Just bought my first Cutlass :D
I love it!
Specs: 3.8L V6 Carburettor'd not Fuel Injected and stock everything. We believe it's the original motor and trans as well.
Only paid $1200 for it, and is in great shape. No major issues aside from needing a new alternator and some TLC. Just need to get some plates and drive it

From overall appearance, not a bad looking vehicle..... Looks to be a 1986..... Be cautious of potential rust areas in the rear frame rails/trunk areas..... Good luck with your Cutlass........

Ok option wise doesn't have AC, wasn't a part of the car at all since I don't see any place for it on the dash, standard bench seats. Headliner is missing, someone ripped it out :P
Basically I think option wise it's the basic package, but that's ok, less I have to worry about and/or change to suit the final car.
Also dash is slightly screwed up, someone installed a CD player and I think didn't take it apart right since the cover there won't snap in and stay put. For that matter the radio isn't even mounted right, not bolted down :P
Other than that, the car isn't even rusting anywhere. Not that I could see, and I even crawled under it and checked out the frame.
Best part: Mileage. 82,497

Congratulations on your buy. They made millions of those body style so if you want a replacement head liner or radio, there's bound to be lots in the boneyards. With a small V6, that should give you decent mileage.
