Whats special about it? Looked up their site but could not find it.

Diego

It's not on their website, from what I could tell.

But look at the tranny.

oldcutlass

Ooooh a ratchet shift on the floor. Wonder if its a 3 or 4 spd?

Dave Siltman

350, stick, P/S, P/B, no radio on a Cutlass platform. It is a little weird---wonder what the story is with it. Are you in Scottsdale, Diego?

rocketraider

A barebones Holiday Sedan, floorshift, QV 350 and built 12D- week after Christmas shutdown. Owning a 12C Toronado that had a LOT of "weirdness" might also explain this car.

Would almost have to have been special ordered by someone with a trailer.

Diego

It's a 4-speed and, no, I'm not in Scottsdale.

dnmfranco

wow, that is a neat car
would love that

davebw31

Those 4 dr. hardtop A body were a b***h to align the windows to eliminate water leaks and wind noise! Warranty for adjusting the windows for those body styles was out of sight in labor hours. If you adjust one the other on the same side had to be done. It wasn't uncommon for a dealer to submit warranty claims for adjusting all 4 windows and the car hasn't even been sold yet.




That car has got to be a customer ordered car.

Dave Siltman

At the risk of sounding "unsportsmanlike", that would be a great car to buy for parts. Probably is an anti-spin and has F41. Any chance of a look at the speedo.? Law enforcement order? Neat dash, booster looks real good, too.

Diego

I don't think Cutlass Supremes would be cop cars - just a factory freak. I bet they made 10-40 of 'em.

junior supercar

why does that car look familiar? I swear we've talked about it on here before

tis an oddball though

Diego

We have?

69442murph

Dean - I agree with you. That would be a fun car....and I would add ram air system for the ultimate sleeper!

Diego

I wouldn't do a thing to it.

66-3X2 442

Neat car especially with the radio delete option.

oldcutlass

dnmfranco

I know

allyolds68

Rare and undesirable. It's right up there with that column shift Cutlass Supreme that was for sale forever in RI

Diego

4-speed is much different proposition than column-shift.

I prob would rather own this Cutlass Supreme over an auto 4-4-2 400/325.

Boldsmobile

And a tranny. Too bad its not a rag top too.

joe_padavano

I've just never been a fan of the four door roofline on the 68-72 cars.

oldcutlass

It's such an oddball car, I'd be curious as to what it will sell for.

droldsmorland

Forgive my ignorance but isn't the positive cable supposed to be runnin along the valve cover and then dropping down the tube at the back of the head or was that reserved for BB 4 speeds only?

allyolds68

Only the 400 4 speed (I cheated and looked at the assembly manual)

Eddie Hansen

Huh.... man thats weird my car had (has) the tube for the battery cable? It was a350 2 bbl 4 speed car plusba lot of other odd ball things for a cutlass s convertible..

I am sure I missed it but isthe 4 speed documented?

Diego

I am not there so I can't say, but I heard it sold for $11k.

dnmfranco

all 350's in 68/69 had the cable tube
what is different among the years and engine sizes is where the positive cable ran.


69 small block run along fender well

Fun71

Bench seat and it looks like a front drum master cylinder. I would pass.

oldcutlass

At $11k it would be hard to use it as donor for a 2 door build.

Diego

I'd do everything within my power to keep this car as-is - a pox upon anyone to use this as a donor for anything!

dnmfranco

Totally agree
Give me that car,I'll drive it as is till the tires fall off

rocketraider

I'm hearing too much "it's a four-door and it's not really what I like so all it's good for is parting it for a 2-door build". Looks like a whole lot of fun and distinction for cheap money to me.

Y'all never cease to amaze me. A nice car is a nice car no matter it's brand, body style or equipment and four-speed is icing on the cake with this one.

droldsmorland

Thanks Dean,
So to recap:
1. 68-69 Cutlass small block cars got the positive cable routed along the drivers wheel well and then through the horizontal tube regardless of the transmission configuration.

2. 68-69 BB 400, 442 had the distinction of the pos cable either routed along the drivers side wheel well through the horizontal tube for TH400s. Or along the intake side of the drivers side valve cover feeding through a vertical tube attached the the rear of the drivers side head.

Koda

People are allowed to think what they want, even here. I would not part it out, but I wouldn't buy it, either.

Diego

Yet my Virginia compatriot shares the proper sentiment, IMHO.

TK-65

My father in law had a stick shift Aerostar van when my wife was a kid. This car reminds me of that van, interesting but nothing Id drive let alone own.

joe_padavano

Wait! WHAT?

The Aerostar isn't THAT old... I mean it was produced, uh, oh... 1986-1997.

Well, to ME it's still a NEW car, especially since I was already on my second wife in that period...

TK-65

I guess Im younger than you thought!

allyolds68

And if it wasn't confusing enough a 400 SMT A/C is slightly different than non-A/C:
