Bought another car (upto 3)
Ill have pics mostlikely tomorrow when I pick it up. Its a 1984 Olds Cutlass Supreme. 3.8 V6 carbbed. Underbody is so clean its disgusting. It looks like it never went through rain/mud/dirt. It has 89k orig miles. Some grandma owned it and died. Son sold the car. Its red in color. I like the idea of the 3.8 V6, cause the camaro and grand marq arent that great on gas.I know its bad, but I think Im going to put on chrome, 15" 100 spokes.
This isnt gonna be my fast car. its gonna be my cruiser. Im thinking of a decent stereo system, wheels (not 100% on the spokes) and mebbe if I have some cash lying around, I might put airbags or a custom paint job.

Holy  , that sounds like the exact car my friend Ethan has. His is an 84 Olds Brougham that was spotless. I honestly wouldn't have had any problem eating out of the engine bay! He ripped it apart to build it up but I think he's selling it to get it out of his parents garage (works for Jim Head funny car team in Columbus Ohio). The 3.8 carb was a POS to the nth power. It was so slow that I couldn't tell if he had a lead foot or not... he would tell me periodically on a slight upgrade that he's floored just to watch me bust out laughing. It was terribly underpowered to the point of not even being a cruiser. A cruiser needs to have some power to be able to pull out into traffic, this didn't even have that.
Seeing as it's a g-body you have a lot of options as far as building one up. The GN's did mighty well with that platform

I dont want to kill my gas mileage. I was thinking, I saw a 4bbl manifold and I got plenty of 4bbl carbs. But just dumping all that gas in, is worthless w/o changing heads/cam. Like I said, its my cruiser, not my go fast

Glad that the car is nice and clean, but I'll vouch that that motor sucks.
LittleG had one in his first car ('81 Malibu) and my 2.8/A4 '85 Camaro would run circles around it, even when the bottom end was coming apart.

Just drop a turbo Buick motor in it and you'll have some go fast and some decent gas mileage(as long as your lead foot isn't too heavy).
