UPDATE – We’ve made a correction to the article. The VIN shows that this car’s 307 is not the high-output model, but is actually the base engine that produces just 140 horsepower. Thanks to JH for pointing this out!

Over the past few years, the G-Body series of GM products has really grown on me. It feels just like yesterday that examples just like this 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass were just used cars that littered the back of almost every dealership, but as time has marched on, cars like this have slowly disappeared. And now that you really don’t see them very often, I’ve come to realize just how cool they actually are! This example has the added bonus of being in really nice condition throughout and the seller believes it’s very original. You can find it here on eBay in Mansfield, Ohio with an opening bid price of $10,000.

So, admittedly, I can’t say for sure that this example is worth $10k+. If it were a Buick Grand National, then it would easily be worth that and then some, but the standard Oldsmobile version with all its comfy velour has a hard time fetching the big money, although their values do seem to be trending upwards. Honestly, I’m alright if these stay affordable. There needs to be some interesting classics that aren’t high dollar and this seems like a great entry into the hobby. It’s new enough to have the kind of comforts most of us have grown accustomed to, but still simple enough that anyone can wrench on it. The 307 V8 won’t be winning any races, with its 180 140 ponies, but again that’s alright. Not every classic needs to be doing burnouts at the dragstrip.

While the exterior styling of the G-Body cars has really grown on me, the interior of this Olds is what really stands out to me. The cloth-covered seats look to be in great shape and are surely as comfortable as any couch. You won’t find any modern cars with an interior quite like this! I also doubt you can find too many new cars with manual windows, it seems like even the cheapest cars have power windows these days. Given that this car has A/C, I doubt you’ll be winding the windows up and down much.

The seller believes that this car is all original, although they do note that the car supposedly had some body damage prior to them purchasing it. They haven’t been able to find any signs of that being the case. A closer inspection might be in order. Overall, it looks to be in Supreme condition inside and out, so I could definitely believe that this car is a survivor. So, are you a G-Body fan? If so, this one might just be worth a closer look!
