I haven't been on here for some time.
Life gets in the way sometimes.
Anyhow, here is my car as you may remember it.



Late Tuesday night July 15 I went into hypoglycemic shock while driving home.
I remember leaving my friends apartment but not leaving the building.
'Came to' in the back of an ambulance.
Blood sugar levels were at 2.
Spent the night at the Civic hospital.
License suspended until medical ok.
I don't recall any of the accident or what I hit.
I'm fine, not a scratch on me.
Here's what my baby looks like now.



The cops forced my door open to get to my glove box to get the ownership & insurance papers.



I told them the lock is ****ed up. This is how they opened the glove box.



I now need one (1) 15x7 chrome H/O or 442 rally rim.
Anybody have a good one for sale?



Now, on to happy news.
I bought this a couple weeks ago for $1400.
'85 Olds. Comes with 90's Target master GM 350 crate motor with 5 speed trans set in car - not running, Center force clutch kit, short throw camaro shifter, bearings, brakes incl. lines and e brake cable, Comp coil springs, KYB gas shocks, extra Holley carb and fuel pump, 2 spare Quadrajets, headers. Also has new 2.5" exhaust kit. It has a 12 gallon fuel cel. Good frame, solid body. Floor is so-so. A/C, but not hooked up, pw & p locks. It has an aftermarket sunroof. Wish it was a factory sunroof....but still, all is good!


Comes with new in box door window rubber.

So, the plan is to put the good bits off my 2 tone '83 into the dark blue '85.
Then I found this.
1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Classic.
30,000 ORIGINAL kilometers (18,600 miles).
307 4 spd auto.







It doesn't squeek,rattle, everything works. Drives like new because it is virtually new.
Will put new tires, hoses, etc.
So, I'm keeping the '88 bone stock, for shows only, and the '85 as my daily.




oh......I paid $1500 for the '88.

Long time no see! Sucks about your car, especially what they did. Glad you're ok, though. That's a killer score with the new Olds.
 
I'm glad your ok and thumbs up for your positive attitude. Did your docs ok you to get your licence back?
 
The car did a good job protecting you - with no airbags. No corporate exposure for GM - by driving a thirty-year-old G-body, we just accept the risk. Nice carma that you found two new ones, and fast.
 
Wow man, glad everything has worked out ok. Nice score with the cars but I sure liked your 83....good luck and keep us posted
 
Sorry to read about what happened to you, and your super clean ride. I'm glad to hear that you weren't seriously injured. Hope your condition is under control.
Welcome back! You did very well on the two Cutlasses. You certainly were meant to have them.
 
Sorry to hear about the accident. Last summer I had an accident that totaled a Firebird I had just restored the complete interior on, totaled the car. Just had to keep remembering that a car is something that can be replaced, in the end it is the occupants that matter. On a good not I found my Monte Carlo a little over a month later.
