NORBI Posted November 29, 2002 Report Posted November 29, 2002 Today for the 3rd time in my life i saw a older model of Cutlass Ciera convertible. One time i saw one on ebay and two times on street i didnt know they made them convertible or was that just custom. :shock: Quote
MARK 91 Z34 Posted November 29, 2002 Report Posted November 29, 2002 you sure it wasnt the Landau/ Ragtop ?? i know for a fact they didnt make them in vert's.. Quote
Brian P Posted November 29, 2002 Report Posted November 29, 2002 those are the custom made ones, I saw and 86 Le Sabre coupe as a convert!!!!! Quote
NORBI Posted November 30, 2002 Author Report Posted November 30, 2002 I am 100% sure it was a convertible, and even saw one on ebay while ago with a top down, i think it would be cool to own something so rare if i had it i would be taking care of it but this guy didnt take care of it at all i just feel bad sometimes for something that people have and dont realize it how rare it is.

Guest RedCutlassSL Posted November 30, 2002 Report Posted November 30, 2002 wow, is that one ugly sonofabitch. you gett get me to drive it if you'd pay me. it looks like a 90 year old mans pimpmobile Quote
Guest RedCutlassSL Posted November 30, 2002 Report Posted November 30, 2002 i mean you couldn't get me to drive it Quote
Brian P Posted November 30, 2002 Report Posted November 30, 2002 it's not bad for the year it's made, what 1983? Quote
ismellrealbad Posted November 30, 2002 Report Posted November 30, 2002 thats an 83?? it looks like it was made in 90 or something Quote
cstyle73 Posted December 1, 2002 Report Posted December 1, 2002 With the right rims, interior, and paint I think it would be nice. Maybe even a custom body kit would change it's whole look. I would buy it if it was around here. Quote
LukeZ34 Posted December 1, 2002 Report Posted December 1, 2002 Nope.. that's an 84. I had an 83 Cutlass Ciera before I had the lumina, the front grille's are different on the 83. Quote
cutlassdude96 Posted December 1, 2002 Report Posted December 1, 2002 If you ever watch the A-Team there was a red one on there once. Quote
godofthunder Posted December 1, 2002 Report Posted December 1, 2002 Yeah, that is an early one. Doesnt even look like a ceira to me! I had an 87 right before I totaled it (well, a granny did) and then I got the 96 Supreme. Jon Quote
NORBI Posted December 1, 2002 Author Report Posted December 1, 2002 I got to say that those Cieras are sleepers especially with 2.8 engine, my friends mom has a 87 Ciera with 2.8 and that this burns so much rubber and its much faster then my 88 CS with 2.8. We had fun couple times and pissed some rice boys with that car and they get pissed when they cant loose a GRANNY car in their fartmobiles and even on start we used to take them all the time. Quote
godofthunder Posted December 1, 2002 Report Posted December 1, 2002 Mine wasnt half bad. It had the Tech 4 motor, not the Quad4 (which i was told was crap in those cars). It woped a 2000 or 01 Hundai Tiburon. I know its not much of a race, but those things are fast, and I left him WAY behind. THe only things is that when i was foloorwing my GF or something, i would be WAY behind. It held up right nice right before it died. The week before the crash, I was getting it ready to have the exhaust replaced (muffler had fallen off and that thing sounded wicked). Good thing i didnt waste the time I like my Supreme much beter Jon Quote
LukeZ34 Posted December 1, 2002 Report Posted December 1, 2002 Mine had the 3.0 V6, and a 3 speed tranny.. god damn it was a gutlass piece of crap. But for having 128,000 miles, the paint still shined up real well, and the interior was pretty clean. I got $1800 out of it on trade for the Lumina, lol. I had a picture of it somewhere, I'll have to dig it up. Oh, I also had the original window sticker that I scanned, I'll have to find that as well. Quote

It friggin flies. My friend had one before he got a '90 (ish) 240SX 5 speed. He said the Ciera was a hell of a lot faster. Quote
cutlassdude96 Posted December 1, 2002 Report Posted December 1, 2002 my mom used to have a 92 with the 3.3 and 3 speed and it was preaty good car. Quote
godofthunder Posted December 2, 2002 Report Posted December 2, 2002 Mine lasted forever though. When It was totaled, it had about 250,000 miles on it. The only thing redone was the motor, which ended up having about 80k on it Jon Quote
Guest RedCutlassSL Posted December 2, 2002 Report Posted December 2, 2002 do you guys realize this is a grandmas car? cuz your all talking like its a corvette or something Quote
Brian P Posted December 2, 2002 Report Posted December 2, 2002 Considering they put in the same 3.8 in that little A body as they did with the Big ass H bodies, it did know how to move, and it was bulletproof and easy to work on. It only got grandma'ish at around 1989 when GM so cleverly decided to NOT REDESIGN IT FOR THE NEXT 8 YEARS bringing the grand total to: "I can put a '82 drivers door on my '96" Even consumer reports branded it as "no longer competitive" after 1991. It used to compete with the Taurus Quote
Guest RedCutlassSL Posted December 2, 2002 Report Posted December 2, 2002 Yeah, GM is kinda lethargic and stupid like that. Don't forget, the powers that be also axed the Fiero, the F-body, and axed Olds. How fast were those A-bodies with the 3.8? Quote
Brian P Posted December 2, 2002 Report Posted December 2, 2002 I imagine it probably still sucked in the 1/4 but with that freaking low end torque the 3.8 so graciously gives, that car went to 40 real quick, with 5 people in it. Interesting to say the least! Quote
