Sold 1971 Olds Cutlass Supreme Convertible

[Too Many Projects]

In your other thread, you were told the NJ DMV did an inspection and the odometer read 147K. Unless the owner, at the time, indicated it had turned over, the odometer has 5 digits, not 6 and would not have a space for the 1. The condition that car is in makes me doubt the 196K mileage and am willing to believe it is actually 96K.
I agree with Bill, you have a very reasonable price for it's condition.

Yeah, it was an interesting interaction at the DMV, She obviously was looking directly at confidential info on her computer that had a name, date, address, and title info (but she couldn't give it to me under the privacy laws).

Anyway, the very first people that came by this morning have put a deposit on the car, at the asking price. They're a great couple from the next town over, so we may continue to see it happily cruising around the area.

----Great, Stve! I knew it would go quick, and with the stuff you did the new owners will have a great cruiser....Bill S

I appreciate all the great input from you guys.

I also sold my son's 2011 Toxic Orange Challenger R/T 6-speed yesterday (he wants to find a 5th Gen Camaro SS 6-speed to replace it).

So I guess I'm on a roll, selling orange cars at the moment. Must be my lucky, 1971 vintage, orange, used-car-salesman, bell bottom, corduroys!

Congrats on the sale. As Bill said, all it was going to take is the right people to know what they were looking at and it seems the first couple did...
I hope the rest of the in-laws appreciate what all you did to make the car so presentable.
The Orange corduroy pants are bright, but I'd take them over the 60's/70's wild striped ones behind them....
Congrats on selling your Son's car too. Now you get to help him pick out a nice Camaro.

Those are my Dad's pants from the early 1970's They certainly won't fit me but they would fit my son with his frikken 6% body fat. (Yeah, I'm jealous). Hey, I should make him wear those pants when we go look at a the next Camaro. Just for punishment.

BTW, Anyone know of any decent unmolested 5th gen stick cars around?

That's a real early car, built in August 70. Do you have a picture of the trim tag?
Interesting that they would downgrade the engine in the Deluxe package. That defeats the whole point of a package...

[njsteve]

Here's the trim tag: 08C build date. I hadn't thought about it but I guess it is the 191st car built for 1971.

If it is the 191st car off that line, it may well have been built the first day...
