Just saw at a place near me the guy is selling a 86 cutless supreme clean title w/130,000 miles on the body idk about the engine but its a small block chevy 5.0v8 with 3/4 cam also says it's worked to a fake 442 rebuilt turbo 400 trans brand new exhaust brakes interior is flawless black leather the paint is okay front needs a lil more tlc but heard its common for the front to wear on these cars the gentleman is selling for 2100 and he's negotiable I'm just wandering if it's worth it or not

 

Watsup guys new to the forum reason I'm leaving a post is because I came across a 86 cutless saloon the gentleman is asking 2100 he is negotiable as well the car has 130k on body idk how much on motor but it's a 327 worked to a wannabe 442 it has brand new brakes exhaust shocks rebuilt turbo 400 trans 3/4 racing cams slap stick shifter interior is mint black leather exterior paint is okay front end is a lil chipped but I heard the front end on these it happens a lot overall car seams to be solid besides the floor pan has to be replaced soon cause it is rusting clean title as well I'm posting this to see what your opinions are on the car wither I should go for it or not or if it's just gunnar be a money pit

 

A car like that with a worked 327 SBC would go for a lot more than $2100, but it seems that the 81-88 G Body cars go for a ton of money.

I would still buy it and plan on swapping the motor or transmission if they have problems

 

Forgot to mention has been in multiple accidents the dealer did say so that makes me think a lil bit more about it but ty for the reply

 

Is the guy also selling a Camero? ;-)

 

Cutless?? (Olds spelling police - it's called Cutlass). A saloon is a sedan, this is a coupe. I think you meant Salon.

None of those models came with leather. Some did come with vinyl but the majority were cloth.

The 327 transplant will give it much better performance than the 3.8L (231) V6 it likely came with, BUT I'd be really leery of a car that has known numerous front end crashes and has rust.

Contrary to what's been said, these G body cars do not command big $$, mostly because they were produced in the hundreds of thousands. For 1986 alone they produced 232472 of this body style. In 1985 the number was 219850 units. I could go back to 1981 and list the production of this body style, but needless to say there would be a total over 1,000,000 bodies in this style. They were more common than dirt and outsold the other brands by a long shot. I owned an 82 new out of the showroom - it was a nice riding car but; weak as hell with that lame 260/TH200 combo and significant wind noise from the T top roof.

 

The seats we're dome by someone I'm guessing cause they are the stock seats but with leather so my question is Allan r would you pay close to 1800 for it? Or should I run away?

 

Honestly? No. Mainly because you've indicated it has been in numerous front end crashes. I'd be worried about the front frame and mods that may have been done. From your description this is someones old race car. Are you buying it to race or as a DD?

327 is a nice engine, but it also means that you have different engine mounts and mods to the wiring harness. The TH400 will easily handle the torque from it, but as others have said, this is more of a Frankencar, so judge it accordingly.

Just an FYI, front end springs aren't all that hard to replace, and neither are control arms/bushings. Just time consuming.

 

I merged your 2 threads, I'm assuming is about the same car. It does not look bad for a $2100 car, it would make a fun toy.

 

If it's been in a few accidents, walk away!

It most likey has vinyl seats. Sounds like it was orginally a V6 car. Would make the SBC an easier swap.

It's starting to make sense that the car "looks good" It has a lot of body repairs and fresh paint

 

It was someone's dd and I was gunna use it as a project car but someone did buy this about 2 hours ago so it's is there problem now
