great to have the
classic-style aftermarket air conditioning unit still blowing cold
air.
Under the hood is the 330 cubic-inch Rocket V8. It shows all signs
of being original, and after all, who would have messed with a car
that's already so authentic? There's plenty of overall originality,
right down to the washer fluid refill bottle mounted to the fender.
But you can also see that details like the valve covers and air
grabber have been repainted to present well for showing. And items
like the hoses and wires show this has been properly maintained for
being a good cruiser. In fact, this V8 fires up eagerly and idles
smoothly because it knows you want to hit the road. Add in the
automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes, and
you're ready to take this to the survivor show this weekend.
The sale comes complete with good documentation like the original
bill of sale, original warranty card, owner's manual, reproduction
buildsheet, reproduction window sticker, maintenance records, and
title documentation. There's a true sense of authenticity on this
Olds, right down to the dealer tag on the trunk. So the next owner
isn't just a titleholder, they are truly writing the next chapter
in this survivor's history. Are you ready to be a part of this
story? Call today!
