Blue convertible with a pro-touring / resto-mod look.

Description for Oldsmobile Cutlass 1967

Get ready for spring and summer with this 1967 Cutlass Convertible. The car has the original drivetrain. An Olds 330 cu inch Jetfire engine and Jetaway automatic transmission. The car indicates 13. 00 miles. I believe this to be 113. 00 based on the car’s history and my experience with it. I am the third owner. The previous owner had it for about 5 years (in eastern Alabama) and the first owner had it for the 40+ years before that in Georgia. I have the original title. and Protect-O plate for the car as well as some other documentation for the car including the original owner’s manual. I moved to Rhode Island in July 2014 and this car has never seen snow or salt. One look at the undercarriage will prove it. The car is in great mechanical shape. It starts right up and drives great. I addressed a few mechanical issues when I bought it to include: - New front brake calipers and pads - New rear brake shoes - New front upper and lower control arm bushings - New rear lower control arm bushings - New front shocks - New rear adjustable air shocks - New rear axle bearings - New steering gear The convertible top works great and is in like-new condition. The car is almost 50 years old and I don’t drive it when it rains. I keep the top up when I’m not using it and the top stays down when I drive it. The car gets about 16mpg in the city and around 20mpg on the highway. I have a soft parade boot (covers the convertible top well when the top is down) for it also. I’ve never used it. but it is included in the sale. - The car is basically stock with a few modifications: Brakes: The front brakes have been modified from drum to disk. They are the standard early 70’s GM disk brake setup. The car stops great. Suspension: the car has been lowered 2 inches using drop spindles and springs. The important thing to know here is that nothing has been cut or welded. I have the original spindles and springs in case you ever wanted to bring it back to the original stance. (However I think it looks great the way it is) Wheels and Tires: It has Coys wheels (18 inch in front. and 20 inch in back). The tires are Toyos. 225/45ZR18 in front and 225/55ZR20 in back. They are in great shape. and I have a spare front tire as well. I do not have the original wheels or tires. Carburetor: The stock 2 bbl carburetor was replaced with a Holley 4 bbl that works great. Ignition: The old points-style ignition has been replaced with an electronic ignition for better efficiency and less hassle with the points. Front Seats: I replaced the front seats with Procar “Scat” Rally seats. They look great and have nice bolsters to keep you in place. I have the original front seats (which are be included in the sale). The rest of the interior appears to be original. I used SEM Color Coat to dye it to a bright white (called “Sail Cloth White” by SEM). Now it looks great and matches the front seats. By the way. the original front seats would sell for around $700 - $900 if I sold them separately. Stereo: I do not have an in-dash stereo. I have the car setup with a Kicker PXibt 50. 2 Bluetooth amplifier and speakers. It allows you to wirelessly stream your iPod or Pandora. The Bluetooth amp is hidden behind the dash. I have two 6-inch Kicker KS speakers (top of the line). which are plenty loud even at highway speeds. The speakers are mounted in a custom-made box that sits on the transmission tunnel so that I didn’t have to cut any holes in the car for speaker mounting. The speaker box just sits there and is not bolted down. There are a few “others” with this car. Here are the main ones: - The transmission shifts nicely both up and down. but there is a slight “knock” when it goes from 2nd to 1st. It’s nothing major and your passengers probably won’t even notice it. but in the vein of full disclosure you should know about it. - The car was repainted in 1986. The paint looks good for it’s age. but there are a few spots of bubbling. One by the passenger side vent window and some on the passenger side rocker panel. Also. I scratched the paint around the trunk emblem. - The fuel gauge currently does not work. I recently spent a small fortune getting the instrument panel restored and now the gauge reads empty all the time. I’m sure it’s a simple electrical fault. but I have not diagnosed it yet. To be clear this car is a driver…not a show car. However. it’s a very nice driver that people really love. The car is cool on it’s own. but the “resto-mod” look with the big wheels and tires really sets it apart from other cars of the era. I have thoroughly enjoyed owning. fixing and driving this car. But as car guys know. it’s time to move on. Maybe this will be your next toy. Call or text if you’re interested. Joe (757) 672-6465
