Now, here's one fine mid-'60s cruiser! Effortlessly cool and sporting generous proportions that will beckon future passengers to join you on your future outings, this 1966 Oldsmobile Cutlass Convertible was refreshed in its original Burgundy Mist color a while back and still retains a level of factory-correctness throughout that's truly hard to come by. The paint itself is in good shape, sporting a deep shine, and is draped over nicely aligned body panels that remain in outstanding condition, showing no worrisome dings or dents to detract from this classic's curb appeal. Just look at how straight and even the chrome trim is as it runs the entire body length of the sides.
The black vinyl interior is downright impressive, showing only minor wear even on the higher traffic touchpoints, and due to Olds's substantial dimensions, it offers plenty of legroom both fore and aft. The Cutlasses of this era featured distinctively broad instrument dash areas, and this one sports a collection of factory gauges that are still functional and easily readable through their clear lenses. You'll still find the original AM radio onboard, joined by an aftermarket AM/FM stereo with an auxiliary port to expand your range of audio options. You'll likely picture yourself at the wheel of this classic in its open-air configuration, but should the skies threaten while you're on the road, the vinyl convertible top is in very good condition and even sports a nice, clear rear window.
This ultra-sharp convertible sports period-correct power in the form of a 330-cubic-inch V8 that's fed by a Rochester Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor still perched on a factory intake manifold. The engine pairs with a 2-speed Jetaway automatic transmission to form a solid drivetrain that makes for a great driving experience. Power steering makes for easy navigation, while power brakes that position discs up front offer fade-resistant, low-effort stopping ability. And, since there are chambered mufflers at the ends of the featured dual exhaust, you and your passengers will be able to converse without being interrupted by excessive engine noise.
