1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass in Youngville, North Carolina

Impossible not to crack a smile when you gaze upon this beautiful Sunfire Yellow 442 convertible! This 1972 Oldsmobile 442 convertible was purchased March 31st, 1972 at Sutton Oldsmobile in Sacramento, California by a Miss Teresa A. Powell. Miss Powell owned this car 31 plus years and it remained in California that entire time. In the summer of 2016, Thornton muscle cars in Quakertown, Pennsylvania did a full restoration on this vehicle. The engine and transmission were completely disassembled and rebuilt. The body was taken to bare metal and professionally refinished in the factory-correct color of "56A" Sunfire yellow. The "977" white interior was fully restored as well (with some of the original panels being retained and re-dried). This example was a 41,850 actual-mile example with a numbers-matching drivetrain when it was chosen for the restoration. The vehicle is equipped with a Oldsmobile Rocket 350 V8, automatic transmission, factory air conditioning, push-button AM radio, custom-sport steering wheel, tilt steering column, power steering, power brakes, power convertible top, clock, W29 442 appearance and handling package (featuring the FE2 rally suspension, special striping, grilles and emblems, etc.) and, this example has bucket seats with a console. Prior to this current restoration, a previous owner won AACA Senior Gold in 2007 with this vehicle, confirming that this has always been a fantastic automobile.

Included with the sale are restoration photographs along with an article in Muscle Machines magazine, original build sheet, original Protect-O-Plate, original warranty card, original Oldsmobile factory letter to Miss Powell along with several of her original registrations. See attached photograph.
