Its no secret that I love blue cars, so I may be a little biased here, but this 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass is a beautiful shade of blue that does nothing but good for it. With a price of $6,000 and a believable 32,684 miles, I am at a complete loss for why this car has yet to sell. Though it may not be desirable like an older Cutlass, and it isn’t exactly a performance car, there is no denying that this car is in fantastic condition and would be endlessly enjoyable in the right hands. A far leap from a derby car, this mint condition Cutlass can be found here on eBay in Connecticut.
What awful shape this interior is in! Awfully good, that is. After scouring the photos in the listing, the only defect I can find in the entire interior is visible plainly in this photo: loose dirt on the floor mat. Did I mention I like blue cars? I have to say, blue paint with a blue interior gets me every time. Although this car isn’t exactly top of the line, the light blue interior gives it a weird feel of both luxury and economy. This car has clearly seen little use and lots of care during its life, and with a little cleaning this would be a show worthy car. I wouldn’t be able to help myself, I would drive this car every chance I got!
I was fully expecting a 305 to be lurking under the hood, but I was pleasantly surprised to learn that this car is equipped with a 350. Far from a fast car, with the 350 this car likely leaves little to be desired by the average driver. I think that this car would be the perfect weekend cruiser, cruise-in, and car show vehicle. Smiles per dollar are likely very high, as this beautiful car can be had for the average cost of most used newer cars. Some touch up paint under the hood would do her good, especially on the breather, but I’m not sure I would mess with it. The condition of this car, especially being a northern vehicle is truly impressive.
Though this car isn’t for everyone, it is for many! Though it isn’t an older 442, and it was made after 1972, younger folks looking to get into older cars dream of finding something as well-kept and affordable as this. To the right young enthusiast, this could be the perfect purchase. The seller states it “runs, rides and handles like new and looks very presentable.” I think it will bring the money, it is just a matter of the right buyer! Would you drive it, show it, or both?
