For sale in our Chicago showroom is a shimmering 1979 Oldsmobile
Cutlass Supreme Brougham. In the car world the term "sleeper" is
used to describe a car that is unassuming in appearance but packs
plenty of punch under the hood and that could not describe this
classic Oldsmobile better. To start off this car is an original
"survivor" having only been driven under 41,000 miles since new,
and it shows very well. To start with the interior is in amazing
condition and the soft velour seats feel like you are sitting in
your living room. The door panels, dash pad, steering wheel and
carpeting are all preserved originals and in remarkable condition.
From the exterior you will notice that this car looks like a
grocery getter but once you fire up the ignition this car begins to
tell a different story. Underneath that cowl-induction hood is a
1970 Oldsmobile 350 that was rebuilt less than 1,000 miles ago and
sounds fantastic. This engine was factory rated at 310 Horsepower
and features #6 heads, fresh Edelbrock cam and Mallory ignition
system. Fire is delivered via a MSD ignition with 8 mm wires and
fuel is delivered with a new Edelbrock 650 CFM carb with an
electric choke. This car sounds amazing thanks in part to the
headers going back to a 3" mandrel bent welded stainless steel
exhaust system. Driving is a breeze in this classic cruiser and the
700R4 transmission shifts on point and gets this car up to speed
without hesitation and leads back to the 3:73 open gear rear end.
New parts on this car include paint finished in the original PPG
shade of gold with a little surprise of metal flake that makes this
car shimmer in any light. Also all of the weather seals have been
replaced along with belts and hoses and the new carburetor. If you
are looking for a vintage cruiser with all of the hard work already
done now would be your chance. Located in our Chicago showroom,
this 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham can be seen including
