1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass

Up for auction is my 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass 350. This Olds has had performance and convenience additions during a father and son complete frame-off rebuild in 2004. She has had light use up to recently with a refresh service. clean. and tune up just recently finished.   Under 10. 00 miles are on the car since resto-rebuild.   A few parking lot dings were repaired and the whole car has been buffed-out. It looks great. runs great. and drives great and will not disappoint.

She is clean and a very fast and fun-to-drive muscle car that gets a lot of attention without being garish.

There is a full list of upgrades and work done below. but the highlights are:

Attractive 1968 Hurst Olds 'themed' finish. including black and silver paint scheme. under-bumper Ram air intakes. W-30 red front wheel wells. and new reproduction interior

Machine-balanced Oldsmobile 350 small block. with aftermarket cam. manifold. roller rockers. carburetor. headers and exhaust. and ignition. Shaved heads to make 11:1 compression

Modern 6-speed overdrive transmission along with a 4:33 posi-traction rear-end make it quick and fast

4-wheel disc brakes and best-option retrofit control arms and sway bars all around make it composed and pretty darn fun around the corners.   Car can't decide if it is Pro-touring or Pro-street
