IF i remember correctly, those were supercharged or could be right? This could be a fun FUN lil conversation. Post up some pics, and some thoughts on what you'd like, I'm pretty sure I can help with looks and a lil with performance...and where are you in the states...because that makes a huge difference in the availability of certain things ;)

Performance
Base Number of Cylinders: 6 Base Engine Size: 3.8 liters
Base Engine Type: V6 Horsepower: 170 hp
Max Horsepower: 4800 rpm Torque: 225 ft-lbs.
Max Torque: 3200 rpm Drive Type: FWD
Turning Circle: 40.7 ft.

here are the specs

I dont have any pics but it looks just like this but green http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/1...bre.1329-T.jpg

I would like to start with appearance first but dont know any websites or anything to order from I Live In Maine so any help would be appreciated I Love The Car But I Hate the old granny car appearance

Performance: LS1 swap or a 3800 supercharged swap like mentioned above.

Handling, slotted vented rotors, paint your calipers a complementing color. Good set of shocks like an Edelbrock or Bilstien

Looks, a nice set of 17" 5 spoke wheels always dress up apperance nicely. Tint the windows.

supercharger would be your best bet unless u got a small budget. If so you could get a better air intake and a better exhaust system. I got a better air intake and exhaust on my 95 bonniville that i used to own. That gave it a nice little performance boost. 3800 engine is really nice look at grand prix and such to see what they have done.

any websites to purchase these things?

I'd do a little reseach on Pontiac Bonneville, Olds eighty eight,olds LSS and Delta 88 they are all the same platform (h-Body) the bonneville and olds LSS were ''sport'' models so you might retrofit some parts from them, and maybe even take a superchager from them if you are lucky enough. But as they told the 3800 must have an aftermarket for it..!

otherwise take a look on ebay always a good place to take a look

No shit! so do I!

You guys both live in maine and I never knew? What part, if your in the northern part, I may have a bunch of guys to hook you up with, I'm from the county, parents own a salvage yard up there, and the old man would give you a great deal on anything he has/and any work he does. As far as exterior, I'll have to wait til I get home, to look at the colors and body lines, but I'll see what I can find for you. I've seen a few done right in the south, while I was stationed there, but it takes time and effort, and yeah, whats the budget?

where abouts in maie you live? i have about 3 grand right now

where abouts in maine is his salvage yard I'm really looking for a superchaarged 3800 and If you guys could give me any tips on painting my car I would appreciate it I want to do it myself flat black but dont know what I should do

Junkyard is in mars hill/presque Isle area, great white north. After looking and looking to try to help, this is what I've found. You should buy another lil performance vehicle, heck again, junkyards there with alot of cars there. Just ask the old man, he's got alot of projects out that way. Or in hte southern part of the state, an old gbody, (monte, el camino, something like that) with lil to no rust that you can make a summer driver and use the lesabre as a winter beater ,just my two cents on that one. If your going to keep the sabre, tint the windows, some different rims, maybe a little bit lower profile tires, and a drop, cold air intake. ect. It'll cost you and the more you do the more your oging to need to do, like tranny upgrades, cv axles upgraded, ect. Just, again, my thoughts. If you want to paint it, heres something that might interest you being in maine, is looking up on the internet the "50 dollar paint job" A bunhc of people have done it, its easy and it works pretty well from what I've seen. Need ne more info pm me, and where in maine do you live eh?


heres a link to a message board for the car...
