94CutlassSLCoupe Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 What is the strangest w-body option combo? I owned: '88 CS Coupe Base 2.8/TH440 6-speaker Stereo W/high line tape deck FE3 Suspension (includes 15" alloys and P215/65r15 tires) Crank windows, manual locks, but a power antenna White/Burgandy interior Base digital cluster Bench seat, column shift...I miss that car...ran to 200k before cradle bolt broke I have seen a '90 CS base 4-door with a DIS, fold down rear seat, and 6-speaker stereo Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 Actually, the Cutlass I got my UB3 Digi from.. Had full CS? body panels.. Crosslaces.. Dual exhaust.. Climb in to check for the UB3.. Column shift, bench seat.. UB3 difital.. And it had the 3.1.. The exhaust looked like it was there from dayt one, but I could be wrong.. Kinda cool to see though.. Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 Nothing too odd about either of mine.. TGPs are all close enough, and the Cutlass was a base besides the buckets, 16s", fog lights and rear reading lights. Quote
Brian P Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 your '88 had the stereo package and suspension package. The car you saw, steve, was a 91 base model with the "BYP" appearance package which included International-style cladding, and dual exhaust. Sometimes foglights too. My '90 had the 3.1 option, power windows and power locks, and 15" alloys. THAT's IT. No cassette, no trunk or underhood light, no intermittent wipers, no cruise, manual mirrors, base cluster. I eventually added all the options in though. Quote
EurosportZ34 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 GM definately had some wierd choices in the first gens Quote
joberlee Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 I had a weird one in high school: 1989 Regal Limited 2.8 4 speed auto burgundy/ burgundy cloth Power windows, locks, keyless, power ant., AM/Fm cass. with steering wheel controls 15 inch soccer ball alloys wide black trim with red stripe and blacked out tail light trim split bench w/power drivers seat column shift base digital cluster no fog lights Oh yeah and it had a nice big hood ornament Holy crap those base clusters sucked, odometer actually ment backwards over 1000 miles in 2 minutes, while stopped!

Justin Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 Friend of mine has a weird '90 SL. Base cluster, bench seat, no power antenna, base stereo. Elec. climate control, DIC, power windows/locks/trunk. My first '89 CS was base, no power windows or locks, hubcaps, but it had power antenna. Quote
Euro Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 mines not really a wierd combo, cept the kinda rare gold color. Something thats unusual and REALLY ugly is a Z34 thats torch red and my interior color...gold/beige I also hate how some Euros have no spoiler whatsoever, or they have the luggage rack Quote
BurneroftheRice Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 i saw a Z-34 for sale at a local lot that was Red with the tan interior, it wierded me out for a second to see the tan interior on lumina. Also some asshat had gone and painted the front underspoiler, hood louvers and front grill black....and they didnt even do a good job on it. :? Quote
99RegalGS Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 My Cutlass has a kinda weird option thing 91 Cutlass International has everything except: DIS (now added) HUD (now added) Automatic transmission Rear defroster Now why the hell it doesn't have a rear defroster is beyond me. :? Quote
Justin Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 I didn't know you could get elec. climate control without rear defrost, that's really weird. Quote
dbtk2 Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 Well, this is the weirdest of them all. I saw a TSTE with: 2 Doors Painted Bright Yellow With a 5 speed no power windows no power locks no power mirrors no power seats no power steering no steering wheel controls drum brakes all the way around tape deck no moonroof no DIC crosslace wheels a spoiler no rear defrost digital climate control no cruise control column shift bench seat in front HUD A/C, but no heat and it had keyless entry Then I woke up from my weird ass dream, and I still had a regularly equipped TSTE. I've never really seen an oddly equipped w-body and noticed it. That would be one funky car though... Shawn Quote
patgizz Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 91 cutlass supreme 4 door. 3.4L DOHC/FE3 buckets/floor shift 16" international wheels... manual seat manual windows manual locks power mirrors base radio almost as stripped down as you can get. Quote
NORBI Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 What i found weird once was a 93 Cutlass Supreme with a 3.1 engine, base cluster and cloth seats. Seats were the ones i really was surprised because i thought that all convertibles had leather seats. OOHhh yea and one of those ugly base radios that Cieras came with and it was for sale for 6k Quote
digitaloutsider Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 1990 Grand Prix LE sedan 3.1 Sport rally cluster Premium sound with 5-EQ cassette Power locks, mirrors, and windows Base taillights No Z7M front end Column shift 60/40 split bench Quote
supreme_style21 Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 There was an 89-90 GP on ebay a long time ago. 100% base, but it had a HUD. Quote
99RegalGS Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 I didn't know you could get elec. climate control without rear defrost, that's really weird. Yeah. It's the only cutlass I've seen one like this. I'm temped to put in a rear defroster though. It's prewired, just need the rear window and a new auto climate control box. Quote
Crimson Fury Z Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 i've seen a few cutty 3.1 convertibles :? and to verify the 3.1, the dual exhaust were the single outlet w/that dividerin the middle, not dual outlets. Quote
rudefyet Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 a friend of mine had a base 90 GP LE with the appearance package (fogs, etc.) and had factory dual exhausts, yet it had crank windows and stuff Quote
Lee Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 My 91 4dr Regal Custom is a bit different now but it came with: 14" steel wheels, FE1 suspension, base everything.....but did have floor shift and (expensive at the time) PMIII anti-loc brakes. Now it's Gran Sported up a bit but finally getting old. Never got the brakes fixed yet. Maybe in summer. Quote
BurneroftheRice Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 wasnt there a Grand Prix posted on ebay a while ago that had the 3.4 in it and didnt have any ground effects, ie B4U? that might be an odd combo Quote
Aaron Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 I could have sworn Lumina Z34s came ONLY with a grey or red interior, no tan. I need to see pics of this. Quote
EurosportZ34 Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 Also some asshat had gone and painted the front underspoiler, hood louvers and front grill black....and they didnt even do a good job on it. :? i HATE it when people do that to Z34s and GTPs Quote
89GPSE Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 I had an 1988 GP SE 2DR 2.8 with every option, Lugagge rack, Power Windows, Power locks, Keyless entry, Sun Roof, Dual exhaust, 6 speaker sound, AM/FM tape deck with EQ, leather seats, quad buckets, 14 way Power seats. I wondered if you would spend money on every option in 88', would you hate yourself for not waiting a year and getting a TGP in 89'. Quote

I wondered if you would spend money on every option in 88', would you hate yourself for not waiting a year and getting a TGP in 89'. I doubt it, as a TGP would've cost significantly more. Base price was around $28k IIRC. Shawn Quote
