"Run of the mill cars got you feeling grounded? Spread your wings
and soar in a Cutlass S. Want to really send the ordinary into a
tailspin? Order yours with bucket seats, center console, G.T.
stripes! Price? Right down your runway. Every Cutlass sports an
easy to take low price. Escape from the ordinary!" From the 1969
Oldsmobile sale brochure.
For consignment, a 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S club coupe with a
title verified 63,688 actual miles. The body was restored between
2013 and 2016, and the engine, transmission, rear, and suspension
have all received a bit of massaging.
Exterior
The deep dark Cordovan Brown Metallic paint that flows over the
smooth panels is sharply contrasted by trim that's found at the
base of the C-pillar, at the wheel openings, and surrounding the
cabin. Chrome bumpers hug body lines and the rear unit also
contours to make room for the tail lights with a split at the
reverse lights, all at the end of a smooth decklid and sloping rear
window. Up front, the quad headlights are enhanced with yellow
lenses on the brights while 15-inch Summit Racing Drag Thrust
wheels carry staggered size tires for a muscular, slightly raked
stance. This is one clean A-body with very few flaws; the only
imperfections we find is some light pitting, a scuff, and a bubble
in the plating on the bumpers.
Interior
A Gold interior begins on the door panels with vertical tuck and
roll over a smooth lower delineated by polished trim, each door
containing two window cranks that include the vent window and both
panels presenting cleanly. The vinyl split bench shows a touch of
age, especially on the driver's side where there's a seam tear in
the headrest and some general discoloration while the rear bench
remains practically pristine, each with a ghost like diamond
pattern throughout. A GT Grant steering wheel brings things into
the 21st century but not for long as the rest of the dash looks
factory original and clean, based in varying shades of gold
plastics and holding a mock radio rather than an open panel for
radio delete. A triple gauge pod has been added and the open floor
is covered in black carpet with gold rubber mats and the palette
continues on the headliner which holds the shoulder belts and
suffers from a tear.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is a super clean 455ci V8 with ported heads, bored
.030 over, Wiseco 10.5:1 pistons, Comp Cams hydraulic cam, put
together on a fully balanced rotating assembly. Behind it, a TH400
3-speed automatic transmission is sending power to the 12 bolt rear
axle with 3.08 gears and Positraction. The car has headers, power
steering and power brakes that include a new master cylinder,
booster, and brake lines.
Undercarriage
Clean on the underside as well where more performance mods are
found. The dual exhaust finds an X-pipe that flows through Black
Widow Venom mufflers just before emitting short, downfacing exhaust
tips under the car. Suspension includes QA1 24 way adjustable
shocks with coil springs in front and QA1 18 way adjustables in the
rear along with a 4 link. Power disc brakes occupy the front while
power drums are in the back.
Drive-Ability
We'd be satisfied just sitting here letting the car idle, it sounds
so good! Let's see what else it can do. This well sorted Cutlass
performs well on the test loop, tracking straight and providing
good power and the smaller than stock steering wheel comes in handy
during turns. We note the horn and heater blower are not working
but all other functions on this well sorted Club Coupe operate as
they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these
functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot
guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your
purchase.
A smooth body, great paint, clean interior and mechanically sound,
this shining example from 1969 is better than new in some ways!
There were twelve trim levels to the Cutlass in 1969 with the
pillared version designed as the Club Coupe and offered an
affordable entry point into the lineup. This one's been tastefully
built into a clean, street bruiser.
