Oldsmobile offered the 1967 Cutlass Supreme with four-barrel carburetors, no matter the engine under the hood. The same unit was installed for low- and high-compression versions of this engine, so while some people use the four-barrel unit as an indicator of the mill under the hood, the carburetor doesn’t really tell much about what’s hiding in there.
The Cutlass Supreme could be had with the high-compression four-barrel engines as standard, but many people decided to downgrade to two-barrel units for a reason that some people wouldn’t even imagine.
They say the costs of premium gas were high enough (although the difference was only a few dollars per full tank) to justify a downgrade to a two-barrel unit.
The 1967 Cutlass Supreme in these photos survived this trend and retains its high-performance engine under the hood, still running like a new car after all these years.
eBay seller car2114 explains on the auction site that the transmission also shifts correctly, so the Cutlass is ready for the road if you just want to hop in and drive.
The vehicle has barely been driven in the last decades. The owner says they purchased the car in 1997, but they have only added approximately 4,000 miles (about 6,450 km) since then. This means the vehicle was driven for only 150 miles per year, so this Cutlass Supreme spent most of its time inside, away from things like snow and rain.
Everything looks fabulous on the car, but the owner acknowledges that the paint is not as good as some collectors would expect. There’s also a crack in the left taillight bezel, but overall, this Cutlass Supreme needs only minor TLC to return to a tip-top shape.
As anyone would expect, the car comes without typical old car problems, like rusty floors and missing parts. The interior is clean and in fantastic shape, and I believe it’s a matter of time until the Olds finds a new home. Sure, it doesn’t answer essential questions, such as how original the vehicle continues to be, but it’s very clear this is a Cutlass that has been properly cared for since it rolled off the assembly lines.
The selling price is unknown because deciding it is the Internet’s responsibility. The owner posted the car online as part of a no-reserve auction, meaning that the top bidder will take it home, regardless of how high the bidding goes. The top offer is $5,000, but the car will certainly sell for more money, as the digital fight typically gets fiercer in the last days of an auction.
The Cutlass is parked in Bloomfield, New Mexico, and considering the auction ends in approximately one week, you still have enough time to inspect it live should you want to enter the fight.
