carguy Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hello from Florida! I just picked up a 1992 Cutlass Supreme convertible as a 3rd car now that my daughter is driving. Seems like a neat little car and I was tempted to buy one years ago but couldn't justify a 4 seater. Looks like you have a great site here! Lots of help and how-to articles. My car needs some work and parts so you should see me lurking around digging up the information I need to get the ragtop whipped into shape.

theghoul Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Welcome. Here's a few things to get you started: Step 1: Find your local junkyard now. Step 2: Set a budget for repairs..then ignore it. Step 3: Keep it clean, drop the top and have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOlds Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Welcome to the site man. Nice looking Cutlass too. I'm also from Chicago. It seems like more and more of us move to the southern states lol as I now live in Tennessee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afubar Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Welcome, this is a great group of guys, very helpful. I just bought my 93 vert from Sarasota, Florida, had it shipped to the great desert of Oregon. Heck, when I was much younger, I lived in St. Pete.

carguy Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Thanks for all the encouragement! I'm already looking for parts and plan to hit the local yards this weekend if I can. This poor thing has 200k on it but the 3.1 (yeah. sorry.) and trans seem real strong so I am guessing they were serviced at some point. Top was originally black so someone along the line threw money at it. Unfortunately the interior has that 200K mile feel. Nothing a little extra time and cash can't fix. Just gotta take it a bite at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9lumina6 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Good to see a nice older car like that is getting some TLC. That's funny that you're from Ocala...I drove right by there constantly on my drives bacn and forth between Sarasota and here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carguy Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yeah the body and floors are super clean. Even the underbody is surprisingly nice. Being from Chicago I am used to seriously rusty cars. Down here the problem is the sun beating the snot out of the paint and plastic - not to mention the cheap vinyl convertible tops.
