1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass S

Description

The 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass S was one of the best hardtop designs of the era. So it's nice to find a complete coupe with numbers-matching V8 power and an A/C interior that also keeps the price that puts it within easy reach.

This is one of the most iconic designs Oldsmobile ever put on the road. It has all the best elements, like a pillarless hardtop profile, flared fenders, and a fast-back style rear. This one really does have all the best elements already in place, like the form-hugging bumpers and classic color-matched Super Stock III wheels. This example showcases all these with a bold red paint. The finish is not perfect, and there is room for improvement in some details. But what's really attractive is this is the kind of car that you can enjoy today, and the value price leaves room in the budget for you to put your personal touch on it whenever you want.

The pearl white interior has a great classic style. You even get nice details, like the button-top finish on the upholstery. And high-traffic areas like the carpeting and armrest center console are done in black to keep this attractive setup also useful. Wood-like trim, a tilt steering column, and full gauge package with tach are all part of the vintage premium experience. Plus, there are well-integrated upgrades, like the retro-style AM/FM digital tuner. And the factory air conditioning is now blowing cold with modern R134a refrigerant.

The bright golden finish under the hood lets you know you're looking at proper Olds power. This 350 cubic-inch motor was their own creation in this era, and fans look for these because there's a reputation for a hardy construction. So it's great to have the numbers-matching unit present and looking so good. Plus, they made investment in the fundamentals like newer wires and belts. Of course, what you'll really love is the added performance for the Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and headers feeding the dual exhaust. And when you add in the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes with front discs, it makes for a nice total driving experience.

Complete with owner's manual, it's easy to love a well-priced and iconic hardtop. So no matter if you're looking for a build or just a thought these coupes were out of reach, this Cutlass is the one. Call today!!!
