1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme "triple white" 442 Convertible Dream Girls can be plentiful when you drive up in your very own dream car! You would be hard pressed to find a "triple white" 1970 Cutlass Supreme Convertible made to look like this awesome 442 model anywhere around your part of the country. This is a very elegant color combination! 1970 was the pinnacle of the muscle car era, and the Cutlass/442 model is one of the most highly sought after muscle cars on the planet. If your father had one back in the day, you were definitely the cool family on the block that everyone admired. My business partner and I recently acquired this sweet 1970 Oldsmobile convertible several months back from the state of Kentucky. Two southern gentlemen attempted to restore this car as a team and they gave up. The body was completely solid, and we saw no signs of this car ever being involved in an accident. That's when my partner and I decided to make the purchase, and finish the car off the way they intended. From what we were told this car spent its entire life down south, so the body and frame were never exposed to the elements of the midwest. A copy of the Kentucky title showing it was last registered on the notorious highway 66 will be supplied to the winning bidder to support its past history, but that nice Kentucky title had to be given to the Wisconsin DMV to currently register the car to prepare it for sale. This car is being sold as is with no liens, or salvage on an open, clean, and clear Wisconsin title. Plus, The new title verifies that this Olds was previously titled in the state of Kentucky. We were told the mileage could possibly be the original, but the mileage is exempt when these cars are titled nowadays, so we are uncertain to make that statement to be factual. This car had only one re-paint prior to the current paintwork. This was a very easy body to work with that needed very little filler. As you can see from the pictures, the body is virtually laser straight. This is a drivers quality paint job that some people might consider to be show quality, but we personally do not. We're selling this car as an un-restored car. The chrome is all in nice drivers quality condition or better. We believe the front bumper to be actually brand new. To make this car really nice, it would deserve a complete restoration. Although it is not out of the realm of possibility for it to win some local car shows in its current condition. With that being said, the body was painted in the proper basecoat for 1970 in code 10 Porcelain White, and then the W-25 ram-air hood stripes, and the W-30 side stripes were painted on in code 53 Saturn Gold. Following the basecoat and stripes, were four coats of clearcoat to bury those stripes into the paint. This car looks spectacular to nearly everyone who sees it. This car is for the guy or girl who had one in high school and would like to revisit the past, or for someone who simply likes to drive around to enjoy steering their investment while their money grows. It's also a wonderful car to take to the local drive-in movie theater or cruise night. Doesn't every guy or girl deserve to have an old school classic car to tinker around with in their garage at night? These cars were made to allow the average guy or girl to be able to work on them without having to pay the high dollars of having a shop have all the fun. There are a wide variety of muscle and classic car part suppliers out there today that stock nearly every part you could ever need for these types of classic cars. Local swap meets are also a fun hobby to acquire parts where nearly any part can be found very inexpensive. Spring is right around the corner, and this car is getting ready for a full summer of top down cruising! The original convertible top has been replaced by the previous owner, and they said it is less than a year old. In our opinion this top appears to be in very good condition, so we both agree that this newer top should last for many years to come. Although this top is in very good to newer condition, we didn't want to put the top down to shoot any outdoor pictures to avoid the risk of any damage to such a nice top. It has only been in the 20 degree range, and whenever a top is placed in the downward position in this temperature, you risk cracking. There are no cracks whatsoever in this top, and we wanted to keep it that way for the new owner. There will be plenty of time to have the top down in the springtime. This newer top also has a rear glass window, not plastic. Included with this auction is an original convertible top boot to place over the top whenever the top is down. The original 1970 Cutlass/442 owner's manual is also included in the glove box. The dual exhaust is relatively new, and rumbles nicely with what appears to be the original exhaust manifolds. New chrome exhaust tips were just added for that muscle car look. Every time this car is fired up, it's like an adrenaline rush! The engine was detailed and has yellow Super Stock 8mm spark plug wires for maximum spark. This Olds was ordered with factory air conditioning, and all the parts seem to be in place except for the compressor and the hoses. Making the air conditioning functional will be left up to the next owner if they so desire. Although the four core radiator is a good start. The condensor is still even in place in front of the radiator. This car starts right up every time, and drives down the road like a beast. We were told the engine may be numbers matching, but neither one of us could find the numbers to verify that statement. The 4 barrel Quadrajet carburator sits on top of an Oldsmobile High Performer aluminum intake manifold. This classic Olds has some very rare options for a 43 year old car. It has the W-25 forced air induction ram-air hood, with chrome twistdowns to make sure it stays locked down in place. It has the infamous Whale Tail spoiler to help give it down force at high speeds. This Olds has the dual sport mirrors with the drivers side being remote controlled. It is steered with the deluxe four spoke 442 sport wheel. There is nothing like cruising down the road looking out the windshield at that awesome striped hood, with the top down, and a peak in the rear view mirror to see the whale tail spoiler at a glance. Also included is power steering, power brakes, power top, and air conditioning. This Olds has a 10-bolt rear-end, but I am not sure of the gear ratio. This Oldsmobile rides on a very nice set of four raised white lettered P225/70R15"Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires. The newer tires are mounted on a set of four Super Stock II wheels color coded in Saturn Gold to match the W-30 stripes with all four center caps, and all four beauty trim rings mounted with all new chrome lug nuts. These tires are just the right size to make this Olds sit up proud like a real 442 should. The head lights, bright lights, all four tail and brake lights, and even the license plate light all work as they should. The horn, lighter, and clock are not working, but the clock is set on the best time of the day. It's always 4:42 time! The front bucket seats were just reupholstered, so they will be nice and comfortable for many years to come. The balance of the interior shows very well as shown in the pictures. This car has an after market Pioneer AM/FM Cassette player, but is not wired up. We saw no cracks in this dash, and it was never all cut up, so the choice of stereo will be left up to the winning bidder. Many Oldsmobile owners like to put the original stereo radio back in place, so since this dashboard was never demolished we figured we would leave the stereo preference up to the new owner. The wipers work fine on both speeds. New wiper blades were just installed with a brand new washer fluid container, and a new coolant overflow tank for the 4 core radiator. The floors and trunk had some minor patchwork that was done right, and the frame is in surprisingly very good condition. Brand new carpet was recently installed with brand new floor mats before the very nice console and bucket seats were installed. The original trunk floor was coated with spatter spray, and the trunk floor has a very nice rubber Oldsmobile trunk mat under a nicely restored jack, and crowbar. A full size Super Stock II wheel with a raised white lettered spare tire comes inside the trunk just in case there is a mishap on the road. With a quick tire change you can be on your way looking complete. Everywhere you drive this car people are attracted to this droptop like a magnet. You must be prepared to be the spectacle of the neighborhood. These cars are getting harder and harder to come across. We tried to replace all of the factory decals to make this car appear as it would have looked the day it rolled out of the factory onto the showroom floor as a 442 convertible. Take advantage of this chance to finally own your dream car. Dream Girl not included! It is a fact that a 1970 442 convertible sold at Barrett-Jackson in the spring of 2009 in West Palm Beach Florida for $173,250. We're not trying to insinuate that this car is anything like a Barrett-Jackson museum piece by any stretch of the imagination. Although, We both agree that this investment will continue to rise as these cars have been known to consistently appreciate in value. Why pay those inflated prices when you can own the same looking car for quarters on the dollar?? No one will know that this car is not authentic except the new owner and us. We're not telling anyone! This is a prime opportunity to own a piece of muscle car history at a fraction of that price. A great deal of time, money, and effort went into making the car you see listed in this description.

We both personally feel this car looks in much better than what Nada describes a 1970 442 convertible in average condition, but then that is our personal opinion.

We tried to describe all of the pertinent information, so any potential bidder can make the most informed decision possible before placing their bid.
