What year Cutlass does this look like?

[565bbchevy]

I saw this listing for an 87' Cutlass on CL but I thought that year came with the euro front end and I also noticed no third brake light.
Obviously parts can be changed over the years, just wondering if anything stands out that for sure questions the year.

Not an 87. Grille and headlights are 1983-85. Hood says 1983-84 to me. All could be parts from a donor vehicle but the VIN will determine exact year.

That's eather piece together or an old school tag switch those are 83 grills it has the wood grain of an 86 and older correct me if I'm wrong it's got 84 up tail lights and reverse lights it's got an 83-84 Hurst Olds hood and 83-84 Hurst Olds front spoiler it maybe in 87 that had a really rough life in my opinion it would need investigating. Like checking the rivets on the VIN tags the rpo codes and whatever else you can find to identify the car. Third brake light started in 1986

I thought it looked questionable and you would think the seller would say Hurst parts were installed not only as a selling point but to eliminate people like me that would question it.
If it has rear defrost but the third brake light was removed the defrost lines should still go around the area where the light should be so that would be a red flag also.

I texted him and he said it has a 350 Olds but didn't have any pictures of the engine compartment or more interior shots he could send me.
And apparently I can't ask 2 questions in the same text since I asked if it had overdrive and also what trans as second questions and I didn't get a response to either.

Hate it when that happens.

It happens quite a bit, there must be some unwritten rule somewhere about this but I never got the memo.

Those are 85 grills, not 83
