I just picked up a 1987 Cutlass Salon from the original owner. I didn't want it, didn't need it, my 79 is in a million pieces, and I didn't need more distractions, but I couldn't pass it up. It runs and drives well, has t-tops, and was garaged for most of it's life, with 112K on the clock. The old man who sold it to me had a fender bender last year, and decided to sell. The driver's headlight assembly is gone, and the header panel is ripped there. There is a dent in that driver fender, but otherwise the body is in great shape. I see non-running Supremes going on Ebay for more than I paid for this car, so I'm thinking of flipping it as is and making a few bucks, or finding a euro header, headlight, and grill, knocking out the dent in the fender, and seeing if I could make a couple more bucks. It really is in great shape otherwise, with only minimal rocker rust near the quarter panel on both sides. Curious what the going rate is on these -of course I realize that it's what someone is willing to pay. Will get some pics.

That damaged euro header and headlight are major issues, as well as rust. If the tin worms got to the bottom of the door, the rear framerails are highly suspect at that point. T-tops, too? Yeah, that can get real ugly. What engine, 3.8, 305, or 307?

The way you describe it.....$1k to $1500 around here. With no damage at all....$2500, maybe $3k on a good day.

Agree with the above value, probably even less here. Expect to pay a premium price just for the replacement Euro front parts being two years old. i paid $75 years ago for a single used grill, probably more expensive if anything now.

SD is a long way from NJ. As I said, look on Ebay, and you'll see sold Supremes at 2500-3000 that I wouldn't touch.

Header and headlight are an easy fix, just have to find the parts. Frame rails are in great shape, and floors and trunk. It's obvious it was in a garage most of the time. 307 in it.
