1993 Oldsmobile Cutless

I have a 1993 Oldsmobile cutlass that i got from my sister when she passed away in 2000. It is a convertible with v6 with dual cams. Will or is this a classic. It has 92000 miles on it.

It is a convertible, so it will always have some appeal to someone.

But, alot of folks that know these cars are kind of afraid of them. The motors can have timing chain trouble and those parts are getting hard to come by. GM has started discontinuing items for this motor. They've also started discontinuing convertible top parts and weatherstrips. Another motor issue is the oil pump drive o-ring. These are leakers on many GM V6s, but on the DOHC motors, it requires removing the head. A third black mark is alternator replacement. They have to come out the bottom and can be quite a job to replace.

But you'll always finds someone who wants a convertible, regardless.

Pending on your state it could be a classic, pending if your state have classic and antique cars.

In PA, a Classic car is 15 years and older and an Antique is 25 years and older. Across the river in NJ, I think it 20 years to get Antique plates which they call "QQ" plates
