1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible on 2040-cars

This 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible was purchased by its original owner at Jim Letts Oldsmobile on Peachtree St in Atlanta GA in 1969 it then spent the next 44 years in Buford GA in the same family until it was sold to me by the original owners  grandson

About the hunt ……

I spent over a year searching for a 1969 Cutlass convertible. I past on at least  half a dozen cars before my friend who lives in Atlanta, saw this car in the owners garage and stopped to inquire for me.  It wasn’t for sale at the time.

After speaking to the owner’s family for months trying to get them to sell me this car. I discovered that this car was maintained from new by the same mechanic… yes this mechanic started  working on this car when he was 18 years old and continued servicing it  for the next 40 plus years,  turns out he went from shop gofer to owner in that time span.. I spoke to him before purchase and he confirmed everything the owners claimed.

What that really attracted me to this particular one?

The best way to describe this car is as an Original Honest Southern car.  It is unmolested in every way, no one has modified it or changed it, just preserved it for years of trouble free enjoyment.

I have original owners manual and warranty card.

Features

 350 Rocket  Engine Quadrajet 4bbl Carburetor.

A/C car blows cold

Bucket seats and column shift.. Interior is a time capsule..  all original upholstery, minimal wear.

Original GM deluxe seat belts

I added a reproduction GM Deluxe seat belt in back to safely secure a child seat for cruise nights. I have original belt

Car was repainted in its original Glade Green factory color in mid 80’s from what original owners family recalls,  It is showing its age

 Power top was leaking from the pistons when I got it, so I pulled the top cylinder bolts which allow the top to raise and lower manually.

The top material is pulling away from the seams by the door frames, probably can be sewn at an upholstery/top shop

4 wheel well moldings not installed but included in sale

Even though this is a southern car it does have surface rust in the lower corners.  Trunk is rock solid, as is trunk drop downs, floors super solid.

I replaced the 215/75/14 tires and original hubcaps that were on the car at purchase  with a  set of SSII (14x6) wheels which I had soda blasted and painted in the correct Argent Grey color  and 4 new 225/70/14 Cooper Cobra radials, they have less than 200 miles on them.  Both sets of wheels and tires go with the car.

I recently have had a full tune up, all new seals and gaskets installed, engine cleaned and detailed. I added the 442 grilles, replaced the old dull T3 Headlights with 4 new sealed bulbs

New Bosch battery with 3 year warranty installed March ‘14

brakes serviced, with new shoes and cylinders. Brake flush, wheel alignment

New gas shocks

Lifetime warranty form Mavis Tire on all work.

Overall this is a truly amazing preserved original southern car, one that you can get in and drive anywhere, and if one chooses down the road give it the full restoration it deserves.

Car is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end auction early.

I will assist buyer with shipping.

I require $1000 deposit made by paypal within 24hrs of auction end, transaction must be completed within 3 days.

New York State does not issue titles for cars prior to 1973, so the car will be sold on a bill of sale and signed registration card.
