    If you do settle on a CS, search for 2. You are going to needs a parts supply, that is assuming you have space. You dont indicate where you are, so your biggest enemy when looking at a Gen1 W is rust. I can find low mile CS variants.. But not so much of the International models. https://www.copart.com/lot/40588763/clean-title-1993-oldsmobile-cutlass-supreme-s-ga-savannah https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/3867af85-1e81-4bba-96be-11fa14cc15e2/?aff=atempest&CMP=atempest&utm_source=AutoTempest&utm_medium=TRP&utm_campaign=atempest https://skagit.craigslist.org/cto/d/north-lakewood-1997-oldsmobile-cutlass/7640581205.html None are Internationals.... www.autotempest.com is your friend! All that being said.... I would go with a Pontiac. But as you can tell from my Signature below, I am also biased.

    Alright here she is, the 1989 Pontiac "2000 Le" from Trenton. For some reason that was what the auction lot labeled it as. I had a 3rd party inspector check it out and run the VIN prior to bidding. It was a one owner car from NJ until it went to the auction lot, a slight front end collision a few years ago that set its title into the salvage category. That had to have been repaired out of pocket and when the car was repainted as theres obvious overspray and some peeling around trim. Theres some slight scratches here and there as one would expect but over all it looks amazing for how old it is. 1st pic on the truck when it arrived, It didnt start at first so we pushed it off the trailer and into the driveway, the brakes worked great and the valence only suffered a little. It seemed to have a lot of odd electrical problems and wouldnt crank at all. Thinking it was the aftermarket alarm I went to pull the battery out so I could unplug the damn horn and saw it was from 2011. A new battery had the engine fired right up and I drove it around the block a few times then topped the tank off at the ethanol free place. ...TBC

    For sure the best thing I ever did was buy 2 rusty International Series parts cars. Just in hardware alone...they were excellent and saved me so much time and money.

    Yeah the wheels are absolutely the biggest for me, there’s a guy who’s willing to sell me a pair for 350, but he lives farther away so I don’t wanna risk that their damnaged for $350. Pictures can only show so much, so I’m trying to figure out where I can find some decent shape ones

    Yeah, I’m not super worried about parts, because I’d like to find a international car stock, but yeah even just finding regular parts will be hard I guess, I still do really want a 91 thougj

    Welcome! As an owner of a 91 International Series Cutlass Supreme coupe, I can tell you that finding parts for one is going to be a challenge. I've spent about 7-8 years collecting parts for it's restoration and I think I might have bought up most, if not all of the NOS parts left in inventory and collections. Now, my car was pretty much dead when I found it but that doesn't make a difference really when it comes to certain things. If you're worried about parts availability, go with the later gen GTP. First gen stuff is really tough to find now.

    Antique Plates now, went on a decent little trip to Best Buy and it runs and drives just fine. It didnt want to start up afterwards though, everything had power but no cranking at all just a relay clicking. The 3rd try it fired right up though. Took the interstate back and man it just goes. Maybe because I`m used to drive big lumbering slow things, I didnt realize i was around 80-85mph by the end of the on ramp. Even better it just sips on the gas and feels faster that a 2nd gen GTP with the L67 that chugged the premium. I thought the fuel gauge was broken! Taking it to my 1st car show next Saturday for Cars and Coffee, Jiggity`s letting me borrow a grill insert(Thanks again man) Any ideas on how to go about finding the PO? This was a really cared for car that I`m sure they`d want to know what happened to it.
