1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme/442 W-30 Convertible      1970 was the pinnacle of the muscle car era, and the Cutlass/442 model is one of the most highly sought after muscle cars on the planet. This stunning example of a 1970 Oldsmobile was made to look like the awesome 442 W-30 convertible model seen in the pictures. I have to say this is one of the cleanest 43 year old undercarriages I have seen on a car from the Midwest or anywhere around this country. I had no access to a lift, but I showed a picture of how truly clean the underside of this car really is. If the bottom were painted satin black this car could be taken up to another level. That can be arranged for the winning bidder at a small additional charge if they would like. I saw no signs of this car ever being involved in an accident. This Olds has a clean and clear title issued in Illinois from 1993. I purchased the car already painted and striped. The body is virtually laser straight as seen in the pictures. I would rate this as a drivers quality paint job that some people might consider to be closer to show quality. The chrome is in drivers quality condition or better. The door handles are brand new, and the window felts, and the rubber gaskets on the doors are also brand new. The trunk gasket is brand new. There were many items on this car that were replaced with new aftermarket or new old stock parts. The body was painted in special ordered 1970 Code 51 Sebring yellow, and the W-25 ram-air hood stripes, and the W-30 side stripes are black. This car looks spectacular to nearly everyone who sees it. This car is for the guy or girl who had one in high school and would like to revisit the past, or for someone who simply likes to drive around to enjoy steering their investment while their money grows. It's also a wonderful car to take to the local drive-in movie theater or cruise night with the top down. The summer has finally arrived, so this convertible is ready for a full season of top down cruising! The convertible top had some minor repair work professionally done, but is barely noticeable. I would say that this top can be used for another season or two. There is a rear glass window, not plastic. This car has a nice new pair of headers, and both mufflers are brand new with chrome trumpets exposed through the cut-out portions of the rear bumper. Every time this car is fired up, it's like an adrenaline rush! The engine is powered by a newer AC Delco battery, and was meticulously detailed with new yellow Super Stock 8mm spark plug wires for maximum spark. This Olds has a four core radiator for maximum cooling. A new set of AC Delco Rapid Fire Performance spark plugs were just installed, along with a new distributor cap and rotor. I was told the engine and transmission are original to the car and were completely redone including a high performance cam. It has the W-25 forced air induction ram-air hood, with the awesome factory GM ram-air cleaner that has a new foam seal. The hood has brand new chrome twistdowns to make sure it stays locked down in place. The trunk lid has a spoiler to help give it down force at high speeds. I personally don't drive fast anymore, but the next owner may like to. This Olds has the one year only 1970 dual clam shell sport mirrors with the drivers side being remote controlled. It is steered with the deluxe four spoke 442 sport wheel. All the seat belts are in place in the front and the rear. The windows have the factory light blue tint option. The other options include power steering, power brakes, and a power top that was just filled with fluid to make it work fast like when it was new. These GM A-bodies have some of the nicest working tops of any convertibles ever made. This Olds has a 10-bolt rear-end, but I am not sure of the gear ratio. This convertible rides on a very nice set of four raised white lettered P225/70R14" General XP 2000 radial tires. They are mounted on a set of four Super Stock II wheels with all four bolt-on center caps, and all four beauty trim rings mounted with new chrome lug nuts.The horn, lighter, and clock are not working. The front bucket seats were just reupholstered, so they should last, and be nice and comfortable for many years to come. The balance of the interior shows very well as shown in the pictures. This car has an after market Sony AM/FM Cassette player, but is not wired up, so the choice of stereo will be left up to the winning bidder. A brand new washer fluid container, and a new coolant overflow tank were just installed. It would not take much to bring this car up to the next level. The carpet was recently installed with brand new floor mats. The original trunk floor is near perfect, and was coated with AC Delco spatter spray with a new trunk mat on top that holds a nicely restored jack, and crowbar. A full size Super Stock II wheel with a raised white lettered spare tire comes inside the trunk just in case there is a mishap on the road. With a quick tire change you can be on your way looking complete. Everywhere you drive this car people are attracted to this droptop like a magnet. You must be prepared to be the spectacle of the neighborhood. These cars are getting harder and harder to come across. I tried to replace all of the factory decals to make this Olds appear as it would have looked the day it rolled out of the factory onto the showroom floor to resemble the way a real 442 convertible would have looked back in 1970. Take advantage of this chance to finally own your dream car. This is an investment that will continue to rise as these cars have been known to consistently appreciate in value with each quarter. This is a prime opportunity to own a piece of muscle car history at a reasonable price. A great deal of time, money, and effort went into making the car you see listed in this description.
