1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme review from North America
"The pimp daddy ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The cutlass at 168,000 miles is just now starting to give me a little trouble. The only trouble I have had is the external parts of the motor. The motor itself is all original and doesn't smoke. It does use a quart of oil about ever 2500 miles. External parts that have died most recently as of 11/25/02, belts (all), alternator, ignition module and points in the distributor. Overall, not too bad.
General comments?
Since I have bought it I have done several things to it.
First, all new interior... very nice.
Second, I rebuilt the transmission with a shift kit, It runs much better now. It never gave out, I just wanted better response.
Third, I'm gathering everything I need to do a paint job, I'm gonna see if I can't bring a little life back to her.
