Been searching all the usual spots but thought I'd dangle my hook here too. Looking for a '63 F-85/Cutlass in driver condition as a father-son project with my 5 year old that's on the Spectrum. Prefer a manual, but, yeah, I know. Maybe ya got one stashed somewhere that needs a new home. Or ya know a guy that knows a guy that has been trying to sell a nice one for a while. Or maybe you stumbled upon an ad somewhere that I didn't see. Last week I came across an expired ad from a couple months back that was the right car for the right price. You know how it goes. Something about a fortnight late and the goat before the rope...
I've seen several of these in my searching for a different Oldsmobile.
I'm not sure where you are located or what you are looking to spend, but at first glance this one doesn't look too bad.
Good luck.
Thanks, man! Appreciate the lead. I’m in Pennsylvania. I’ve seen that one and it looks great... except for “needs head gaskets”. 😬 Otherwise it’s in the condition and price range I’m looking at. Top end is $10,000, but I’d be way more comfortable if I was at $8,000 or less.
Good thread over here discussing what I’m looking for, cars I’ve come across, etc.
Thanks, fellas! I couldn’t get an answer on the Pittsburgh car when I tried a few weeks ago. The red Chicago car was just too far away to consider. But...!
I tracked down a nice ‘63 in Rochester and took a trip up to look at it on Tuesday. Complete car, strong runner, and the owner is gonna address the small amount of rust (he owns a paint and body shop). I’ll be making the trip back to pick it up around Columbus Day. Appreciate all the leads!
