New Page 1 For sale today is a true time capsule: an early 1 repaint. survivor. 1970 Cutlass Cruiser (flat top) Wagon. with just over 30. 00 original miles. Please grab a beverage and take some time to browse the 160+ photos and 7 YouTube videos of this terrific car. Whether you're a local enthusiast. or across the country. the attached description and information is intended to make you as comfortable with this purchase as possible. This gorgeous Cutlass wagon is equipped with an Olds 350-2 bbl Rocket. backed with a Turbo Hydramatic 350 transmission. While travelling to northern Wisconsin last summer. the wagon finally turned 30. 00 miles. Just 30. 00 miles in 45 years doesn't seem possible. but this car has been protected and dearly cared for over the last 5 decades. I purchased this phenomenal cruiser with just 25. 00 on the clock and it has been one of THE best running. driving cars I have ever owned. This Olds wagon was purchased new in May. 1970 by Les Connor from Frink Olds-Chevy in Ashland. Oregon. Les was in his '60s when he purchased the wagon and as he grew older. the car changed hands. At one point. it resided in Texas. but found a longer term owner in Ohio. which is how I found it. I've actually owned this wagon twice. I regrettably sold it one time many years ago. but fortunately had a chance to buy it back for a 2nd time about 3 years ago. It's one of those vehicles that just grabs you once you drive it. Only other restoration projects bring the opportunity for a new owner. Our family has enjoyed this Olds wagon immensely. This is the vehicle we take on a 4 hour trip to northern Wisconsin each summer and it cruises at 70-75 mph without a hiccup. One look underneath this beautiful car tells the story of where it has been and the pampered life it has led. Please remember that these wagons were purchased like we buy mini-vans today. Kids spilled and threw up in these wagons all the time and they were used as baseball backstops in the driveway. Somehow. this Cutlass wagon has emerged unscathed. nbsp; with just over 30. 00 miles on the clock. This is one of the most solid. untouched cars you will find. Original runs and overspray of its original Aspen Green color adorn the undercarriage . The factory "blackout" treatment used in some assembly plants on the front suspension parts can still be seen on the oil pan. There is still the green dip that the e-brake hangers were coated with to prevent rattling on the floor. Also note in the photos that the body mounts still have their factory stripes and color to them. When is the last time you saw that?! The doors shut with the slightest touch. and all the weather stripping is there and soft. There is no evidence or rot or scale anywhere on this car top to bottom. A survivor in nearly every aspect. the Olds wagon has had one early enamel repaint in its original Aspen Green color. The paint still shows very well. with a few nicks. scratches. and a few high spot thin spots that can be expected from a nearly all original. survivor car. The enamel paint has a factory look to it. though. and some "modeling" that's seen in so many factory metallic paint cars is evident on this wagon too. The interior has survived over the years to an almost unbelievable condition. It looks as if it never made a trip to the lumber yard. let alone ever hauled any kids to little league practice. I added a arm rest front seat and had the original pattern matched. I do still have the original seat which has a split seam that just happened last season. Please note in the photos how nice all of the interior hardware is. Even the factory fastener screws have their plastic washers intact! The A/C was converted years back to 134 and works fine. The car has a posi rear of unknown ratio and a W-27 cover. The exhaust is a nice set of duals. which have a nice mellow tone and exit on the sides. I added the NOS wheel covers and double line whitewalls for the straight out of the brochure look (note the brochure photo in the pictures. ) Restored (blasted and painted) rally wheels are under the hubcaps if the new owner ever decides to go with that look on the car. The manual rear window and 2 way tailgate operates perfectly. Car has the light group. disc brakes and a hood lock. This is a fly in. drive home car as that is what I did when I bought it back several years ago. We have enjoyed it immensely. take it on regular family vacations and literally load it up with cargo without hesitation. Simply put. this is a car you can get in. drive. and enjoy. No excuses. no long stories. just a rare. sharp car that you can enjoy in good weather. If you don't mind the attention and family stories recollecting the family wagon days anywhere in public than this is the car to have. Thank you for looking and please keep in touch if there are any questions.
