1984 Cutlass Supreme Brougham, dad bought it for $100 with a bunk transmission, dead suspension, and engine that had compression on only about 4-5 cylinders. He had a mechanic friend swap in an entire same year cadillac suspension and trans and rebuilt the engine for $700. It was a rust bucket, it was terribly slow, but damn if it wasn't a comfy cruiser that had plenty of room for friends.
Had it taken away 2 weeks in for doing 1 wheel peels over in front of JC Penny outlet. Lost it again weeks later for getting a ticket in Reynoldsburg for doing toilet paper streamers from the car.
