Ok this has been bugging me. The regal limited is supposed to be better than the customs (with more options) no?

 

This is the list of options on my regal-

 

Manual windows

manual locks

AM/FM radio

Power antenna

Air conditioning

PS/PB

Blue vinle interior

white pinstripe

blue paint

2.8 (standerd equip itll 89 when the 3.1 came out)

granny shifter

 

 

What the hell? :willynilly:

Not even a tape player... But still a power antenna......

 

And white93Z34 saw a blue regal CUSTOM with steelies and POWER window and POWER locks. WTF?

 

This car is tarded.

Maybe whomever ordered your car when it was new chose to "delete" those options and keep the Limited model :shrug: . I guess you'd need to find the build sheet to confirm, though...

options for my regal custom:

 

power windows

power locks

power mirrors

rear defrost

keyless entry

dual climate control

concert sound II

tape deck w/8 band equalizer

tilt wheel

A/C

ABS

non-granny shifter (needed to handle the power of the motor)

 

think that's it? can't remember if ABS & A/C were standard.

My old mechanics mom ordered the car brand new and never drove it over 55mph. But that thing was NOT babied.....I got it after it stiitng behind a house for god knows how long.... I guess they're retarded?

I think that would be a step up from the base model. The best models come the with the 3800 series 1 Tuned Port Injection, and with standerd stuff like abs, pw,pl,floor shifter, power attenna, leather seats, dual climate controls, and at least a cassette player.

What? You need a floor shifter to handle the 3800's awesome 160HP?

Nope, only the 91+ models came with the 3800 as on option.

IIRC, the only real difference between the a Custom with no added options and a limited with no added option was a different style of seats and upper door fabric coverings, and the limited had the wood pannel insert under the rear windows. Someone can correct me if i'm wrong.

I think its needed more for the MADDD 225tq that it puts out

it's the same deal with earlier Cutlass Supreme base and SL. The only real difference are some subtle exterior moldings, and fabric/seat patterns.

Its kinda like how you could get a 91-3 GTP with a base cassette and cloth seats, yet have an SE fully loaded with leather AQ9's, HUD, DIC and the CD...

GM has always been like that and still are.

 

 

my Cutlass SL has a column shifter and bench seats, and my Colorado LS had manual windows and locks, but a MP3 player

From every basic model you can change it to a fully loaded one , it took me couple years but from my 88 Cutlass SUpreme base i made it into fully loaded one with every option they had even HUD and DIC and leather, floor shifter etc.
