1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass
Basic Information and History
The 1970 Cutlass Supreme was part of Oldsmobile's effort to compete in the muscle car market, offering a unique blend of luxury and performance. The 455 engine was a central part of this strategy, with its impressive power and torque.
This 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with the SX package was imported from the USA in 2021 and has only had one owner in Sweden. A sought-after classic, it is appreciated for its combination of muscle car performance and timeless American design.
Equipment and Options
The SX was an optional package for the Cutlass Supreme, known as the Y79 Performance Package, and was only offered in 1970 and 1971. At the beginning of the 1970 model year, the SX was the latest version of the 1967 Turnpike Cruiser option and the "economical" 442 from 1968 and 1969. The Y79 package initially included the following:
- L33 455 cubic inch big block with a 2-barrel carburetor
- M40 automatic transmission with OG performance code calibration
- Dual exhaust system
- 442 exhaust cutouts and the mandatory slotted rear bumper
- Highway gearing for better fuel economy
- SX emblems
This version of the Cutlass Supreme was also equipped with a rear spoiler and other wheels, further enhancing its performance and style.
