[WyoKid]

hello, im new to the forum, i just turned 18 and live in Versailles Ohio, and i bought a 1987 Cutlass 442. im needing some help with information to fix the car. hopefully im in the right place. Any way the cars in desent shape except floor pans, body, paint, interior, brakes, any alot of everything else.... the car sat for 6 years in a field and with just a fuel pump the car runs like a champ. I have one Problem and a big one. I need to make it every day driver capable by April 1, because thats my first day of collage at Wyo Tech, in Blairsville, PA. A 800 mile trip. i know i can do it but i need parts... nobody around my area or anyone i know has any... Anyone know where i can get them and DIRT CHEAP?

i'll post pictures of the car soon.

mabey look into a parts car and grab what ever you need it dosent have to be a cutlass.. Montes .. Regals all them have good parts that you could use.

And a parts car might just be cheaper then buying all the parts to be Honest.

Welcome. Finding 442 specific parts "dirt cheap" will be difficult. Even regular G bodies are becoming scarce in salvage yards but you might score some parts that way. Otherwise, post a parts wanted ad here or on the following forums

Oldspower.com
Realoldspower.com
