1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme mild custom with 442 hood. Originally a well cared for and nicely optioned car. It now has some nice custom upgrades. The heart being a fresh Warmed up 455ci engine with TH400 trans.

Factory options include power disk brakes, power steering, power windows, Air conditioning (working) tilt steering wheel, console, floor shift and bucket seats. Original radio still in place. also has cruise but not working.

This Cutlass was a white with black top 350 car. It has never been a beat down car and it shows throughout. The OD states 44,000, and everyone knows how that goes, probably 144000 It could be a true 44000 mile car but I am not representing it as such.

Clues to the possibility of it being a low mile car include- Original steering wheel, gauges, radio and dash all in outstanding condition. pedals and knobs show minimal wear. Carpet is faded, but under the original floor mats still black and like new. Outstanding interior with minimal wear on the front seats, Back seat like new condition. nice original stickers in glove box, original rust free floors and trunk.

Custom upgrades include a low mile Warmed up 455 ci with edelbrock aluminum heads,intake and 750cfm Qjet carb(also edelbrock), roller rockers, timing gear, ceramic coated headers,aluminum radiator, duel electric fans, electric fuel pump, vintage thrush side pipes. Any horsepower rating would be a guess, but the edelbrock kit on a small block chevy will make over 400hp, and this isn't a small block chevy by any means. It is strong with a crisp thumpy idle but is not over cammed. It has great "pedal feel" and is very tight and responsive. It also runs well with the AC on. It also drives like a low mile car.

Clean and straight body with a nice dupont hugger orange paint job, shaved door handles (nice workmanship) with keyless entry. It is sharp! New Vinyl Top, again no rust.
Th 400 trans with original 10 bolt limited slip rear. Fiberglass ram-air hood.

NO RUST. Original metal
Floors and trunk are outstanding original metal with no patch work or thin areas. Quarters had small rust spots behind rear tires, repaired with new metal, The lower fenders had small bubbling and were also patched with new metal.
This car is not perfect, I don't think any over 40 year old classic is, unless your paying big bucks for perfection. It is a clean nice ride that will fit in at any local car show or cruise night, With a little work it could be a show stopper, but it is very enjoyable as it is.

Things the car needs- The undercarriage has not been detailed, it is clean but not fresh painted. The trunk is ready for factory style spatter paint. It is missing the reverse lenses. The front seats show minor wear and if you want to show the car as a high end car, they should be replaced. The passenger corner trim to the vinyl top is missing. I am sure it needs other little things that can be tinkered on here and there. All of the hard work is done.

Any interested buyer should inspect the car in person. This car was not built cheap, and it won't be cheap to buy, the engine alone has over 6 grand into it. The reserve is very reasonable for the quality of the car and the minor things it needs. It is affordable and a good deal, as it is not even close to the amount of time and money that has went into this car.

If you win, show up (or have the car inspected) and don't like the car you are not obligated to buy it.
