1964 Oldsmobile Cutlass 2 door no post project car for sale. This car has a small block V8 from a 1970-71 Oldsmobile. The car is mainly disassembled but all parts related to the car go with it. Title in hand.
The Good: Completely rebuilt heads done by local machine shop. New cam, lifters, rods, springs, valves, rockers, spark plugs, timing gears and chain, water pump, and belts. Rebuilt Holley carb. Complete wiring harness, new in box. All glass complete and undamaged. Wheels are nice but an unknown vintage. Changed to floor shifter from steering column.
The bad: Paint job will need to be redone. It is passable from 20ft...rough up close. The interior needs to be completely done. Comes with two front seats; one needs new foam and they both need to be recovered. The back seat bottom is in good shape but the top needs to be trimmed as it came from a larger car.
The ugly: The floor needs to be replaced. I have panels for the rear section. The drip rails need attention as does the area around the trunk.
This project would be great for someone with welding skills (I don't have them). I found out too late how much welding is required and lost interest in the project. I have sunk at least 7 grand into this project, probably more. My loss is your gain. Price is negotiable. Send me an email to discuss a time to meet if you are interested.
Local pickup in Fitchburg, MA.

Reason: Sold
Honestly the rust repairs pairs you have in the photos are not bad considering, They are nice hides me spots where you could learn how to weld and it wouldn’t need to be perfect, as a bad welder my grinder is my best friend
If its just the floors, perhaps a buddy with some welding experience could help you out. Like the others said, its a great way to learn in an area that will be covered with carpet. A cutoff wheel, sheet metal screws go a long way to get everything to fit.
Thanks! I'm more of a bolt on and electrical repair guy, but I've gained an appreciation for the skill welders have joining thin sheet metal.
I had no skills I bondo the crap out of my first hot rod 72 cutlass, my 65 I was guided by a friend but I did 85% of the work on my car except paint,
look up kids helping with projects to see my build
I bought my 64 F85 and it needed floors, trunk pans, the braces for the floors and trunk pan, the section between the tail lights, both doors and left front fender. Bought a Miller-matic 190 welder. Attended a welding class at the local High School and got started. A grinder and seam sealer are you best friends. If I remember correctly if you need to replace both floor braces, one of them requires that you pull the body off. Due to this project I pulled it anyway. Being yours is a Northern car have you had it up on lift and peaked at the frame? Mine was from Michigan and I need some minor frame repair and I reinforced some areas by boxing the frame 3/16 plate steel. Now if I chose not to go that deep into the project would have sold the car.
That came out very nice. It needs one floor support that comes with the car, the middle one. It is not in a driveable state. I never tuned the engine after rebuild, still has the break in oil in it. Picture of the tranny pan below to help id it.
Someone will buy the car as stated above that has or enjoys sheet metal fabrication and welding. I learned how to make it fun. would I do it again? NO only because I'm going to retire in a year or 2 and will not have the room...
