1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass Flaunts the Magic Package: Original, Unrestored, Original Keys
The Cutlass was the model that brought home the bacon for Oldsmobile in the mid-'60s despite the lineup being limited to convertibles, two-door coupes, and two-door hardtops.
However, Oldsmobile tried to refine the lineup further in the following years, and in addition to the 4-4-2 performance package that debuted in 1964, the company also introduced a refresh a year later.
The Cutlass Supreme debuted in 1966 with a four-door hardtop body style, while a full lineup was introduced in 1967 with six-cylinder and V8 engines to target buyers who wanted a more luxurious driving experience.
One of the Cutlass examples that were born during these glorious times landed on eBay earlier this week, and the best part is that it retains its original configuration. Seller daew_12 claims the car "is believed to be all original [and] unrestored," so what you see on this Cutlass is what Oldsmobile last touched before the vehicle left the factory.
The paint shows its age from certain angles, though it looks fantastic from others. It's believed to be the original paint, so it's no surprise that it needs occasional fixes, but it could also be a sign that the car has been properly cared for during all these years.
The vinyl top is also in good shape, though I wouldn't be surprised if it is new. However, you should have it inspected, as a replaced vinyl top could ruin the car's all-original magic that I told you about. If you're particularly interested in an all-original, unrestored, and unaltered Cutlass, this is something to inspect before making an offer.
The vehicle still has the original Oldsmobile keys, though it's unclear if it starts and runs. It's fitted with the 330ci V8 unit that Oldsmobile offered between 1964 and 1967 with a cast-iron design, but find a good mechanic and inspect everything still under the hood. It's important to determine if the engine has already been rebuilt, but if it hasn't, it might require major fixes that could prove costly during a restoration job.
This Oldsmobile Cutlass appears to be a great find for someone planning a complete overhaul, but I can't imagine anyone would attempt a restoration without first checking it in person. The lack of information makes in-person or third-party verification mandatory, so have this in mind if you plan to join the digital battle.
The auction starts at $500, but the owner also configured a reserve. This means the selling price is higher, though it's unclear how high the bidding must go to give this Oldsmobile a second chance. Meanwhile, the car is parked in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and you should consider bringing transportation, as it's unclear if the car is prepared for a long journey to a new garage.
