1964 F-85 Rare?

I have a 64 F-85 that I have owned since early 90's, stored for about 15 years. Recently lost my storage and the car needs to go. Here are the details:
California car, never saw snow or salt and SOLID throughout.
2 Door 330 ci
Factory Buckets, AC, Tach and Console.
Laquer paint to original cashimir beige in excellent condition.
The bad:
Needs interior due to the California sun. Its not horrible but actually presentable.

My thoughts that this is the closest to a 442 with mentioned options.

What is this worth and is this a rare package?

The options this 64 has were popular back in 64. I would not call it is rare. The 330 was also in most of them. If it is an F85 it is the Deluxe as it has the side chrome trim. I see it is missing wheelwell trim and fender badge.... the wheelwell trim is almost impossible to find. Still looks like a nice solid car and should be a fast sell if priced right. Value is determined at sale time and what you will let it go for. If it were me I would start at 5000.00 and work down from there.... just my opinion.

I think 5k is a little low, if the body is truly rust free, I'm thinking I'd put it on evilbay, with a 7500 reserve.

You guys are all dreaming. A '64 F-85 (not Cutlass) in this condition is worth maybe $3000.

Since its a hardtop, it is a Cutlass. And its worth more than 3 grand. Not much more because its an Olds, but its rust free, complete, and is a 2 door A body.

If you're in the 'rust belt', I'd agree with the $7500 asking price, and start with Craigslist, as a local guy would be more interested in looking at it right away.

One man's junk is another man's treasure

I would like to see some pictures of the trunk, floors and the front and rear window channels. If those are rust free ( not worried about surface rust) and pictures of the interior. Hows the drive train? If all good I would put the car on evilbay with a 7k reserve, feel the market out you can always re-list it. Be real nice if you state someone could drive it to the burger stands on Saturday night while figuring out what kind of build you want.The car is prime material for a Pro-Touring, high performance build. Or you can buy one of these for $2,500??

I may be in the rust belt however...this is a California car and has never saw salt. Drove it back from the west coast in 1990. This car does not even so much has a blister of rust anywhere. It has about 80k on the clock. Pickled the engine in 1994. When it came out of storage with some prep, this car started right up and runs sweet!
