1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass SX Description

It's always amazing when you stumble across a classic car that has the American Muscle look that we are all so familiar with but as you do your homework you unveil a time in automotive history that is just simply forgotten. Point in case the two year only SX Oldsmobile Cutlass Supremes. In 1970 muscle car buyers were starting to feel the grip from not only rising gas prices but also insurance companies that were raising premiums and rates for owning a V8 gas guzzler. So the manufacturers of GM... decided to build a loop-hole into their cars by offering a SS Monte Carlo or Pontiac with an SJ option on their Grand Prix. Oldsmobile was no different and starting in 1970 they offered buyers a way to get the big 455 that was typically reserved for the 442 by creating a SX option on their Cutlass line. The program was short lived however and only 1970 and 1971 offered the SX option. This stunning black 1971 Cutlass Supreme SX is one of these rare cars. In 1970 7197 SXs left the factory. However in 1971 only 2177 SX's were produced. Of those 1827 built were the SX coupes. Which means only 357 SX convertibles were produced in 1971. This is one of the rare 357. Originally leaving the factory in Viking Blue. This SX received a full frame-off restoration in the late 2000s before being covered in a gorgeous black paint scheme with white stripes white interior and white top.
