1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme "triple white" 442 Convertible There is new information throughout this entire description, so please read carefully before you place your bids. Thank You! It saddens me to have to re-list this car under these circumstances, but if you have read this auction before, please re-read it for the updated information. I recently sold this car to a gentleman in Canada. He was extremely happy that he finally won his dream car at a reasonable price. I'm a 442 guy partnered with a gentleman who is vice president of a US Bank location in Missouri, because he always viewed my prior auctions, and saw how I pay attention to detail more that 95% of the sellers on eBay. Both of our names are on this title. The previous buyer was a little skeptical because he saw the username out of Missouri, and the car in Kenosha. After he was explained the whole situation, he knew everything was legitimate, and we forwarded a copy of the front and the back of the title to him. He was going to make the deposit, and follow through with his purchase in the morning until according to his wife, he passed of a heart attack last night. Under these circumstances we have no other choice other than to run a re-list. We both agreed we are not the type of people to pursue any type of legal action, especially under a situation such as this. Please say some prayers for the reprise of Darryl's soul. At least he went out knowing he was going to finally acquire his first cool car. 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. 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 to verify this cars previous existence will be given to the winner of this auction. 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. The chrome is all in nice drivers quality condition or better. We believe the front bumper to be actually brand new. This 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 with 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 new top should last for many years to come. Don't worry! The photo's in this auction were shot on two separate days. The first set was shot last week, and the top down pictures were shot last week. The top was put down inside our heated shop, and then put back up after the top came back to room temperature. That was the only option to avoid cracking the nice material. There will be plenty of time for the new owner 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 very solid, and relatively new that 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. This Olds has a four core radiator for maximum cooling, and the condensor is still even in place in front of the radiator. This car starts right up every time, and drives down the road wonderfully, and the turbo 350 transmission shifts very smooth. A new set of AC Delco spark plugs were just replaced, along with a new distributor cap and rotor. The negative battery terminal cable was changed, and both terminal connections for the newer battery. 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. Brand new Mondello springs were just installed the night prior to the top down pictures to make this Olds sit up proud to look 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 to resemble the way a real 442 convertible would have looked back in 1970. Take advantage of this chance to finally own your dream car. Earlier today a 1970 Blue 442 Custom convertible sold at Barrett-Jackson for $165,000. Lot number 1006, and another 1970 red 442 convertible with black hood stripes, and no side stripes, with white interior sold for $68,200 on lot number 1035 that anyone can check on the BJ website. 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. What you see is exactly what you get! Plain and simple! This car drives as nice as it looks, and barely has any rattles like these convertibles typically have being 43 years old. The Kentucky climate always kept these cars in much better condition than your average car. The Nada Classic Car Price Guide has the current values that anyone can check on-line for a genuine 1970 442 convertible listed at $54,625 in the highest condition, $29,325 in average condition, and $16,732 in the lowest condition. We both personally feel this car looks in much better than what Nada describes a 1970 Cutlass Supreme convertible in average condition, but then this car was upgraded with all of the awesome 442 options that you see in the pictures. You can be the judge of what you are willing to pay. In the previous auction we were even approached by the R.E. Olds Museum to use this car for an upcoming raffle. They offered $15,000, and a $7,000 tax credit, bringing their offer to $23,000. We definitely need the cash payment to square up evenly, so we had to take a pass. We both feel this car would bring in the neighborhood of the mid $35,000 range rather easily in a couple months in the springtime, but we have other projects in line, so this car will sell on Monday. If you take a look at all the other 1970-72 Cutlass and 442 auctions currently on eBay or any other website for that matter, you will certainly see that stripes are missing, applied wrong, or crooked. Plus people seem to always want so much extra for cars that are missing all kinds of little odds and ends. Our goal is always to make the buyer happy. Sure these are all 40 year old plus cars, but we take the time and consideration to pay attention to all the little details that are typically missing. If this car was requested by the prestigious Olds museum, that should show a true enthusiast when things are done the right way. We had many bidders in the past auction requesting undercarriage shots, so we've added several pictures to show how the underside of a kentucky car really is. One buyer wanted us to paint the entire undercarriage in Satin Black. When I went to take some of those pictures I had started to detail the frame, but ran short of Satin black. If the winning bidder would like the undercarriage completed in Satin black, that can be arranged at a small additional price as was offered to that prior bidders request. We tried to describe all of the pertinent information, so any potential bidder can make the most informed decision possible before placing their bid. If there is anything else you feel we may have missed, please ask us any question you like. Each of us pride ourselves in answering every question in explicit detail with the utmost honesty. Please have all of your funds in order prior to placing your bids. The deposit needs to be paid within 24 hours through PayPal, and the balance within 72 hours. Unlike live in person auctions where you have to pay the same day. This is a quick 3-day "No Reserve" auction, and will sell to the highest bidder at 8pm Eastern time, 7pm Central time, or 5pm Pacific time on Monday evening January 21st, 2013. When was the last time you actually saw a triple white 1970 with gold stripes? This could be the dream car you have been waiting for! Once again please say some prayers for the prior winning bidder named Darryl from Canada. Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!
