Pontiac is traditionally given the credit for creating the muscle car on its tempest platform. What is little known is that Oldsmobile, even with its reputation of being a practical, highly optioned family oriented car, was stride by stride with Pontiac in the performance ring. Oldsmobile's F85 was light-weight, sturdy and gave a tremendous platform for applying horsepower. Oldsmobile began restyling all of their full-size models in 1965. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1965 F 85 Oldsmobile...Cutlass for your consideration. Its v8 engine fires right up and performs well and is paired with an automatic transmission. This very straight and solid example is a factory AC car with an all original interior. The interior shows some wear and use, but hey - it's original. All the glass is good and the windows go up and down properly. It rides on 17 inch American Racing wheels. It has 4 wheel drum brakes. Other highlights include dual exhaust with Pilot Motorsports chrome tips, Pro Tach tachometer, wood steering wheel, wood steering wheel, Edelbrock carburetor, AM/FM/Cassette player, power brakes and power steering, aftermarket oil pressure/amp/temperature gauges. General Motors encouraged completion within their divisions back in the 50's and 60's, and Oldsmobile was at the top of the heap when offering the intersection of performance and luxury. This is very evident in the Cutlass as they are vastly different then their competing cousins. What an opportunity to acquire pure class in a GM car.
