1981 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme review from North America
"A cheap death!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problems that I have had with this car is the extremely large high compression 350 put out a lot of heat and the car only had a 2 core radiator and would reach 280 degrees in less than 15 minutes. With about a hour worth of work and plasma cutter in hand, the car now sports an extremely large 4 core Jeep radiator.
General comments?
This car is bad to the bone.. extremely up-gradable, very reliable.
This car had been sitting in my field for 8 years! It has such a small amount of rust I was amazed.
After 8 years I put in a battery and poured gas down the carb and it roared to life.
