The Cutlass rapidly became a popular nameplate in the States, and the production numbers for the 1967 and 1968 model years confirm it. The GM brand produced close to 550,000 units in these two years, many fitted with the base engines.
The laziest option in 1967 was the 250 straight-six developing 155 horsepower, but Cutlass buyers could also order more powerful engines, including a high-compression four-barrel unit with 320 horsepower.

The Supreme gained series status in 1967, with the 330 V8 engine joining the lineup as the standard offering.

A 1967 Cutlass Supreme recently emerged from a junkyard courtesy of eBay seller BackyardClassicsTRF, with the car now seeking a complete restoration if someone online is brave enough to take it home.

A Cutlass Supreme is typically a head-turning machine, and this example is no exception. Despite several signs that the vehicle might have spent a long time under the clear sky, it still looks complete.

The first thing every potential buyer must do is to thoroughly check the car in person or order a third-party inspection. The seller doesn't share many specifics, only claiming that the body is in good condition. However, we know almost nothing about the potential rust issues, so you must put the car on a lift and inspect the undersides.

The interior also looks complete, which is another sign that this Cutlass Supreme didn't previously serve as a donor for other projects. This is quite unusual for a car parked in a junkyard, as most examples end up losing the most desirable parts, but you can determine its condition more accurately when you see it live.

You also get an engine, with the seller claiming the Supreme comes with a 350 V8 unit under the hood. It starts and runs, so the car is almost ready for the rust, except for the likely technical issues that you'll probably discover when you meet the vehicle for the first time.

It's impossible to tell how original this Cutlass Supreme continues to be, but it still seems to check many boxes for a daily driver restoration candidate. The seller claims the car doesn't need anything if you don't want a full overhaul, as you can buy the Cutlass Supreme and drive it as is without other extra repairs.

Unsurprisingly, this Cutlass Supreme won't sell cheaply, not just because it's a Supreme, but also thanks to its solid shape. The eBay seller believes $15,000 is a fair price, but a buyer can tell if this is the correct expectation after a visual inspection in person. You can find this Cutlass Supreme in Thief River Falls, Minnesota, and you should probably bring a trailer to tow the car home despite the advertised running condition. The listing will expire in two weeks.
