I picked up this 1986 olds cutlass supreme not running and sitting for 5 years, the purchase price was $900 and after all repairs of $480 not including labor for a grand total of $1380. it still needs tires and vinyl repaired but the rest of it looks to have come out very well.

A tad overdoo for noo gloo? π
Are the wheel spacers there because the tie rods will touch? Wheels seem correct for that year!
The interior still looks good in that car.
I miss my cutlass. That was my first car. We paid $500 and drove it for seven years and after frustration with my paint job I paid for I ended up selling it to a friend. He then ruined the head gasket or motor and blew a giant crack in the radiator with oil looking like chocolate milk. Then it sat to rot. I never did any major work to it either other than paint. That one was a 79 Calais edition with grey on black which was unique for a cutlass. It had the black vinyl top with bucket seats,floor shifter,round gauges not rectangular and a actual factoryTach. My plan was to fix it up with paint,fix the vinyl driver seat and putting a bigger motor but ended up getting frustrated before I finished it.
you bent it the wrong way π
That's a badass old guy car (American Legion age), would rock that ride as a relatively young man (late 30's). Would put some gentle hp mods on it, daily it.
Nice car you scored. you can probably find the factory gauge cluster for that dash, its plug and play for the most part, I installed that same dash with gauges from a cutlass wagon in my 79 2 door malibu along with the carpet and door panels from a super clean junk yard doner gota love those 78-87 G bodies
Anyone else notice the gas gauge go down
Not bad for $1300-ish.
Awesome! I just welded the frame of my truck last weekend both sides of the rear wheel well, thus brings back memories of my first car π great score my buddy

That looked like you were going to Diesel Creek before Matt did up the driveway lol
I had one just like it but the inside color was navy blue. I also had a 85 Buick Regal Limited. Black on the outside and inside was Gray. Both cars was super nice. Just a memory now.

what was it with these cars and all the various hoses. Dang. We had a "bro-ham" Cutless Holiday about 1986 model. It was loaded, Burgundy with burgundy interior .Very similar to what Mustie1 had been working on.
