Uh-Oh Olds # 3 came home.......

Found this on E-bay, it was only an hours drive away, so I went to look at it, knew I had to have it. The 65 has been in the Phoenix valley area it's whole life so no rust anywhere, not even surface rust. Was the only bidder, paid less then 10k. Newly rebuilt good running 350 with a T350 trans, great paint, bright work and very nice interior. I'm really starting to like the look of post cars......

Well bought .

I had also been looking at that same F - 85 ..
Currently zero garage space . And , do those Torque Thrust's really make that car POP ! It is also extremely nice when someone who loves and appreciates the Marque gets a good one , and will continue to make it better .

If your wife objects to another red car in the driveway , I can take this one anytime after Jan 30th 2016 . Russo - Steele will be eliminating my 67 442 from my life .. Good stuff W - 30 . JT

Funny how some of us acquire a taste for certain cars, I'm getting that way with the 73 and newer cars, but...... this one you got I have always thought as one of the classic cool body styles ever produced. Great buy, awesome car and I love that's its an F85

Forgot to include the picture of the engine on my recent $9999. purchase......not much needs to be done under the hood. About the only downside of the buy, it's a bit over-cammed for my liking, it comes on super strong at 3000 rpm and up, pulling like a freight train but not so much off idle and only has around 11 inches of vacuum idling at 775.
