93Cruiser Posted May 19, 2017 Report Posted May 19, 2017 My wife and I just got this nice 93 vert at Mecum's Indy auction. Came with the boot, convertible supplement book and original top maintenance VHS Tape. Had been in storage in South Dakota since '06. Having it checked by my mechanic to make it road ready for her. We had a '92 vert in the exact same color combo a few years ago but it had not been taken car of by the PO so we sold it when we moved. She loved driving it top down so when this one came to the block I couldn't say no to her. I think she likes me..now.. rich_e777 and 94 olds vert 2 Quote
Imp558 Posted May 19, 2017 Report Posted May 19, 2017 Beautiful car and a great picture! Welcome! Quote
rich_e777 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Posted May 20, 2017 Very nice, I have a white 95 I`m also getting ready for the road. I saw a red Vert with a white top once watching the Mecum auction on TV. Quote
MemphisMan Posted May 20, 2017 Report Posted May 20, 2017 Welcome back to the Cutlass vert weirdness. If you ever get that top maintenance VHS tape digitized, there might be some folks on here who could use a copy. Beautiful car man. sean1991olds 1 Quote
Nas Escobar Posted May 20, 2017 Report Posted May 20, 2017 Welcome to the forum. That car looks sharp. Is it white inside too? Quote
Imp558 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) Welcome to the forum. That car looks sharp. Is it white inside too? Maroon, looks sharp. Is it a 3.4? Edited May 20, 2017 by Imp558 Quote
93Cruiser Posted May 20, 2017 Author Report Posted May 20, 2017 Yes. It's a 3.4. But it's kinda noisy. The mechanic I took it to claims it's coming from the A/C compressor but I'm not so sure after reading some of the information here. It also had the poor stopping issue. I've already had him do the front brakes completely but I haven't picked it up yet to see if it helps. I'm also a little suspicious now of the car itself because all of the badging is missing on both sides. It may be no big deal. I hope so. Quote
rich_e777 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Posted May 20, 2017 If it only has the DOHC emblem on the side front, mine is the same, my base 1994 coupe has the Cutlass Supreme badges all over it, or did before I took them off for paint. If you want some for the hell of it I might could spare a few. I want the classic cursive emblems for my Vert anyways. Quote
Euro Posted May 24, 2017 Report Posted May 24, 2017 Welcome! Saw that listing and it looked like a nice car from the photos. Quote
93Cruiser Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Posted May 25, 2017 Thank you for all the nice compliments. the noise was the compressor so we switched it out for a bypass pulley for now and the brakes are good now. rich_e777... let me know what you'd like for the badges and we'll work something out. BTW..Does anyone recognize the wheels? I have no idea and I'd like to know. Quote
Billyvannuys Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Wow! Just $,3000 For a cherry looking vert at Mecum auction. That's a very good indicator that these cars aren't worth much to those professionals who value old cars. Hmm. Curious. Great find for you , though. Congrats.

Nas Escobar Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 In its defense, the car doesn't look to be 100% factory. That may factor in. A fully original muscle car will bring more money in than someone else's project. Psych0matt 1 Quote
Galaxie500XL Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 How many miles? That can be a big factor in value. Quote
93Cruiser Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Posted May 25, 2017 That photo was a screenshot from the online video before the bidding ended. We actually give $4000 for it. It has 70000 miles. I checked it over as best I could and other than the wheels and lack of badging it seems to be all factory. I guess I'm going to have to run a carfax to find out. Quote

If you did digitize it, I'd gladly host it on my site! -- Also, welcome to the forum!! Quote

If it's in decent shape, wheels and badges aren't really a huge issue imo Quote

Psych0matt Posted June 3, 2017 Report Posted June 3, 2017 Google the email address that raises more questions ! I was referring to an older member who would always talk about different cars he owned with no proof. Nice guy in person though. Quote
93Cruiser Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Posted June 5, 2017 I got a chance to look at the video and it's a sales promotional tape for dealers about the convertible. Quote
