Abandoned 1969 supercar pulled from barn after 30 years – stunning color is still intact and there’s a surprise inside

A CLASSIC supercar has been pulled from a barn after some 30 years – with a surprise that will set gearhead’s pulses racing.

A rare Oldsmobile Cutlass from 1969 has been rediscovered, fitted with a seldom-seen and highly desirable W-31 performance package.

Despite requiring a full restoration, the car is relatively rust-free and in good condition, judging by photographs.

Indeed, the only damage that’s been found is on the driver’s side front fender, although the buyer will have other issues to deal with, including cracks and dents.

Finished in a striking orange color, the eBay listing states that it was originally coated in Platinum Silver, before a previous owner opted to repaint it.

This isn’t the only thing that’s been changed on the Olds either, as the car features a number of common changes that many owners embraced in the 1970s.

These include diamond-stitched upholstery, a new carpet, a chrome lower air cleaner, and racing mirrors.

In some cases, the original parts come with the vehicle – including the original air cleaner, lower ducts, and emblems, which can be found in the trunk.

The original carburetor is also in a box inside the car.

The auction, which began earlier in the week, has so far seen 11 bids, although the reserve is still in place.

Located in Broomfield, Colorado, the car sells with a title, and will require transportation.

The high-performance W-31 variant is known among car enthusiasts for including a special, 350 cubic inch V8 engine with a unique “Force-Air” induction system, a four-barrel Quadrajet carburetor, and other performance enhancements.

This resulted in a factory-rated output of 325 bhp.

The 1969 model was seen as a high point for muscle cars, and the Cutlass W-31 represents a desirable and less common example.

Due to their rarity, performance, and enduring popularity, the W-31 is highly sought after by collectors today.

This comes as a seldom-seen classic car has gone up for sale – having seemingly been hidden away for a number of years.

A Chevrolet Chevelle Greenbrier from 1971 has landed on eBay courtesy of Western Classics, in a condition that suggests it’s been off the road for a rather long time.

While the Chevelle is one of GM’s best known models, the Greenbrier iteration is more of a rarity.

Indeed, only 6,128 similar configurations were built in 1971, according to Auto Evolution.

The Chevelle Greenbrier was a station wagon model, produced in the late 1960s to early 1970s and was Chevrolet’s attempt to offer a stylish yet affordable option in this segment.

While the Greenbrier was not a high-performance model like the SS 396 or SS 454, today it holds certain appeal among collectors and enthusiasts due to its unique position in the Chevelle lineup.
