Went out on a long test run through the neighborhood backroads and man what a car! I had to put some 1x4s down at the end of the driveway to keep from scraping the road. Also had a near panic moment coming across some new speed bumps. I recall seeing the lowered cars hit the bumps diagonally and that seemed to work just fine. To much traffic on the main roads and even on the backroads to get into the pedal though, plus the no tag thing...7 points -

NEW PURCHASE - 1994 Cutlass Supreme Convertible
rich_e777 and 5 others reacted to bluecalais79 for a topic
Over the weekend I did a down and back to central Florida to pick up a white 1994 Cutlass Supreme convertible I saw on Auto Trader. Pictures are forthcoming as I put the car right into storage for a few months until the weather turns. It has just under 60,000 miles and has the infamous 3.4 motor. It's got some issues but what old car doesn't. Someone got some crappy oily/sappy goo on the hood I will have to work at to get off. The weather-stripping around the tiny rear window is not staying on it so I'd better not drive this car in the rain until I fix that. The motor has a slight miss when idling and I'll guess being driven 100 miles in the last 10 (!) years might have something to do with that. I have new spark plugs and new spark plug wires on the way, it could use a good tune-up. The white top is filthy, I just ordered a kit to hopefully address that. The interior in this car is absolutely MINT and it's burgandy, really sharp. It has an aftermarket radio which gets the boot as soon as I locate a correct CD player so I can get those steering wheel controls working again. All in all I think this is going to be a great car once the above is addressed. NO rot underneath and no funny smells anywhere leads me to believe this car was always garage kept. Even the trailing arms have no rot. We'll see........6 points -

Greetings all! I've only been poking around this forum for the last few weeks after I acquired my recent project, a 1989 Cutlass Supreme 5 speed FE3 with what I've been told is a 3/4 of a Razzi body kit (based on the rattled canned front bumper cover, I'm guessing the Razzi cover was damaged and removed). I've also read that these were often dealer installed? It looks well done. But I guess the original owner could have just spent the money to have it installed elsewhere. I saw the car on FB marketplace a few months ago and was instantly telling my wife we had to go get it. We drove the 4 hours with a dolly to pick it up only to find an issue with the title. So I told the seller if they could get the issue resolved, I would buy it. Well fast forward a few months and the FB ad gets posted on the GM FWD Society FB page. I comment saying I'm in talks to buy it but I'm waiting to hear back on the title. A guy comments mentioning a way to get the title issue fixed and says if I don't end up buying it, he's going to and use it for parts for one of his projects. I told myself "The hell he is!" and quickly made plans to go buy it. This is it the day I brought it home. Sat in a field for months and got mowed around, so it was dirty The interior isn't bad, I'd say 6/10. It needs some love and I am going to try and restore it as much as possible with some liberties. Its the red interior, so I've been toying with the idea of putting red 04-06 GTO seats in it. Would also allow for the passenger seat to be power as well. Ideally I would love the higher end buckets that came in the later International coupes but those are a lot harder to find. The reason the seller sold the car was supposedly because the engine was "blown". However after putting a battery in it and reconnecting the plug wires, it started right up and ran great (did hesitate a little when revving). No knocking like the seller said it had. No coolant in the oil or vice versa. Not sure what they determined was blown about it lol. However, I have plans for an engine swap anyway. Leaning mostly toward a L67 but turboed instead (I have a lot of experience with building and tuning turbo cars). Just a small turbo with baby boost to keep the 282 alive. Oooorrr an LS4. The latter would be a little more involved with finding a clutch and flywheel though. But I will still need to find a setup for an L67, so I'm still weighing the options. Sorry, I'm letting this introduction post get away from me. Just excited to share and hear everyones thoughts! I plan to start a build/resto thread in the near future! Oh which reminds me, if anyone has a factory shift knob for one of these and is willing to let it go, please message me lol. I recently discovered the Cutlass Supremes have a unique lever and other factory GM screw on ones won't work :(. Anyway, thanks for reading! Here is a pic in the garage after we washed her.

LS4 swap begins

And it's in............. hopefully for the last time................for awhile... or at least until it runs. The cradle is bolted solidly to the car at this point, and the motor mounts are loosely attached (gotta get more bolts and nuts). Everything fits so far, so now its on to wiring and plumbing. I also did a little trimming on the PCM box to tuck it farther into the fenderwell. My goal was to keep it in the stock location, and I think it'll work.

Hey, I’m pretty new to the car community in general. This is my first car, bought and paid for on my own. It’s in pretty nice condition, only 116k on the clock. A pretty nice oil leak and a tire that goes flat but other than that pretty much no issues.

jiggity76 comes through once again!
rich_e777 and 5 others reacted to 1 of 996 for a topic
My car has been missing this piece for as long as I and the guy before me have owned it. But today I got a "care package" in the mail from jiggity76 and inside was the moulding I have been missing and it is in WHITE. With about 20 minutes of my time disassembling and polishing, it's as close to NOS as a used piece is going to get. Now, a missing key piece to the car is in place.......6 points -
