1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

1971 Cutlass Supreme Convertible For 1971, there were 70,854 Cutlass Supremes produced. Of them, 10,255 were convertibles. If we remove the 1,414 442 equipped cars that were convertibles, that means just 8,841 1971 Cutlass Supremes convertibles, (non-442/W-30), were produced. It makes sense that the 71's are relatively uncommon here at the mall. For consignment, a 1971 Cutlass Supreme convertible showing 68,390 miles, but the true miles are unknown. What is known is that this is a survivor car with a numbers matching drivetrain and a clean presentation.  Exterior Lime Green coats this car in gleaming consignor stated factory applied single stage coverage and the 14-inch Olds Super Stock II wheel inserts are painted to match. The grille, chrome bumpers, headlight bezels, and other metal work around the car remain in fantastic condition and the white canvas convertible top and its glass window also show very well, with some of the typical discoloration expected on white. Color matched sport mirrors are on both sides and the stacked tail lights are pleasantly simple and instantly recognizable. White stripes accentuate the side body lines and also wrap the stamped sections of the hood, providing a coordinated feature with the soft top. Imperfections include paint run, a ding, and a touched up scratch at a wheel opening.  Interior White vinyl adorns the door panels with large, simulated wood inserts that house the contrasting door pull and both portals are in great shape. Those wood sections create a cohesive line of walnut that extends onto the dash which houses clean instrumentation and an AM/FM radio. The newer front split bench seats are done in white vinyl with center armrest and headrests included and the condition to include the newer rear bench is very nice. We love the courtesy light integrated in the forward corner of the back panel armrest. A 4 spoke sport steering wheel shares the column with the automatic shifter and to the left of the column we note a power switch for the top. Black loop style carpet is clean below and the trunk is covered with gray mat and houses a covered spare.  Drivetrain The bay is clean and is home to the numbers matching 350ci Rocket V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor and mated to its numbers matching TH350 3-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the 12 bolt rear axle.  Undercarriage Very clean conditions prevail underneath where the dual exhaust runs through stock style mufflers and exit without fanfare under the car in back. Power drum brakes are at all four wheels where 225/70R14 tires with a late 2023 date code wrap the 14-inch wheels. Suspension includes coil springs front and rear with a 4 link in back.   Drive-Ability A sweet exhaust is dispensed by the dual exhaust as we bring the 54 year old drivetrain to life. Slide the shifter in Drive and hit the gas, and the A-body performs as if it drank from the fountain of youth. Good power, straight tracking, nice handling, and with the top down, the smiles per gallon are going to be extensive. We find only the clock not working on our functionality test and we return this lime ride to the mall to find a nice spot to squeeze it into. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. A real survivor that holds its numbers matching drivetrain, power brakes, power steering, power windows! Green means go so don't tap the brakes on this one or you'll be waving goodbye to a very nice '71 Cutlass. Everything's better with a little lime in it, including your garage. We'll wait by the phone. 342671M111150 3-Oldsmobile 42-Cutlass Supreme 67-Convertible 1-1971 M-Lansing, MI Assy Plant 111150-Sequential Unit Number TRIM TAG ST 71 34267-1971 Cutlass Supreme Convertible BDY LAN212948-Lansing Body # TR 987-White Vinyl Bench Seat PNT 43A-Lime Green, White Top 11D-4th W
