A 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass project is looking for a new owner online, hoping to entice buyers with a package you can hardly find today.
The 1967 Cutlass was part of the second generation, coming in multiple body styles, beginning with two-door coupes, hardtops, and convertibles and ending with four-door sedans, hardtops, and station wagons.
The convertible has always been one of the rarest configurations in the Cutlass lineup, and if you’re a diehard Oldsmobile fan, you’ll probably want to check out this example right here.
The car made its way to eBay earlier this week, still flexing a condition that’ll take many by surprise. It’s completely original, even after all these years, and comes with an engine that still starts, runs, and drives great.
As anyone can tell from the photos posted only by seller roket425, the Cutlass exhibits heavy rust damage, with the floors already compromised. I’d expect the Cutlass to require completely new floors, but you should put the car on a lift to thoroughly inspect the undersides.
The rust results from the Cutlass sleeping under a cover outside for several years. The body looks rough, and it’s unclear if the blue finish is the original paint that came with the car – the owner says the Cutlass is completely original, so chances are the paint aligns with the rest of the vehicle.
The convertible top frame is still in place, but it’ll still require major repairs. The years of sitting outside have produced significant damage, so the metal will account for most of the time during the restoration process.
The 330 under the hood is still in working shape. It comes with a two-barrel carburetor, and the owner says it starts and runs correctly. Theoretically, the working engine allows for an easier restoration to factory specifications, especially as everything is still original on this Cutlass. The interior looks really good for a car this old, and the dashboard doesn’t look cut. The seats will require the typical repairs, though.
A Cutlass convertible isn’t the most desirable project, and this significantly impacts its price. The original setup and the working engine set this 1967 model apart from the rest of the projects looking for a new owner, so I believe it’s a matter of time until it finds a new home. Restoring the car isn’t for the faint of heart, especially considering the rough metal shape.
The owner expects to get $3,000 for their project, but they have enabled the Make Offer button in case someone wants the car but has another deal in mind. You can find the vehicle parked in Conestoga, Pennsylvania, and you’ll need a trailer to take it home despite the working engine – the vehicle isn’t road-worthy, and major repairs are still needed.
