1971 Olds Cutlass S
min rust NM / Arizona desert survivor located in Tucson ! very low reserve !!!
We suggest viewing this auction on a normal PC or tablet and NOT A PHONE to see ALL the large clear pics !!! AND NO RESERVE !! IF YOU HAVE UNDER 10 Feedbacks you have to email me if you plan on bidding. If you dont, we will email you and cancel your bid if you dont respond... period. BRIEF DESCRIPTION: this car was an awesome GOLD color when new ! This car sat pretty much next to a house in the desert for about 10 or so yrs. Its been slowly resurrected back to life. Some new parts installed in the last few weeks are: front brake lines, brake master, water & fuel pump and upper control arm bushings. Very well loaded car from the factory: factory PS (works) PDB up front, in dash 8 trac, console with shifter and more.. This car runs and drives, it starts all the time and Ive driven it around our yard for a few weeks now. Its running off a bottle of gas under the hood, the tank hasnt been flushed or cleaned out. Also, the neutral safety switch is out of wack, and it only starts when the car is in the nuetral or Drive position on the shifter. The engine sounds good and the trans feels good too. As for the body, it looks to have all the original panels from front to back. Very straight and rust free body. The only dents I recall where behind both rear wheels by the lower 1/4s...and not that bad. Super solid rockers and outter sheetmetal. Rear bumper did get backed into a small pole in a parking lot. The original color of the car was an awesome Gold. about 20 yrs ago someone painted it red with the lower black stripes to resemble the 442 cars. Most of the Red paint has been burned off by the SW sun and you can see the original gold, and some primer showing now. The dr door and back window are missing. Because of that the dr side carpet got wet and both dr side front and rear floor pans rusted from the inside out. The trunk, cowl, lower rear window and rest of the car are your typical SW desert survivor sheetmetal and very clean. DONT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS IN HAND, apparently some people who use ebay arent smart enough to understand the rules. So if you have under 10 feedbacks, Ill be emailing you if you bid to make sure you are legit, if we do please reply or we will cancel your bid. Up for Auction: LOW FAIR RESERVE !!! These cars are getting harder to find esp in this condition that are still affordable to most buyers. DRIVETRAIN: this car has its factory Rocket 350 with the turbo 350 3 spd auto and 10 bolt rear. Although very neglected looking, it runs better then it may look. No weird noises or excessive smoke etc. Its far from being restored, but should be usable as is making the restoration much cheaper and easier.
INTERIOR: take a look at the pics, although it looks okay in the pics the interior was redone about 15 yrs ago too. And its already very worn looking from the NM and AZ heat an sun. So expect to redo the full interior in the future. Its all there at least and the bucket seats and console are a nice touch and help with the Muscle car theme. Surprisingly the headliner is in very nice shape and can prob be saved. EXTERIOR:the body and and original sheetmetal on this car are in really nice shape for their age. Windshield is cracked bad too. Someone painted the bumpers black when it was painted red yrs ago, but they would rechrome nice. YES, the rear was backed up into a small pole, it was more like a 10 mph impact and its the worst damage we can find on the car. Still all fixable. During restoration, you could go back 100% stock.... or RESTO MOD the heck out of it !! The stainless on the outside of the car is in really good shape and its all there!
SUSPENSION:the suspension looks very much original and tires are pretty old and mismatched of course. Rims too... mostly just for rollers. Nothing weird to report here, mostly all original but functional as is Below are pics of some 18x9 Resto mod style rims we test fit on the car to see how well they would fit, and they look and fit great ! SO IF THERE IS A WINNER and IF THEY WANT TO BUY the rims and maybe a good set of used 18" tires for it, just inquire, ..we can make you a good deal on those too !! Check out ALL the pics below ----->
it may take a full minute for them all to load ifyou have a slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra scroll bar on the right side. Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate. more infoAFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.
There you have it, probably The BEST represented GMs on Ebay. Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them. We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows. People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end. Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days speaks volumes. This is a very RUST FREE TRUE AZ CAR like most we have sold over the years, and its still better then most out there for sale or bondo-ed up to look restored. WE ARE LOCATED IN TUCSON Its still so clean, If the car doesnt sell, Im okay with that too because Id love to keep it its that nice. Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating. People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers.
Email us with ANY questions before you bid please Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself. We show you as much feasibly possible via pics. Dont let auctions withlittle to no pics try to fool you.
