1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass

Up for sale is my 1965 Olds Cutlass 442 tribute car. I purchased this car with the intention of restoring it but due to some personal issues I can no longer do that. I have $20,600 to date in this car. I am selling this car with no reserve to the highest bidder. My loss is your gain. Car has a 400 c.i. engine which runs great. If the car sits idle for more than a few days it sometimes requires some starting fluid or a few drops of gas in the car to start. Once primed the starts immediately and continues to start up unless it sits idle for more than a few days. Although the carb is relatively new I was told that is what is causing this issue. Auto transmission, floor shifter with console and working tachometer. Aluminum radiator and new AC compressor all work great. Great condition wheels with like new tires and air shocks. New trunk pan professionally installed correctly in primer leaving you the choice of paint or trunk splatter.New gas tank straps and sending unit. The door mirrors will need to be replaced and I am including new correct mirrors with the car (see picture with all of the new parts I will be including). All of the pot metal, moldings, and grille are excellent. The bumpers are beautiful. Although the paint looks great in the pictures it will need to be repainted if you seek a show quality paint job. The car is a five footer in the paint department. The windshield is new and side glass is all nice. The rear glass is original but when it was reinstalled they did not do a good job. The sander made some scuffs on the bottom portion. The car overall is better than a driver condition wise. The body is very straight and all of the panels line up nicely. Only light prep work will be required if the car is to be repainted.

On the inside the dash is in excellent condition. It has a classic AM/FM Oldsmobile radio replacement with custom kick panel speakers. The front arm rests are covered in red vinyl and could use a new ones from Year One. The headliner and sun visors are original and not ripped. The front and back seats have new covers. Door panels are new. He carpet is not new but is in good condition. I am including a new rear view mirror, sun visor brackets,AC heater control (probably the only one in the country) and headlight switch (the dash lights do not currently turn on). The previous owner cut the shaft on the heater control currently installed in the car to accommodate an aftermarket knob. The current heater control needs to come out and have the new one installed. The chrome is excellent. Please ask all questions before bidding due to the age of this car it is being sold as is.
