Well, I picked up an 82 Cutlass today. Not sure what the plans hold for this one, the outer body is pretty rough. Floors/trunk and frame seem solid and the doors close very nice, but its a basic car. Motor hasnt run in a few years, but I should have it going this week. Its got a new full dual exhaust with cats, lots of new and good parts. Any suggestions??

Gasoline and a match...
j/k
Actually, clean it up, keep the stainless, landau and the interior stock and throw an LC2 in it!

Jack it up a few and put some 26"s on it with about 6 TV's, lambo doors and candy paint.

My thinking is to pull the motor and trans and sell the rest. Still undecided as of yet though...2012 Street Glide

Well as an Olds guy the first thing I check is to see if it has an Olds or a Chev.
I looked at it and was like that don't look right

that's a nice looking cutlass just needs some love. i just picked up an 85 cutlass supreme from some hillbilly guy who swapped in a chevy 350 out of a caprice. it runs fine just has a little rust on the rockers and needs a better tranny. i got a straight trade for an 86 celica i got off this forum for 180 bucks. not too bad if you ask me.
