1971 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS SUPREME CONVERTIBLE

OVERVIEW

This restored 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme convertible is reportedly a special-order car that was built in Lansing, Michigan and has been with the seller for six years. It is powered by a Mondello Performance Products 425ci V8 backed by a Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission. Features include power steering, power front disc brakes, air conditioning, an AM radio with an 8-track tape player, bucket seats, a power convertible top, and an Outside Air Induction (OAI) hood. Finished in Ford Magma Red over a Sienna vinyl interior, this garage-kept Cutlass Supreme is available now and comes with the original Oldsmobile rims, the original numbers-matching 350ci V8 F1 high-nickel-content engine block, the original body trim package, and a Rhode Island Registration Certificate in the seller's name.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

According to the seller, this Cutlass was in storage for 38 years, then restored in 2020. During that process, the driver- and passenger-side rear quarters were replaced with factory GM parts and the exterior was refinished in Ford's Magma Red. Features include chrome bumpers, a Thornton Muscle Cars W25 OAI hood with twist hood locks, white hood and side stripes, 442 emblems, color-keyed sport mirror caps, a power white convertible top with a glass rear window, and a rear spoiler. According to the seller, there are chips in the paint. A walk-around video with the engine running can be seen below.

EXTERIOR - WHEELS AND TIRES

A set of Super Stock II wheels is wrapped in Mastercraft Avenger G/T radial tires.

The front bucket seats and the rear seat are upholstered in Sienna vinyl. Features include power steering and brakes, a center console with a locking storage compartment and a manual transmission shifter, factory air conditioning, an AM radio with an 8-track tape player, woodgrain accents, and a sport steering wheel with a black grip. An interior tour is shown in one of the videos below.
