Here's the 1993 Cutlass Supreme convertible 3.1 that I bought from Invasion1 (Dave). He imported it from Florida a few years ago. It has just over 60K miles, but I don't know the exact mileage because the speedo has been changed by Dave to a metric one.

It's in awesome shape mechanically, and there's no rust. It just needs some bodywork (dent removal) and some other cosmetic attention to be a sweet cruiser.

It purchased with brand new calipers, rotors, pads, and KYB struts on all 4 corners. It also has a recent radiator, alternator and PS pump. It has less than 1000mi on a rebuilt transmission.

It has a couple tiny holes in the top which is otherwise in good shape. I'm going to have it repaired at an upholstery shop locally.

I'm going to tinker with it this winter and get it ready for summer cruising.

Anyways heres the pics....don't worry the whitewalls will be history shortly.













Interior ( needs new seats, gonna do a rear bucket swap hopefully)







Good ol reliable 3.1



New brakes all around





The underbody is fairly clean too







Sorry the car is dirty, I haven't had a chance to wash it since Dave delivered it from Sudbury.

What do ya think?

Looks to be in good shape!  Just wondering, that lower strip around the back of the top, where the 3rd brake light is, is that always black?  Seems to me that really needs to be white.  That just struck me as odd looking for some reason.  

Yeah, enjoy that in the summer!

Well looks like you got a good deal!  Dave is a great guy to deal with. :smt023

So you got any plans for that engine, or just leave it stock (I can't imagine 3.1 in a vert is all that quick..)

Right now its staying 100% stock powertrain wise. I have the TGP if I want to go fast. This is just a cruiser.

Right on!

I'm sure Kuntzie could hook you up with some turbo stuff if you ever wanted to boost it.   There aren't any turbo verts that I'm aware of ???

I've driven turbo PT Cruiser 'vert in the past and it was pretty fun.  Turbo is louder with no roof. lol

Yeah Jeff has a lot of TGP stuff.

and I agree that Dave is awesome to deal with.

It's too bad he had to head back to Sudbury the same night.

We gotta meet up sometime... I've never rode in a Cutty vert (or a TGP for that matter..LOL)

Verts I've driven:

PT Cruiser (probably my favorite, dunno why I like those cars)
G6
Solstice
Sebring lol

Wish it was warm out so I could take the new Solstice GXP for a spin  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

Brings back memories of my old white vert.  If I ever get the chance to re-buy that car, I will have it again!

Yeah for sure Once April rolls around with some decent weather, we should have a minimeet somewhere between Kitchener and London.
