ALEX my gpa had a 89 SHO that was passed to me. They have butterflies that open at 4500 RPM in the Yamaha engine. You should race one. You should get one. They are super fast and sound amazing. 0-60 in 6.2 you olds is 8.6 but they have the same quart mile times so the sho is heavier.

My father was a GM employee. He was on a team of employees who were tasked with developing the heads-up display and push buttons on the steering wheel. I was a kid when the Cutlass was being developed. I remember him coming home and telling me about the cool tech on the car. I am so excited about this project. If you decide to sell it, I would love to buy it for my dad! It was a car he always wanted, but it was never in the cards for him.

Love that you love this car! Quick tip on the stalling condition; You may have fixed it with the ICM as they were prone to do that, but if the problem resurfaces it may actually be cold solder joints in the PCM. If you encounter the issue again, tap the PCM with the palm of your hand while it is running. If it alters the way the engine runs, the PCM needs replacement. If that happens, don't forget to take the PROM (some refer to it as MEMCAL) out of the original to swap into the new one. The palm tap test was actually issued by a GM service bulletin/service information. If I remember correctly, the PCM is on the passenger side frame rail, forward of the strut tower. If it's not there, it will be under the dash near the glovebox. Another place that liked to cause driveability issues was the intake gaskets. Due to the extreme angle of the intake to head surfaces, the intake bolts sometimes like to loosen up and the gasket will get damaged causing a vacuum leak. Lastly, when the oil pump drive seal leaks (if it doesn't now, it will!), you are supposed to remove the rear cylinder head to replace the seal for it. BUT!! If you get a Chevy 350 distributor gasket, scarf cut the gasket, slather the gasket with liquid teflon sealant, lift the oil pump drive up enough to get the distributor gasket around and under it, then seat the drive back down and tighten the clamp, it will solve the leak without head removal. The oil pump drive is under the throttle body and is where the distributor used to be on the old 2.8/3.1L carbureted or throttle body injected version of this engine. You will know it is leaking when there is oil all over the top of the transmission. Sincerely, ex-Oldsmobile dealer tech 1997-2001.

This car was legendary on the NASCAR tracks and the Drag Strips in its racing body shells. In NASCAR it was driven by many of legends such as Harry Gant in the Skoal #33. But on the drag strip it was every bit as famous with pro stock drivers like Warren Johnson and his son Kurt, Larry Morgan, Mark Pawak, and Steve Schmidt. And even the funny car drivers like John Force, Cruz Pedregon, Jim Epler, Gary Densham, Del Worsham, and Jerry Caminito.

As a former 3.4 DOHC owner (93 Lumina Z34) before you do any more high RPM pulls, CHECK THE TIMING BELT. 60-100k miles is when they give up, and even though it's technically a non-interference engine, with any wear the valves can kiss. Then it's a way bigger problem. Save yourself the head and heart ache. Check the timing belt!

@@roberthartmann782 You would think, but every other 60° V6 from GM is timing chain. The 3.4 DOHC is kind of the black sheep of the family. It also technically has a timing chain too, going to an intermediate shaft (dummy cam) that drives the belt. So depending on how deep down the DOHC rabbit hole he's gone, there's conflicting info that can be confusing.

The fact this has a 5 speed is amazing. Not a GM guy, but these cars always had a half decent look for an early 90's era styling. The olds and Buicks of this era had quirks for sure, but they build quality of this era was decent. Especially for the Buick Centuries and Olds variants. Shame it's not a 3800 V6 however...the 3400's were no where near as good as the 3800! A olds like that would be a fun daily driver but that one deserves to be protected and some love.

Then she got a 73 cutlass that a local race car driver backed out of after custom ordering it with no ac, radio or carpet and with a posi rear end. Rocket 350 4bbl. Dual exaust. That was my first car. Thanks mom - I still have dreams about that car.

I'm a big Olds fan, and I didn't realize they made anything cool in the 90s. I always thought the last cool Cutlass was the early to mid 80s. Now I want one of these!

I had one of these! Ours was a 1989 Black metallic model. We loved it and my wife never forgave me when I traded it on a 90 454SS. It was a great car for the times

Alex! I love your channel! The Oldsmobile is such a cool piece of Americana. I really like these types of time capsules. I’m currently rolling a C5. It was too early in the year run (99) to have a HUD so I put one in myself. It needed a gauge cluster too. Your channel is really fun and I’ve recommended it to my friends who are all Hot Rodders. Looking forward to following the resurrection of this iconic piece of history! Great luck!

There slowly starting to grow back on the road. But when I was growing up new a few that were stored awhile. One of them was red. Other well wouldn't surprise me if it's the one you have here but this one never saw snow. My grandma wants had a 98 Buick Riviera. That car kind of reminds me of this era also interesting body shape.

My father had a mid-90’s Cutlass Supreme with the V6 upgrade. He sold it shortly after changing the spark plugs. You have to drop one side of the front axle to change a couple of the rear plugs. It was fun though.

Back in the day These had been marketed through Opel dealeships in Europe. From time to time some used still appears in ads. I also knew an old lad who had retired from Canada and moved back to the Old Continent with a same kinda early'90s Cutlass Supreme. Some years later he traded it in to a then brand new 95-01 Monte Carlo also brought from overseas to Europe. I made to source a '96 Lumina. Generally, W-Bodies are so so smooth.

I bought an 89 Cutless Supreme International. It was a new/leftover. It was a beautiful black metallic color. I did not have good luck. I had tons of things replaced or repaired under warranty. Transmission repair, paint peeling off, 2 window regulator/motors, power antenna, water pump, interior dash pad, ignition system, alternator, anti lock brake accumulator, brake switch, and MAF sensor (those left you dead in road then). There was other stuff, but i traded it right after warranty expired. Car was gorgeous and got a lot of comments, but my worst car for reliability.

I had a cutlass with this exact setup other than being silver. 1 thing to know about these engines is to always get them to operating temperature before beating on them. Otherwise, they don't hold up. They are a fun, and peppy engine for the day. I also had a Lumina Z34 with the 3.4 dohc and manual trans.

I both worked on the development of the W-cars and I owned 2 of them (both Grand Prixs) and they were great cars! Only problem was with the rear disc brake caliper slide pins getting corroded after several Michigan winters, but easy enough to repair. Nice to see how robust your Cutlass is.
