Grandpa’s Brougham

Hello everyone

I’ve recently unearthed this 1986 cutlass supreme brougham from my grandfathers garage. This car has no keys, title, or proof of ownership. Grandpa is 95 with dementia and is not capable of finding or remembering this car. It has been buried under hoarded garbage for 30 plus years.

My family is trying to move / sell this vehicle but not sure how. Any advice, tips, or experiences with this type of situation would help a lot. I’m located in Chicago and right now the first offer I have is 400 dollars.

Oil pump job next?

Hello people , the oil/choke light comes on only in very specific conditions with this one . The road to the hot thubs outside of the city alway ends with a twisty steep road and right after stopping the light comes on . If i put it into P the light goes away . If i put it again into D the light comes on again . Right after i rev the engine slightly it dissapears . Ever the slightest revs.
The light never comes on when i just drive it around the city or of i stop on the red lights and etc , only in this one occasion .

Oldsmobile Omega 1980

Hey everyone!

Guys, I could really use your help.

I’m restoring this car, but I’m missing the air deflector, and unfortunately I haven’t been able to find one anywhere. It seems to be nearly impossible to track down.

As far as I know, this might be the only Oldsmobile Omega in Russia. And judging by what I see on eBay, it doesn't seem to be the most popular car in the US either.

So finding parts for it has been a real nightmare.

Could anyone point me toward the best subreddit, forum, or marketplace where I might have a chance of finding this missing part? I’d really appreciate any recommendations.

Or maybe you know a guy who hunts down hard-to-find GM parts? I’d happily pay for their help if they could source the part and ship it to Russia

Thanks in advance!

1960 Oldsmobile Super 88

I’m 19 and so excited to carry on Oldsmobiles hotrod legacy. She runs and drives but has no breaks and needs a different gas tank (it’s running off a lawnmower tank right now). But other than that, it’s a running, driving, 394 with a 4 barrel carb and looks like a spaceship. What more could you want?

95 LSS Selling Price Advice

Always sad to let go of a member of the fleet, but I recently acquired another project and I need to let one go to make room. Unfortunately, the LSS makes the most sense to sell.

I need to clean it up a little and put the summer tires back on the front, so it’s not officially for sale yet.

It has 98k miles, very low rust (I’m in Ohio, so that is rare for cars) new fuel system, new brakes, new shocks, rebuilt supercharger, new exhaust, and some other bits here and there. The original interior was really rough, so I swapped in an interior from a Buick Lesabre, hence the red/grey theme. I have the original interior and front grill and headlights still that will go with the car.

I am thinking about asking $3,600. Does that seem fair?

1964 Olds Dynamic 88 low compression 394 fuel question.

I'm going to look at this car on monday, it looks very clean from pictures, but one thing I'm concerned about is the type of fuel, since the low compression version of the 394 is designed to run on 87 octane. Where I live the lowest purchasable non-enthonal fuel is 91 octane. Is it safe to run a higher octane? Or will it potentially cause issues down the road?

Cutlass -> Vista Curiser engine swap

My 1967 cutlass has a built 350ci motor and a TH350 transmission. I want to move that motor to my all original 67’ vista cruiser. Vista cruiser currently has the 330 and I believe a stock transmission — not sure what it is. I’m concerned about the driveline fitment for both vehicles since there is a variance in the transmissions.

Will I need to swap the drivelines too or should I leave each driveline in their current vehicle?

Will the 350/TH350 slip into the VC without having to muckle with the driveline and transmission support? How can I measure?

Thanks!

Jetaway help

I recently posted about my '65 F-85, and with driving it quite a bit this week doing 55mph to and from work. (Which i figured was perfect for this beauty). I felt like it had been sitting really high in the revs... So I did what my gut told me, and rigged a temp tach through some panal gapping between the hood and fender. Since doing that ive only really driven it once. But doing 45, it sits at about 3000rpm in second. First gear pulled up to around 55 at 6000ish rpm when I held it in Low. Is this normal? I know for a fact the rear gears never been changed.
