Lot #355.1 1977 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS SUPREME

Nice. https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Even...SUPREME-272523
Original MSRP was around 5000.00 , Inflation adjusted its 25,000. Basically a brand new 47 year old car. It will be interesting to see how close it gets to its corrected price ...
P.S. description box info is a little wonky... Its says 6 cylinder 5 speed automatic. So I am assuming they mean 5 speed manual. But according to Automobile Catalog, the 6 cylinder came 3 speed manual or 3 speed automatic. The 260 V8 version came with the 5 speed...

How strange with a v6.... Maybe original owner bought it and after driving raised a fuss and turned back in??? My Mom bought a brand new 78 Omega with the 3.8. Drove like crap a real POS! That's when we learned to always take a car for a test drive- even if it's brand new! She did keep it after a mechanic made some unauthorized modifications and made it drive better.

You could get out and walk faster. There are decent mid 70's Cutlass, go for 2 to 3K here. There is a decent 75 442 for $2500. Has gone down in price, still hasn't sold. These representatives of the worst times in cars will never have value.

x2, this car is a wheezer. The slowest of the slow with that 6 banger in there. I had a 6 cylinder in a 1979 Cutlass once and that car was considerably lighter than a 1977. Man, I thought the 260 v-8 was anemic, that V-6 was model T slow. Getting on a hwy was hell.

Sold, $29,700.
True, for it to be an ideal driver. Monthly miles throughout its lifetime is key. Along with the maintenance that comes with it.
Surprises me how a big deal like B-J who you would think are car experts have the details so screwed up ... 4.3 v6 didn't even exist then.
4000 lbs and 100 hp ... Malaise on steroids.

My memories of that era Oldsmobile (and likely all GM vehicles) was drooping headliner, crumbling plastic (arm rests and shoulder belt guides mostly), and peeling hood paint. And that was when they were 10 or so years old.

I don’t remember the 73-77 cars suffering from rusted bumpers.
Around here it seemed every 78-80 Olds had a 2x6 as a bumper.

Yeah, they rust. I bought a 75 Cutlass 20 years back for $50. Had 121,000 miles, good Olds 350 with mud cooling, fried TH350, good body and interior except a hole in the vinyl top and the rear bumper was rotten.
