Vehicle Description
We call this 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass a 442 tribute, but really it's
much more. With a 454 big block, full custom A/C interior, and that
bold body with expensive 26-inch wheels, this is the most
impressive Olds you can gets your hand on right now.
You know from the moment you lay eye on this coupe that it's no
ordinary Cutlass. The dual scoops in the hood give it a 442 level
of aggressive appearance, but that's not even the first thing that
grabbed your attention. This is a full custom creation, from the
red fabric roof, to the 26-inch Forgiato Drea three-piece custom
wheel and tire package (estimated at $8,000 alone!) But really
there is no better classic American car out there to get the custom
treatment than the third-generation Cutlass hardtop. With the
fastback profile and chrome bumpers that were integrated into the
design so well, this is arguably the best design to come from
Detroit. Add in a professional application of high gloss red, and
this Olds can't help but draw a crowd. Please note that the
original rocker trim and wheel opening moldings do come with the
sale, but the current setup is definitely distinctive with the
acres of shiny red. The appearance could pass for the new culture
of "donk" classics, but as we dig deeper, the overall execution
tells you this is very thoughtful build and much more.
You understand the full investment into this custom the moment you
open the door and see an interior that will make some modern luxury
cars jealous. The tan leather seats have been borrowed from a much
more modern machine. They've been custom adapted to look like they
belonged in this upgraded Olds from day one. There's even custom
red stitching to match the bold exterior color. There are plenty of
comfort features like the custom center console, power windows, and
ice-cold air conditioning. Plus, you have a Pioneer AM/FM/XM/DVD
head unit with satellite navigation and Bluetooth connect-ability.
The driver gets a three-spoke steering wheel, and beyond that are a
full set of classic style Auto Meter gauges. There's B&M
ratchet shifter in the center console. But as much as those
features tell you about this car's performance, the aggressive
feature you'll enjoy the most is the devilish red glow of the
interior at night.
Sure the air grabbed has the proper Olds 442 markings, but we bet
you won't be disappointed to find out that underneath is a
performance-built 454 Chevy big block. Not only does the big V8
fill the engine bay, but also it's been enhanced with a GM LS7
head/roller rocker hi-performance 6272990, performance intake,
Holley four-barrel carburetor, and long tube headers that feed a
thundering Flowmaster dual exhaust. This is mated to a stout TH350
three-speed automatic that feeds a 10-bolt rear end. More than just
a pure power package, you get comfortable features like power
steering and Wilwood six-piston front disc brakes with drilled and
slotted rotors. And to make sure the Olds can handle its extra
height with skill, there are thick sway bars front and rear, as
well as QA1 coilovers on all four corners.
You know it would cost you far more to build this custom Olds, and
while that takes time, this deal is ready to hit the streets today.
That kind of appeal moves fast around here, so hurry up and call
today!
