SOLD - 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
The Cutlass 2-door A-body sedan is a classic muscle car from the year
that defined the very peak of the muscle-car era: 1967. The graceful,
flowing, 'muscular' lines of the fenders, doors and roof defined the
modern look of the sedan. This marked departure from the bulbous, finned
look of the 50's, 40's and 30's set the modern standard for car-body
design that defines what a sedan is and looks like to this very day.
The Cutlass features a nearly-vertical rear window protected by raked
fins that has since been seen on some other American and Japanese sports
cars, and is especially popular among many European sports cars.
The 'Supreme' designation means the stock Cutlass came with some
super-sport-like features: stock 4 BBL Quadrajet carb on an Olds 330 CID,
bucket seats, floor-mounted shifter for automatic tranny. I'm not
too clear on how this differs from a 442.
The Cutlass is built on the GM A-body, which means that the suspension
parts and mounting points are interchangeable with the other muscle cars
of the '66 to '72 era: the Chevy Chevelle SuperSport, the Pontiac, the
Buick LeSabre.
Features
This particular car is a project car: not running, needs engine work,
needs body work. Restorable or can be parted out. Used to be carefully
maintained. Garaged clean and dry for the last 11 years, interior in
good condition.
The paint and mismatched body panels make it look worse than it is.
