Is the G-body Cutlass Supreme collectible?
Quick Answer
Yes, increasingly. The 1978-1988 rear-drive G-body Cutlass Supreme is a hot platform now, popular with drag racers, lowriders, and restomod builders for its light body and easy V8 swaps. The 1983-1984 Hurst/Olds and the 1985-1987 4-4-2 versions are the most desirable.
The downsized, rear-drive Cutlass Supreme has crossed from used car to genuine modern classic.
Why it is wanted
It is a light, body-on-frame G-body that takes a small-block easily, which makes a clean one a great base. The notchback coupe is the desirable body.
The special editions
The 1983-1984 Hurst/Olds and the 1985-1987 4-4-2 (both 307-powered) brought the badges back and lead the market. Watch for the fragile 350 diesel on early cars.
