My original owner 1985 Olds Cutlass Supreme Brougham white with dark blue interior is still running. I bought it new in Orlando, Florida as my dependable transportation college car. I still drive it and now live just 60 miles from where I purchased it. Mine came with the landau top, Buick 3.8 and the metric TH200 with locking torque converter transmission.

I get it but you can't save them all and you need to cut your losses and that car was a loss in my opinion considering the frame. It also had plenty of rot to go along with it. Pull A Part offered me one of 2 cars and I chose the one with much more potential.

Bro all you had to do is remove the steering wheel to gain access to the ignition switch… the. Just swap it out with a new one instead of swapping out the Column
