My Dad passed away he was working on 65 olds- body is done in black and beautiful, it's just not put together, I have around 5k-6k of brand new interior and parts still in boxes, have the motor transmission seats and everything that came off the car. I would like to sell it and need some advise on where to look and what to do? I do not believe the motor is the original but I have the one he was putting in it, he loved those cars he had a brand new one when I was about 2 yrs old.

Welcome to the site! A good start would be to post some pictures here so we can see what model of car it is, and the condition. Also pictures of the engine so we can help you identify it. Show us some of the new parts you've mentioned too. Then we can help you get a ballpark value on it. Also.... please post your location or at least a nearby large city plus state/province/country! Shipping a car that's in pieces is expensive!

With the economy down you likely will not be able to get as much money as your father invested in it, unless its something really rare. You can create a project car for sale post here for starters. You can list it on ebay, Craigslist, Autotraderonline, or several other car sites we can tell you about. But first lets identify exactly what you have. John

does it help anyone with what the title says? I will still get the pic's and all but here is whats on the title.
Olds 65 series F85 Model3867 style cv cyl o8, and I am 80 miles south of Des Moines Iowa.

Yes that helps. There will be more demand for the F85 than full sized models. Also there's lots of Olds people in the Mid-west, so that's good information too! John
