1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass

This 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme convertible was acquired by the seller in December 2017 and subsequently modified with the installation of Hotchkis suspension components, an aluminum-block 6.0-liter L76 V8, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The car is finished in blue with black stripes and a power-operated white convertible top over blue upholstery. Equipment includes a 3.73:1 PosiTraction differential, shorty-style headers, 17″ American Racing alloy wheels, power-assisted disc brakes, power steering, LED headlights, woodgrain interior trim, front bucket seats, power windows, a Lokar shifter, Dakota Digital gauges, and a vintage-look AM/FM stereo. This Cutlass convertible is now offered with a clean Texas title in the seller’s name. The body is finished in blue with black stripes on the hood, decklid, and fenders. Exterior details include a power-operated white soft top, chrome bumpers, quadruple headlights, color-keyed side mirrors, bright side moldings, LED headlights, and a dual-exhaust system with an H-pipe and Flowmaster mufflers. Images showing a dent in the rear bumper, corrosion on the hood, and paint imperfections are provided in the gallery. American Racing 17″ alloy wheels are mounted with Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires. Equipment and modifications include power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, a close-ratio power steering box, Hotchkis tubular front control arms, a rear sway bar, rear traction bars, and Fox shocks at each corner. The front bucket seats feature integrated three-point seat belts and are upholstered in blue vinyl with matching cloth centers. The rear bench wears matching upholstery, and interior equipment includes a center console with a cupholder along with power windows, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a console-mounted Lokar shifter, lap belts for the rear occupants, woodgrain trim, and a vintage-look AM/FM stereo. The seller notes evidence of corrosion is present on the passenger floor. The wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts Dakota Digital instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and a combination gauge. The seller notes the key occasionally needs to be turned multiple times to engage the starter. The digital odometer shows 2,900 miles, all of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown. The aluminum-block 6.0-liter L76 V8 was reportedly sourced from a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT and installed under current ownership. Modifications include a fabricated air intake, shorty-style headers, and revised ECU tuning. The fuel pump, fuel tank, and radiator are said to have been replaced during the engine swap. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed 6L80E automatic transmission and a 10-bolt rear axle housing a 3.73:1 PosiTraction differential. The seller notes the transmission hangs low and occasionally contacts the ground over bumps.
