Still rocking its original engine and decked out in striking Saturn Gold paint that's almost certainly been with it from the start, this 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme is one fine looking classic muscle car. Its surprisingly fresh look no doubt took a considerable amount of consistent care, but the fact that this cruiser has, from all outward signs, also logged an incredibly low 56,371 miles during its lengthy lifespan certainly helps. Not only has that high-impact factory paint held up unusually well, but the vinyl top, so often an Achilles' heel that's especially vulnerable to both SUV exposure and the other elements, still presents nicely. The body alignment on this vintage Olds is still consistent, as well, with even gaps throughout and doors that open and close with no issues.
Inside, even under close inspection you'll only find minimal wear on the black vinyl surfaces of the seating, and both the front and rear benches feel unusually pliable for their age. The overall functionality inside these doors is beyond impressive. The factory air conditioning blows strong and cold, although it should be upgraded to modern refrigerant by its next owner. The gauges are both functional and easily readable behind their clear lenses, and all the buttons and control knobs on the dash are securely in place. Even the original clock and AM/FM radio both function as intended. How rare is that?
Well over a half century after its years of service began, this Cutlass remains a great running and driving classic. Fed by a factory-correct Rochester Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor, it's original 350-cubic-inch V8 fires right up and idles smoothly as it sits in a nicely sorted compartment, crowned with an Oldsmobile Rocket 350-branded air cleaner, still wearing its original intake manifold and valve covers and surrounded by fresh hoses and properly routed wiring. The accompanying three-speed automatic TH350 shifts out nicely, with no slippage to make for a smooth experience behind the wheel. Power steering makes this substantial ride easy to navigate, while its power brakes that position discs up front feel reassuringly solid.
