Priced way too high - but I admit I like it. 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme SKU:C0651 - cars & trucks - by... (craigslist.org)
I agree on both points, very nice looker, I actually prefer the lower Model S, with its fastback roof over the Supreme model. And yeah its probable a $20-25,000 car in todays market. That is the top IMO.
'73 was always my favorite of the '73-'77 model run. The still somewhat minimal front bumper and smoother flowing rear bumper gave way to the boxy, jutting out bumpers of '74.
That thing has Hurst hatches - which technically wasn't available in '73. I had hatches on my '79 Monte. But, boy that price - even with all the work done to it, I need some smelling salts!
Wow! I don't doubt that that kind of $$$ was spent on the conversion, but that is a whole lot of $$$ for a 73-77 GM A-Body! I also do not believe the Hurst T-Tops were available until around 1975. And I don't car for the T-Top Vinyl roof look. In fact I almost hate it. IMO it was a sin to molest an 18,000 mile car into a resto mod. Plenty of high mileage cars to do that to. As for the Swivel buckets I think they were available 73-77 but I know they were available until at least the 76 model year as I was the 2nd owner of a 76 442 that had the mighty 260 V8 - 5-speed manual trans & swivel bucket seats. I grenaded the BW-T50 transmission within 2 weeks, replaced it with a BW T-10 out of a junk Trans Am I had, then procceded to do the same with the the little V8 within a few weeks. Then sold the car off to a friend that put a 455 into it. It was then a nice but rusty ride for a few years. I have trouble seeing anyone paying 1/2 the asking price for this car, but I have been shocked before! It probably is a nice drive with the LS3 & 6-speed OD transmission though. And probably gets 25+ MPG highway. But no mention of the rear gear ratio, if it still has the stock 2.73 or so gears most of these came with. I wonder how useful 6th gear is under 100 MPH?
So.....it's not selling, so let's UP the price. 1973 Oldsmobile Resto-Mod LS3 SKU:C0651 - cars & trucks - by dealer... (craigslist.org)
I see the Meth hasn't worn off yet. I have no idea who would pay $30,000 for that car, let alone almost 4X that much. It looks like it was a nice original base model Cutlass before it was "Improved" . And as previously stated the Hurst T-Tops are not Factory. But at least it looks like the kept the A/C working on it.
They must be set on that price. They turned down my offer of $104k. They countered at $116. Oh well. Guess I’ll have the money for a new Tesla. Besides I bet with the “Factory equipped” T-Tops off it would be kinda windy at 150 mph. Thank God it wouldn’t muss my hair.
