Hello, my name is Brian. I just bought this car a couple days ago for 4000.00 I think I scored a nice car for the money, everything is checking out good so far. I am new to the site, since I now own an Awesome Olds! I love it!1964 Oldsmobile F85 012.jpg

Welcome to CO! That's a sweet looking ride, at any price. It looks really clean, I would say that was a steal at 4k. Congrats.

Thanks Man. Im thinking the same thing.

Plus, the guy I bought it from just did a brand new front disc brake conversion, it has power brakes, and steering, just an enjoyable car to drive. No trailer queen here. Lol

Even better! What work does it need? If any?

Brians64f85

None! Just a driver, and thats me. Lol. Runs and drives great, Its a little down on power. It currently has a 71 Buick 350 in it, I have no idea why. Runs as good as a low comp. 71 350 can. I have plans to swap it out this winter. But for now just cruisin and enjoying life.

Well, that's different, finding a Buick engine in there. Tells me the car may have originally been a V6 car since those were also Buick engines.

A suitable Olds V8 will not be hard to find and build.

Is it silver or light green?

Brians64f85

It was originally a 6 cylinder car. The color is original Meadow Green.

Congrats! Great cars to build

Looks like a very nice car. Is it from your area all its life or from a rust free climate. Be sure to store it away in the winter and drain the coolant, if it came from warm climate.

Yes a nice Oldsmobile will fit in there very nice and easy. 350, 400, 403, 425, 455, which ever Olds engine you heart desires. Don't go to the other side.

Congrats on your new toy. I bought a V6 out of a similar car years ago for a jeep. The buick 300 V8 was a common swap in those bygone days
