1969 Olds Cutlass S Convertible project car I bought this car a couple years ago as a project for the winter, changed jobs and didn't have as much time for projects as I thought! My loss of time is your gain for a sound project car. 800x600 1969 Cutlass S Convertible 350 4 Barrel V-8 Dual Exhaust 400 Turbo 3-speed transmission Air Conditioning Power Steering Power Brakes Console Shifter Bucket Seats This car originally came out of Arizona, went to Missouri for a few years then came to Texas. I was told the car is all original with matching numbers, I have no reason to dispute that but have never checked. Story has it, a lady bought it in Az and was restoring it when she decided to move to Mo. She picked the car up from the body place and left all the trim that they'd taken off for the paint job. Don't know if that's true or not, but the wheel well trim and side trim is all gone. The Body: The car obviously spent a lot of time in the sun with the top down, as you can see the entire interior needs to be replaced and or covered. The top may be able to be repaired, I don't know but there are a few pretty good sized tears in it. I believe the hydraulic lift equipment has been removed, I've never explored to see if the stuff is all there but do know that your have to lift the roof by hand. The side window tracks and panes all seem to be in place, but you'll need to tear down the doors and adjust/remount things to get them tracking correctly. The dash is cracked, but I'm not seeing any rust around the windshield. I fact, the only real rust spots I can find are behind the rear wheels. I took a brush grinder to the drivers side and opened it up to see how bad it was, I think a good body man can patch it pretty easily, but if not, they do sell panels for these cars now. I don't think the other side will be near as bad, I took a pic of the rust spot and it is no where close to what the other side looked like before I started. The bumpers both need to be straightened and there are a few other little bumps and dings that need to be fixed before painting, but nothing really major. Mechanics: Mechanically the car is pretty solid, I've noticed very few things that I've wanted to change. It always starts right up, it may need a little shot of carb cleaner if it's been sitting a while, but otherwise runs pretty solid. I pull it out of the barn every few weeks and cruise around the neighborhood just to keep everything lubed up. It sounds great with the old duals and 4 bbl carb, the only thing that separates it from a 442 is the automatic transmission, which shifts great by the way. Power brakes and power steering both work fine. I don't know for sure, but I was told it had 103,000+ miles on it when I bought it, over the last few years I've putted around and it's now showing 104 plus change. So the odometer seems to work as well as the spedo. Again, I have no reason to doubt the 100K number, but can't guarantee it's not 200k. I'd planned on putting disc brakes and 15" wheels and tires on it, doing a little body work, replacing the interior and having it painted. That's about all I can see to get her road ready and have a neat little weekend cruiser. Someone more ambitious than me could have a pretty nice show car with a little more time and money. I have the origional Mo title in hand and will throw in the '69 Fisher Body Service manual and '69 Olds Chassis Service manuals. Like I said, this is a solid base to begin your project with, I looked a long time before I pulled the trigger on one, just wish I had the time to finish what I started!

There were a couple emails about whether it has a power top or not...It use to. I pulled the cover plates and the hydraulic rams are in place but they're disconnected and the hoses have been cut. The pump and motor have been removed, along with the dash switch, the wiring is still there where it use to connect to the motor.

On Oct-31-14 at 14:36:44 PDT, seller added the following information: I screwed up last time I tried this...hopefully I won't post the whole ad a THIRD time! To answer a couple of other questions I've gotten. The car USE to have an auto top, the rams are still in place but have been taken loose from the hinges. The hoses have been cut to them and the dash switch, pump and motor have been removed. the wiring appears to still be in place though. The AC seems to all be there, but doesn't work. I took some picks earlier and the intake casting is the correct number (398663) for a 69 Olds...so at least it's an Olds engine, haven't dug deeper to see if it's THE Olds engine. No air shocks, the car just looks like it's sitting higher due to the 14" wheels. Frame looks fine on the top, just a couple of tears on the canvas. Trunk pan looks good, about the only rust I see in there are the holes in the fender where I opened it up. There, hope I've answered all the questions I've been getting. This is the first item I've ever sold on here and hopefully I'll get better!
