It is always hard to find a super clean factory looking example that stands out amongst them all, ut I believe that's just what we have listed here.Restored with amazing attention to detail, he car features a long list of parts that range from the engine, ransmission, nd rear end, ll the way down to the bolts that hold them all together.First a little History on the ‘71 Olds cutlass: The 1971 Models shared much of the same exterior sheet metal as the 1970, ut with a new hood design, ew grille and headlight assemblies, s well as new look on the bumpers and tail lights. For 1971 they also added four new colors: Viking Blue, ime Green, ittersweet, nd Saturn Gold. The famous "Rocket" V8 continued in several different sizes and power options, ith both the large 455 and 'small-block' 350 available with either 2- or 4-barrel carburetors were available for ordering.This particular vehicle is a beautiful,two-owner1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass that has been done about as nice as you can possibly build one without breaking the bank (over $45,000 with all receipts of restoration.) This car comes to Custom Classics on consignment, o that means not only are you getting a unbelievable deal, ut you’re also not paying dealer taxes as well. This car was completed in 2008 and has been only driven on sunny days, eaning it has less than 1000 miles on it since the build. Also as seen in our “extra” pictures, e have many receipts for this restoration, s well as the original Build Sheet from the factory.For what was meant be a somewhat stripped-down Cutlass, he Cutlass interior offers plenty of visual subtleties that give it a much more upscale feel. First and foremost, will mention that this car has an all-original interior in excellent condition, xcept for the new carpeting and rear package tray. When you open the doors, ou’ll find clean inside panels that are accented with bright stainless and rich wood appliqué. Step past the Fisher Body sill plates and you’ll find the new clean green carpet that’s plush and vibrant. A nicely finished combination of bench seats mixes a stylish pattern with plenty of support. Above the seats, n ornate clean factory dash hangs two, rustworthy aftermarket gauges, o you can keep a closer look at what’s going on under the hood without having to trust the original factory gauges. You’ll also find on that stock dash a beautifully chromed standard AM/FM radio. The driver stays connected to the road through a correct factory steering wheel. All in all, ther than a little wear on the left door armrest, tepping into this interior is essentially like stepping into a time machine set for 1971. Taking a quick look inside the trunk, ou’ll find a clean and solid floor (see pics), ith factory style floor mat, nd a fresh painted rally wheel, hat’s been mounted on a spare tire.The engine started as a 455 Olds that was built by Joe Mondello himself. (Now built to a 468ci.) It has all the Mondello tricks, nd puts out an impressively fun 346 whp and 414 ft. lbs. of torque at 3000rpm. The transmission is a built Turbo 400 that was built for street/strip with a Pro-Torque 2500 stall speed converter. The power is coming down to the street thanks to a Built 3:42 rear-end with an Eaton Posi with 30 spline axles. The car keeps itself cool on hot summer days with a 4-core Be-Cool aluminum radiator. The owner tells us everything on the car is either new or rebuilt, nd nothing has been overlooked.The underside of this awesome Cutlass is completely solid, nd thanks to a fully restored and painted chassis, hows no signs of undue wear or question-inducing battle scars. That driveline hangs in a correct FE2 suspension, hich includes better shocks, hicker coil springs, oxed rear control trailing arms and a rear sway bar. Power-assisted discs and drums provide braking, hile turns come courtesy of factory power steering. At the center of the car, luminized pipes funnel spent gases through Super Turbo mufflers. And at the corners of the car, olor-keyed Styled Steel IIs spin BF Goodrich Radial TA’s around bright stainless trim rings and rocket-branded center caps.This car will not last long at this price, hich is by far less than what we could even smooth and paint one for. It’s the perfect time of year to run a muscle car around town and out for dinner at night. Run those windows down, isten to that big 468ci V8 and feel the cool air outside hit you in the face when your foot is to the floor. If you have been putting off buying a muscle car, r just sold yours and you’re looking for your next show toy, his one’s for you!
