My 86 Cutlass

[Blues Cruise]

Hey folks, I came across this forum recently after getting an amazing deal on an '86 Cutlass for only $2600 bucks. Besides a few very minor problems (scratches, a few burnt out lights, and a few other new parts) it's in amazing shape and runs beautifully with no problems. She was previously garage kept for around 16 years and only has a little over 40,000 miles on her. I'm only fifteen at the moment but in a few months I'll have my driver's license and will be able to fully love her, but for now she's in the process of being prettied up.

I'm working on getting some new rims and fatter tires along with a new exhaust and speaker system soon enough. If only money grew on trees..

Looking pretty clean! you got a good deal on that seeing that by the looks completely stock and garage kept at that. Garage kept is a rare find now a days, I'm not an expert on cutlasses but by the looks is that an limited edition? I just noticed the power windows and door locks along with all the chrome trim. Anyways good luck with it.

Wow man thats one of the nicest i've seen in a while, If it were me i'd leave it the way it is, only thing i'd change is the rims and fluids, congrats, enjoy and take care of her...........BTW my 300th post

Thanks for the comments guys, I don't plan to change her much, but I'm sure the few I will do will be perfect.

I've been contemplating painting the grille black to go with the new set of rims (once I get them), what do you guys think?

Don't ruin the nice grills by painting them. If you really want them painted, get a set of crappier ones and paint them. I might be able to find some that don't look so nice, and I would buy the ones you have off of you since I need some nicer ones.

Once again, I'm still up in the air about painting them. I'll probably photoshop an image of it to see how it looks and if I don't like it, I won't do it.

I'm not trying to say not to do it, just find some crappier ones to do it to. It's getting harder and harder to find ones as nice as yours. Others have done it and it looks good. I actually think there is a recent thread about blacking out the trim. There should be some pics in there.
