For Sale: 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme in JEFFERSON, Wisconsin for sale in Jefferson, WI
Vehicle Description If you are into Oldsmobiles, then you probably know about the Cutlass SX.
They were only made during 1970 and part of the 71 model years.
It is basically a 442 in sheep's clothing.
There is no way to identify one from the VIN, so it was good for beating insurance premiums.
All SX's had 455 Rocket V8 engines and Turbo Hydramatic 400 transmissions.
They had the 442 cutout rear bumper for the trumpet exhaust tips.
The Y79 RPO code denotes the SX Performance Package on the build sheet.
This particular car is one of 1820 1971 Cutlass SX Holiday Coupes built.
It is one of the few known to have been built at the Arlington, TX production plant.
It was sold new to a woman from TN.
Back in the 80's is showed up for sale at the swap meet at Carlisle, PA.
The most recent owner purchased it and has kept it as part of his Oldsmobile collection in Northern FL.
This car was part of his collection for the past 33 years.
He is well informed on the brand, takes great care of his cars and was successful in sourcing new old stock parts to keep them looking original.
He definitely cared for his Oldsmobiles.
The 1971 cars had the L32 455 Rocket V8.
It was rated at 320HP and 460 foot lbs.
of torque.
Somewhat detuned from the 1970 engine due to a reduction in compression.
The performance of all engines was being reduced starting in 1971.
But I can tell you that these engines are very strong and have enormous torque.
This is a car that will sneak up on most others.
The original TH400 transmission is not in the car.
Instead, a 1974 OG type is in its place.
This transmission was rebuilt and the receipt is with the car.
The engine and rear axle are original to the car.
The axle gear ratio is 2.
56:
1 and it's open.
The engine is fueled by a Rochester four barrel carburetor on the stock cast iron intake manifold.
The exhaust manifolds are correct and initiate the true dual exhaust system that ends with the stylish Trumpet tips.
A Petronix ignition module has been installed.
This car has power steering and power brakes.
They are four wheel drums of the heavy duty variety.
The braking system has been overhauled with new components.
The factory air conditioning system is still filled with R12 Freon and it is full enough to close the switch.
Due to the cold weather, I cannot tell if it is producing cold air, but the system is working.
The glass is Soft Ray tinted to help keep the car cooler.
The Arlington built cars are pretty rare.
It is said that they typically have a build sheet stashed somewhere.
Nobody has ever looked in this car.
It would be a nice find.
This car does have the front fender braces that denote a true SX.
The fenders are the flat 1970 fenders.
This car was built during the first week of December, 1970.
The paint is code 26, Viking Blue.
It was repainted in the 90s and still looks great.
There were just a few tiny areas that needed to be touched up and the leftover paint was still usable.
The White vinyl top is the original.
The style is a Halo top, which allows a bit of the car's painted surface to show around the edges.
This a favorite styling cue of mine.
This car has the bright moldings.
The bumpers are in fantastic condition.
The hood is flat, as the SX cars did not have the OAI hood when built.
The interior trim is code 977, Ivory bucket seats.
The upholstery is original and in great shape, as is the matching headliner.
The black loop carpet is too nice to be original, it is the correct style.
The Deluxe seat belts are black.
This car has a center console with shifter.
One of the original rubber Oldsmobile mats was in the car when I bought it.
I have since installed a new set of reproduction black rubber Oldsmobile floor mats.
The steering wheel is the Sport version.
The pushbutton AM-FM radio plays to front and rear speakers.
This car rolls on the correct Super Stock III body color matched wheels.
We had to replace the tires due to age, they have been on the car since before it was purchased in 1989.
They looked great, but the age concerned me.
We installed a new set of 215/75R14 whitewall tires, which closely match the appearance and size of the original spare that resides in the trunk.
The trunk contains the proper jacking equipment mounted over an original appearing trunk mat.
The original Owner's Manual packet is in the glovebox.
It contains the Protect-O-Plate.
There are a few receipts and other documents as well.
There are multiple sets of keys that actuate all locks.
All features, lights and gauges work properly.
This is a beautiful car that has been well-cared for.
I doubt it has ever seen salt.
The underside of the car is testimony to that statement.
This car was part of a small Oldsmobile collection held by a man who knew the brand and cared for his cars.
It is a rare car, one of the few of 1820 Holiday Coupe Cutlass SX's built for 1971.
It has only been gently driven 98,137 miles.
