This is a rare opportunity for you to obtain an"EXTREMEMLY ORIGINAL" HEAVILY OPTIONED1976 455 Big Block Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon in a very desirable color combination of code 19 19U Ebony Black with a beautiful code 74G Carmine (Mahogany) interior.This automobile appears to still retain all of it's original factory applied paintwith absolutely NO evidence of rust deterioration anywhere due to the auto being ziebart rust proofed early on as clearly evidenced by the images presented by the yellow plugs in the door jambs, doors, rockers, etc., plus multiple spray areas all over the car including the trunk, inside quarters, underside fenders, etc., etc..The original lacquer paint still presents well for being literally "40" years old however it does have "multiple" areas of crows-feet, some staining, rock chips on the lower front fenders, rockers, and lower doors, etc.. It would simply be sacrilegious to repaint this well preserved piece of automotive history.The factory "hand painted" (can't replicate these folks) red/maroon pinstripes are also a true testament to the originality of the paint.As all of you Oldsmobile (or GM in general) collectors/restorers/aficionados are aware, the "original" sheet metal on this circa of cars was very wavy and this car is certainly no exception.The interior is 100% original, in "VERY NICE" condition again as displayed in the images, has a very few ash burns in the front drivers seat, one in the rear seat and a few in the carpeting unnoticeable from a normal viewing distance, and the interior smells like a fresh vintage car with a unique caveat of having a portion of the factory applied seat plastic still in place on the passenger side inner seat.An incorrect electric antennae has been installed at some point on the right rear quarter top (you can see it in the trunk images) with a small toggle switch installed in the lower dash which is inoperable.Due to the low mileage of 58,687 (appears by the overall condition of the car to be original) the car had sit for some duration and the following repairs/maintenance have been performed:New correct fuel tank, new fuel tank sending unit, entire fuel system flushed, original carburetor rebuilt, new fuel filter, new battery, fresh oil and filter change with ZDDP oil additive, front disc brake rotors turned, new premium front brake pads, (2) new BF Goodrich 225/70-15 Radial TA (rear) tires, recharge Air Conditioning system with correct R12 refrigerant (blows super cold!), install A/C thermal limiter, new correct fresh air intake hose, correct reproduction rear bumper to quarter fillers, new air filter, new correct reproduction roof panel rocket emblems, and a correct reproduction trunk lock rocket emblem.(LOADED) Factory options are but not limited to: Cutlass Salon Package, Rocket 455 Big Block (last year for the Big Block in Oldsmobile's, rare, rare, rare), Turbo 400 Transmission, Limited Slip Differential.
