This car and the seller's freaky mannequin have been discussed here before. At least a year ago. Looks like a decent driver from the pictures. I am not a big fan of a fully cloned car honestly. I don't hate them but unknowing people get screwed down the road on clones.

The Cutlass Supreme VIN should be clear to people down the road that this car is a clone. The one the untrained eye might miss, is the small block motor painted 455 blue.

The stance is a little high, but to me that looks better than the slammed look. I don’t understand why having a car sit so low it drags on speed bumps, can’t go over curbs, or rides do rough you feel every crack in the road is attractive.

Go thru all that then leave the 350 in still. Why??

Slight exaggerated statement's here. No way in hell is a cloned Cutlass worth anywhere near these prices. Then compare this car to the true 442's that will be run thru the auction house. Runs and drives just as well. Yeah ok.

Nada has the average condition value at $174,300 which they consider in good overall condition that could be an older restoration or a well maintained original vehicle that is completely operable. The exterior paint, trim, and mechanics are presentable and serviceable inside and out. They say an average condition car is considered a 20-Footer! They have the lowest condition valued at $125,700 being considered a deteriorated restoration or a very poor restoration, but mostly usable "As-Is!" The lowest value does not represent a parts car, but would be considered as the price for a car needing a complete restoration. The Nada numbers don't lie! This 1970 Convertible was just made to look like a W-30 Convertible, but only a keen eye would be able to recognize it is a recreation, and with all the valuable parts installed this is a very valuable classic. It would be very hard to find a classic muscle car of this magnitude without spending well over $60,000. I know the Mecum Auction will be live in Kissimmee Florida from January 10th-16th. There is another gentleman I know that will be selling several of his private collection of 442's that should all be selling well over the 100K range. This is a chance to get the same looking, steering, and driving convertible at a reasonable price. Isn't it time to treat yourself for being the Great Man you've been all year and what Santa forgot to leave you under the tree?

"Investment quality" is a phrase I loved. How much would Cubic Zirconia appreciate compared to a diamond ? Would an "artists copy" of Picasso or Renoir appreciate like the original item ? Fake is fake, no matter what cute buzzword you use.

No ****. Talk about money chasing description. That car is worth nothing even close to the numbers he that he pukes out. All that faking a 442 and it still has a 350. The only 442/Cutlass ragtop that COULD have a spoiler factory was a pace car. Please stop people.

Makes me wonder if that current seller bought from the original mannequin seller. Dealer's suck for the most part. I do not like that Oldsmobile has become the new clueless fool chaser. So many clueless fools jumping the Olds wagon these days.
