Hey guys, thanks for taking time to watch, comment and give our video a thumbs up! Stay tuned for Part 2 of this revival coming up December 30th!
I own a 85 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme brogham. Had it since highschool I just turned 40 in August. I still keep it up and running . I've rolled the odometer twice already. 😂
Awesome! Cool that you still drive it! Thanks for watching!
My first car was an 85 as well. I just turned 40 and wanna find another one as a project. It's a great car
That’s great that you all saved a good G body from certain destruction. I have an 87 442 with 18k original miles. Cutlasses are getting harder and harder to find.. Keep saving them guys👍👍👍
Wow sounds like a nice car! Thanks for watching
Wow. Good save! I had the 4 door cutlass in high school but always wanted a 2 door g-body like this.
Thanks for watching!
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. Yes, I've owned and driven it for some 38 years now.
Wow what an awesome story! Original owner!
@@ClassicGBodyGarage And thank You for selling me some parts 3-4 years ago that keep mine looking nice and running well.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage My original owner 2004 JEEP Grand Cherokee just turned 187,000. My girlfriends original owner 2004 Honda Accord is at 387,000 owner driven miles. Her's has all original drivetrain (nothing rebuilt) and the body and interior look like a cared for 5 year old car. Buy what you really like and maintain it .
I had to take my ‘78 Cutlass Supreme to our local Pick A Part in the late 90’s. I wish I knew how to fix it then. I miss that car!
I remember as a kid in the 1990z those were the most stolen cars in fresno. Its nice that you guys are still fixing up old g body's!
They still get stolen unfortunately
Solid g body's are hard t9 find up here in Canada. First I saved my 78 malibu from the stock car/drag car guys, then from rust.
Yep same with in Norther Ohio where i am from. I drove about 6 hours south to get this one. They stay cleaner there in Kentucky.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage yeah yer not too far away. You'd never drive 6 hrs north to get one ;)
Iv had my 84 since 2010 but sadly fell apart from me being a kid, so now I'm trying to restore it back to its golden days
Give it the TLC it deserves!
@@ClassicGBodyGarage I am, I already got original color interior done and working on a LS swap right now
Bro love what you do saving my 😂 favorite car from the crusher this episode reminds me of my 85 4dr I saved and still have 10yrs later keep these cars rolling don't crush em yall
Gotta save the Gbodys! Thanks for watching!
And of course the transmission pan has a hole in it. They always do that at pick and pull./part drives me crazy and they also bend every driveshaft when they pick it up with the forklift haha
Yep they pop them to drain the fluid but still had a bunch in it. Had to put another pan on it.
Another, better condition, G-Body saved 😊 glad you are back posting videos again!
Thanks man. I need to keep this up. Love posting Gbody content for you all!
Nice save!! I love the old Cutlasses !!!
Right on!
Great to see the videos coming again Brian. Nice work!
I owned a 1986 Cutlass Salon in the late 1990s. I also owned a 1981 Grand Prix in the mid 1980s. Thank you for saving these great cars.
Right on! Gotta do what we can to preserve them!
@@ClassicGBodyGarage I currently own a 1990 Thunderbird Super Coupe with 65k miles.
Nice car.
Bro fix the Monte Carlo the cures on that car are Awesome!😃👍🏼
Having owned dozens of Cutlass' through the 90's, it's still hard to wrap my mind around them being in a junkyard
Agree!
Who ever junked this car sorry to say it but they r dumb these r gold mines … I bought 1 with a bad engine spun bearings out with lame 3.8 and in with a vortec 5.7 I have on a stand n automatically value goes up 🤑 .. any way Brian awesome video save the cutty n keep the G body rolling like u say🤙🏼
They are not meaningful to everyone, just an old car. Thats where we step in!
I have a 65 Ford and I give it life with a 572 big block Chevy
That’s my local Pull a Part. Pulled many of engines and other parts from there.
I bought some taillights and other parts from Classic G Body several years ago to keep my original owner 1985 Cutlass on the road and looking nice.
I just snatched up a white 80' cutlass 2 days ago. Ttops, buckets/console car. Pretty solid car. No motor/trans. We'll see what ends up in it.
I'll take it! 😂
Great job getting her back running.
Thanks for watching!
I knew I recognized that junkyard!
Another one saved, great job Brian and Frank, that is a nice solid 86 Cutlass, blows my mind someone was gringos to junk it!
Thanks!!
very lucky man that was a good find and it runs too keep us updated
Part 2 coming up soon!
That interchange part catalog on the computer is a good idea for peope that dont know .
Yeah def a nice feature!
I had a minty 84 with the famous ticking v6 and broken motor mount.
Great rescue 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Thanks for watching!
Nice job Brian. You sure know your stuff. Very knowledgeable. I'm a Cutlass fan myself.
Thanks for watching!
Crazy someone got rid of that for scrap.... n the monte these are gems in city of detroit
Gbodys are gems all over 👍

You didn't save it from the crusher, you denied it the destiny that was meant to be. 😂😂😂😂

Good save boss 👍 man I'm always watching big fan
Thanks for watching!
I have the same car I has a tbi 350 going carb what's a good electric fuel pump the tbi engine has a spot for Manual pump/ but not sure that engine takes a m pump ? but I'm stuck right there I want to get it running bad it's project car for my son
@@mr.cutlass87delgadillo.d45 Are you sure the fuel pump spot doesn't just have a block off plate? I know my TBI has a plate that you remove. If not then Holley makes some good pumps.
G-body❤️😍
Thanks for watching!
hes back
Thanks for watching!
Ain't this in Louisville KY? That roll back is all over the place.
yeah and that roll back was awesome, i had to get it on video.
I really appreciate you making these videos. They are fun to watch.
I appreciate you watching!
Yeah I miss my 1984 Cutlass Supreme it was tan with brown interior. Unfortunately it had the 3.8 l V6 I bought it with a blown engine and transmission in 1990 for $150 and I bought it parts car and put the other engine at tranny and it drove it for six or seven years I think I got my money sort out of it.
Sure did
Man its a shame you couldnt save Monte Carlo as well? If you pull it would have let me rescue it i would have
rebuilt the front end on that Monte Carlo
Yep it sucks but can't save them all. Frame was bent on it which is why I passed. Has rust issues too.
Could you do a gbody steering column removal video? (86 regal)
Yeah for sure! Thanks for the suggestion.
a Cutlass Supreme brougham with without power windows is unusual.
This one had no options.
My 81 only has air and tilt nothing else
I’ve been wondering where you been
Still doing things but mostly on Instagram and Facebook.
Love your videos! I always wondered: What do they do with the cube after they put the car in the crusher?
They flatten the cars and stack on a truck, they don't cube them.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage Ok. What happens to them after they get flattened?
Guessing they get hauled off to a shredder.
I take the cutlass
❤ remind s me of when I was a kid..you selling it???
Watch part 2 of the series to finish it out and see what we did with it.
i would have preferred the luxury sport Monty over that Cutdog. A real shame on that LS header panel
It was more than just the header panel, frame was bent which is why we didn't save that one as well.
I am a G Body fan. My father had a 1979 Cutlass Supreme. Do you sell any of your cars, and do you have anything to sell now.
I sell them and post them on the brands Instagram and Facebook pages. Links are in the description.
BTW THAT MONTE LOOKED FIXABLE SINCE LAST YEAR AND AERO HEADLIGHTS. LOOKS LIKE A TRANNY SWAP FOR. OLDS AND MINOR BODYWORK NEEDED WE BOUGHT NEW 84 FROM DEALER VUTLASS GOR 7300 BUCKS
It was fixable but had a bent frame in the front. Needed too much and the Cutlas was the better choice.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage as time goes by the g body will become scarce so plan your assets to fix accordingly..as a kid I ad 3 63 to 66 impalas SS SQUIRRLED AWAY SOLD PARTS BUT BY 70 HAD UTO GO INTO CHEVELLES
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.
Same here had a 63 Impala SS hit in quarter as kid in 1966! Cheeper to buy new than fix got it to run but had to sell
It and parts I hAD GOT. NEW TAILLIGHTS WERE. 2.45 A PIECE
....A SHAME.
Really he pulled the whole column out why wouldn’t you just pull the steering wheel the turn signal switch and remove the ignition switch and just start it with a 10 mil socket or pliers or something? Good to see you back on UA-cam anyways.
Agree, not hard to swap a cylinder but had a good column on hand from the yard and was best to swap in that situation
ahh ok i figured there had to be some other reason@@ClassicGBodyGarage
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
Yep I know and have done many like that but in this situation it was easier to swap columns.
The Monte Carlo can be saved to lol
Had a bent frame from the front end hit.
When was the smog system introduced? I have a 79 Elco. Having a hard time w emissions here in Co. According to emissions main office my car needs smog pump n everything that goes with it. Some people say my year is excluded but office says different. I've been searching n buying smog stuff for my car n it's freaking confusing me. Help 😵
To my knowledge, 1980 was first year for all US and anything prior it was considered California emissions as I have seen many pre 79 with Smog pumps that say California on the shroud decal
Thank you boss ✌
How bad was the Monte? I would have saved that one. Good save tho'.
Had a bent frame fr9m the front hit.
Wow talk about super clean interior and all over car my dream car would b love a Buick regal or Pontiac grand prix of same or similar year by any chance is the amplifier and head unit available if you decide not to use would love to take them off your hands she is going to clean up very nice don't make em like that anymore
I think I still have the radio and amp. Email is in the description if you want to contact me.
yall in louisville
We were
Whats left from the monte??
It was placed in the yard when we were done. Was about how you see it.
My cutlass got stolen 2 years ago never found any chance this one be for sale
We gave this one away at our annual Gbody Classic Car Show. Follow along on the brands Instagram page as I do sell cars.
Curious y didnt you just replace the key cylinder instead of the whole column
Was easier to swap it in this particular situation.
Is it for sale I’m in Cleveland

SAVE THEM G-BODYs!..that one was too good of shape to be destroyed...shame on you😢
If you're referring to the Monte, the frame was bent from the front end accident among several other issues. The Cutlass was a much better foundation to save.
Fix both if not fix the monte carlo
Monte had a bent frame in the front.
Do you sale any of them
Follow along on the brands Instagram page as I do sell cars.
*C'Mon! Neither one of you guys know how to crack a GM column right above the turn signal lever, pop that spring out and push the slide forward, column unlocks and ignition cranks....I've heard* 👀
Why destroy a column when you can put an ignition cylinder in it? We had a column on hand and doesn't take long to swap. I replaced the cylinder in the other we removed.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage *Because breaking 💩 is fun, besides that you know you have 872 of those columns stashed away!*
@@mostlypeacefulmisterputin Even if I had 873 of them I still won't break a good column...
@@ClassicGBodyGarage *You're no fun! But I'll keep watching anyway* 😂
Appreciate you watching!
They really selling used coolant?! 🤣🤣 struggle city
Its expensive new and why not if you are using it in a beater daily?
@ClassicGBodyGarage expensive new? 10 bucks for a 3l jug is expensive? What about all the oil, coolant, contaminants in that used stuff?
Thats cool, go ahead and buy yours new but some prefer used and it sells well there which is why they sell it. They also filter out any debris. Besides, a little oil in coolant isn't going to harm anything
@ClassicGBodyGarage that's wild. Trans fluid? Okay that's expensive. But coolant? I'm not making fun or disrespecting to save a buck, I have a junkyard truck motor In my car hacked together. I just genuinely didn't know used Coolant was a think
Pull a part is not supposed to let outside people work on cars in their yard
This is true and we didn't. We brought the car to a friend's shop to work on it and also pulled parts off the Monte in the yard just like anyone else does.
That's an 85 not an 86! 86 had a third brake light in rear window
You are correct on 85 vs 86 and the brake light but the light was missing. I added it back from the Monte.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage I know some 85 cars that had third brake lights. Some 85 Ford Tauruses, Tempos had them, some 85 A Body GM cars too like the Celebrity's, Cavaliers too!
Loud background music, ugh.
😂😂😂😂 you can mute those parts if you don't like it. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Why bother pulling the column for a 10-minute lock cylinder change.
Because this was the option at the time.
Knew it was my louisville yard as soon as you pulled up
i thought you fell off the face of UA-cam
I did and jumped back up. Thanks for watching!
I would never work for pull apart again they don't treat people with respect don't leave your shoes in the car lol they will sell that too there prices are too high rip off city lol😂😂😂
Def not what I have learned about the company. They are nothing but great people and company to work for.
Nah ugly body I own a 86 Monte Carlo LS they sold it to Scrap yard for metal I have it for 14 years now is a restored beauty it never had any rust
LS ?, I hope you put a monte carlo ss front end on it, otherwise it won't stand out
@@jaysmith8329 nah my 💩 is fine original color metallic blue and I own a 90 Ford Mustang convertible Menace to society dude
@@i-tiyahman6519 Are you going to star in any UA-cam Mustang Fails ?
Merry Christmas, nice to know others still like older vehicles
@@jaysmith8329 I’m a certified mechanic I’m 63 I got the tools 🧰 the time if you can’t wrench 🔧 don’t get involved with classic cars 🚗 but they are fun and when u drive a lot of people want to be friends besides is a different feeling they handle different
