1968 Cutlass S Convertible---restored---buckets---factory Air----new Everything! on 2040-cars

I bought this Cutlass S in 2008 to restore, because it was a convertible with factory air, bucket seats and a console-mounted floor shifter.  The fact that it came with power windows and had front disc brakes already installed sealed the deal for me.  This car has all the features to be a stylish, comfortable long-distance cruiser.  Since completion, I have taken it on two long distance tours, so it can be driven anywhere reliably.  Those friends that have driven the car comment that it is well-sorted. The convertible top mechanism has never given me a moment's trouble.  The car starts first time, every time, even if it has set for two weeks.  Tires on the car are P225-70 R-14 BF Goodrich Radial T/As with about 70% of tread left.  Clear car title is in hand;  non-smoking household.

I do most of my own automobile restoration work so I know it's done right.  Am a member of both the Oldsmobile Club of America and the AACA and treasure originality.  I strive to restore each car as close to factory correct as possible.  I hire seasoned professionals to rebuild the engines and transmissions.  Have all the receipts for parts I purchased, and for the service and restoration work I couldn't do myself.  Also included are the previous owner's receipts for service work performed as early as 1982.  I have been trained over the years to do everything to restore a classic car except body and paint work.  That is all that is left to do on this car.  There is no body damage to fix, but there is some rust at the bottom of each rear quarter panel.  At some point in its lifetime, this car was heavily treated with Ziebart rust proof spray inside the body in over thirty different areas, including the underbody.  The car was repainted before I purchased it but the paint is tired.  It certainly could be left and enjoyed "as is" or repainted--allowing you to pick whichever color you like best.  I am sure this Cutlass will be a great  buy for any enthusiast that wants a car they can enjoy right now.
