Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented as matching numbers. Shiny paint and chrome but there are some small cracks at the front of one of the hood scoops and some crazing on the rear. Clean wheels and clear glass. Good, lightly worn interior. An eye-catching, well-optioned Cutlass in the sharp condition usually reserved for 4-4-2s.
Market commentary
The W-31 Cutlass S combined big block power with small block mass in an exciting and balanced package that few realize exists or know how to value. The Hagerty Price Guide completely overlooks the possibility of a W-31 powertrain in a Cutlass S, which adds to the mystery, but the option existed and could have been explained and exploited by the consignor with a thorough description. As it is, this is a rare car (if the description is correct) and was a brilliant buy.
