Low Mileage 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

The height of the GM A-bodies was in 1970, before federal safety and emissions requirements really started to chip away at looks and performance. The Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme is a classic car that, pretty much throughout its entire generational run, I have always admired and would love to have parked in my garage one day. If you agree, this 1970 Cutlass Supreme located in Wayne, New Jersey, is available here on Facebook Marketplace for $18,000. Special thanks to reader Zen for the tip!

The exterior of this 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, noted for its distinctive formal notchback roofline, is finished in a gold hue that appears to be the factory-named Galleon Gold Poly, along with a black vinyl roof. From the limited photos, the body of the Cutlass appears to be in very good condition, with no visible dents, rust, or rot.  The Cutlass is equipped with Firehawk SS Firestone tires on aftermarket chrome-accented wheels.

The Cutlass Supreme was known for its luxurious interior, and this example for sale is featured in Burnished Saddle with a split bench seat. It has an aftermarket radio in the simulated wood-grain dash (hopefully not cut) and a seat cover over the front bench, which may be hiding wear or damage to the vinyl.

The standard engine offered to buyers of the 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme was the 350 cu-in V8, which is what the seller’s car has. The ad description doesn’t mention whether this engine is paired with the 2-bbl or 4-bbl carburetor, which means the difference between 250 and 310 hp. A plus is that the seller reports this Cutlass Supreme has 44,337 miles, so hopefully there’s plenty of life left in the engine.

This 1970 Cutlass Supreme has been listed for sale for 20 weeks and was originally offered at $35,000, so the large price drop to $18,000 may signal that the seller is now more motivated to sell. From the photos, it seems the Cutlass seems to be in very good condition due to being kept garaged and covered with a tarp, though additional photos of the entire car, inside and out, would help interested buyers. The seller notes that they are the second owner and that all the original paperwork for the Cutlass is included. Would any of you readers consider adding this classic Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme to your garage?
