hey everyone, i own a 81 cutlass cruiser, dont know a whole lot about my car im just getting into a gm phase. I love my wagon and drive it daily. From what i know is it had a 260 and 200m and the original owner had a dealership ect rebuild a carburated 3.8 and th 350, im not sure when im guessing earily 90's. i belive it had alittle paint work done and it has american racing wheels other then that i think its original. the interior is pretty mint aside from the headliner that the previous owner stappled! wtf! anyways if anyone has info or comments they would like to share it'd be appreciated! i want to know more about my wagon.

also i've had my car since the end of winter and i have been trying to find a few things for it and can't.. there is no G body wagons in the junkyards up here i think they all get enduro raced or turned into dirt track pure stocks. I have been looking for the little cover that goes over the screws that mount the spoiler and black trim stip for my rear bumper. also im wondering what other car uses the same front fenders and i need a driver floor pan. ive looked all over and only found the things i dont need!

Welcome!

You're not gonna find covers for the screws on the wing over the back window.
They get brittle with age and are pretty much impossible to remove without breaking.
The rubber bump strips on the bumper are another thing you're not gonna find.
Neither are reproduced, and you're only luck is finding some on a car at the yard or one getting parted out.

Fenders should be the same on '78-'83 Cutlass wagons and '78-'78 Cutlass sedans. Coupe fenders will not work.
Floor pans are universal for all '78-'88 G-bodies, and there are a few different reproductions available.

If you're up for a drive, there is a junkyard just north of Willmar, MN that has a nice selection of Cutlass's, including several wagons.

Rohners auto parts.

Theyve got like 10 olds wagons. Got a bunch of awesome stuff. But if your in the market for interior stuff, your out of luck. Stuff is overgrown. They dont mow anything.

well i probably wont be making a trip anytime soon but what i really need is the bumper trim, the screw cover and a pair of fenders, my car isint perfect but im not going to replace the headliner my seats are nice and the dash and all that is mint. i got a crack in the interior driver pillar. i just drive it to work and get alot of LOOKS when i drive through town. I think i have the only one in the area.
