Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible

1972 Olds Cutlass Convertible for sale

The last of the greatest cars. The majority of car collectors tell us. Why buy? Collecting cars is a great day to diversify your investing holdings. Of course, s with all investments, here are risks. Likewise for other investments with collector cars can yield rewards. Some rewards can be measured in pure dollars, ut one unique reward is the pleasure of ownership and the driving experience that is not available like most other investments like stocks and bonds.

With a plethora of information to research, ike auction results, ADA book values, ertified appraisers and other expert opinions, any of the risks of car collecting can be minimized. As with the baby-boomers, ore and more are buying the cars of the 60's and the 70's to own and enjoy. This is increasing the demand for them and shrinking the supply of these classic cars every year for them to buy.

Car collecting has a bright future and with it an above-average reward opportunity occurring to one who owns more than 30 such cars carefully warehoused and secured. When we factor in the "Miles of Smiles," then one is likely to enjoy such benefits based on various degrees over the past years.

Such is my 72 Cutlass Supreme Convertible. It is a fine example of the model of the luxury version of a muscle car. My search began one year too early for me to avoid the 10% penalty pulling out IRA money to buy mine. But I rationalized getting my car, ecause I wanted my high-school graduating son to take his girlfriend on a date driving my car that summer. My parameters were: Red Cutlass Convertible with white interior and white top with black dashboard and black carpet; white top boot; bucket seats; console with automatic transmission and shifter; power steering, ower brakes, ower top; AM/FM Stereo radio; spoke-steering wheel; V8, 50 cubic -inch engine; Matching-Numbers engine required; Quadrajet-4-barrel carburetor; stainless-steel exhaust pipes, tainless-steel mufflers & Air Conditioning. Another plus is that my Cutlass came from Dallas, X, ctually northwest of Dallas. Oh, also have documents and receipts.

Before I bought the car in TX, arranged to have it shipped directly to Charlotte two years ago for $1200. That gave me peace of knowing that I couldn't be in a wreck, echanical problems, nd to have the car insured with Hagerty Insurance, hich charges me about $275/year to insurance this car.

My son, is girlfriend, is buddies all want to ride in this car rather than Audis, MWs, olvos, tc. It comfortably seats five full adults easily. It's fun to drive and to ride in style. Plus it sounds good. They all have photos of themselves riding in that car.

The appraiser said it had NO rust on the underside: "It's amazing how old it is to be with no rust in the car." But I must sell my dream car. When I was 18 and graduating from high school, y girlfriend's dad bought a new one. He let me drive his Cutlass Convertible with white interior and white top. Then I decided I would get one someday. I'm glad that I could and did. Unfortunately, y wife of 33 years decided to divorce me this spring when I reached 61 years of age. That's why I need to sell my dream car.

I get compliments each day. Yesterday a beautiful blonde lady to go to her Yoga class told me with her big, erfect teeth offered, I just love your car!" That made me happy to go to a meeting. NOTE: I'm 61 years old so I'll never reach 2000 transactions with e-Bay. NOTE: I have not painted the underside. It's like it was when it was new plus dirt. It's $10 for a can of paint, ut that is discouraging to some buyers. Don't you do that either. Beware of how people painted the underside.

What a fun way to invest like many already have begun to enjoy!
