66 f-85

This car has been in my family its whole life. It's been painted once to the same colors it had from the factory. It has the 330 Jet Fire with 83K original miles and the interior is original as well. It does have a worn spot in the front seat on the drivers side. Runs and drives great as well. Metal is still solid on the car. It also has the 2 speed ST-300 tranny. It's currently on craigslist but I feel it would find a better home on here. If interested you can E-mail me at jay.jr@hotmail.com. Asking 7500 OBO
Thank you.

Curious

Nice car & good luck with the sale.

Why did you change the origninal ST-300 2 speed to a powerglide?

Or is it the orignal trans & you just do not realize it? Is your switch pitch not working?

It's got the 2 speed tranny in it when it was new so it may be the St-300. The switch pitch does work also.

Glide vs jetaway

Well the glide does not use a switch pitch so clearly it is not a glide. The presence of the original jetaway trans adds value to your car. You advertised it as having a glide....better change that.

Again good luck....nice car. I had a 66 F-85 this same color with fawn interior & remember it fondly.

That's a common misconception. Despite having two speeds, the ST300 has noting in common with the Powerglide. Olds never used a Powerglide.
