hi all, new to oldsmobiles and im about to purchase a near mint grandma driven 71 cutlass it has been sitting for 3 years and has been garaged all of its life i believe it has under 50,000 miles its been awhile since i saw the odometer. there is grill damage but all of the sheet metal is intact this car has no rust and the interior is immaculate it has buckets and centerconsole it has a red exterior with black leather interior what is this car worth ? thanks in advance , tom

Worth is always what a person will pay and how bad the sell wants to unload. The interior in a 71 will be vinyl from the factory and not leather. A low mileage 71 Cutlass with a solid body, decent paint, trim, bumpers, and mechanicals could bring 5 G's maybe more if close to mint......Just my opinion.

What body style is it, S or Supreme? If the car is as nice as you describe and those are original miles, it could get up to 8 or 9 grand out here on the west coast. Would like to see pix when you get the car! Chumley
