I hate new guy posts.
I’m getting into cars after a long love affair with motorcycles.
KDX200, ZX6R, ZX9R, ZX11, Hayabusa, ZX14R, XR650l, Street Glide,
KTM 690 Enduro R

After looking at many different cars I’ve narrowed my choice down to the 1964 Cutlass post. There is just something about that car I love.

thanks for having me

Charlie

 

Good choice, parts a hard to come by though...

 

Welcome to the site, I'm partial to the 64-67's myself.

 

Welcome!

 

Where the hell is Illandanoid?

 

I think it’s down the road from Hemmoroid.

 

slang for Illinois
living in this state makes you ill and annoyed between the taxes, corrupt politicians, and terrible weather.

 

Say it ain't so

BTW

Welcome aboard

 

64-65 F-85 "post cars" have always been my favorite along with the early 64-65 Tempest or Chevelles. Next up would be the 66-67's. A little while back I began to downsize and sold my 62 Olds Dynamic 88 and a 67 resto-mod 442 I built and owned for 13 years or so to a Forum member's friend here. Next up this spring I'm going to sell my 100% rotisserie build 64 F-85 " Post Car" resto-mod and my 63 Corvette. If your seriously looking for an F-85 post car, this could be it.

 

Welcome! I also like 64’s.

 

Illinois might suck but we do have some great dragstrips so im thankful for that. Welcome aboard.

 

yeah we do. I’m 40 min or so east of Byron. I’ve raced my bikes out there a lot and up at Union Grove as well.

 

Yup. I live in Elgin usually run Byron or the Grove . Crodova is a bit of a drive but a fantastic track.

 

Welcome. I lived my first 29 years in Illinois. Never heard that term though it's fitting. A couple of guys here at work(from Wisconsin) call me a FIB.

 

cool. I grew up in Elgin and Streamwood. I live in Genoa now.

 

64's are awesome. I've had a couple of them.

Welcome aboard !!
I lived in Illinois for over 30 years in the Homewood area and back in the day it was a great place to grow up, unfortunately that is no longer the case for all the reasons previous posters noted. Two of my childhood friends who I stay in close touch with finally had enough and moved away
for the reasons stated above, they left beautiful homes and family that don't have the means to make a move yet, what a shame.
Sorry off track, welcome to the forum !!!

 

Welcome to CO! I too have had a long love affair with motorcycles, and still own a 2010 Yamaha Stratoliner Deluxe and a 2016 Indian Chieftain. I got into the classic car scene in 2019 when I purchased my '67 Cutlass Supreme / 4-4-2. Best of luck in your search for a nice '64 F-85!

 

Yea I used to live in Orland, bailed on IL a long time ago. 64's are great looking cars. I have always preferred the post cars. I've got a 66 Cutlass post. Good luck on finding what you want.

 

Born in 1950 in Chicago. Parents moved to Dolton in 1956. Greatest place in the world to grow up ! Dad took me to US 30 in 65 to see S-W-C vs Ohio George, then the Greek vs Big Daddy that same year. Later Byron, the Grove, Oswego and Martin 131. Fortunately Route 66 is
is back open which will be my 23rd year after the Covid debacle. My wife and I moved to Indiana in 1976 while my brother in-law and his wife stayed in Cook/Will county Illinois. I have asked him the same question for the last 47 years and their $325,000 in addtional property taxes they have paid over that period compared to us, "What did you get for the 325K that we didn't get in Indiana?'. His reply " Not a f...king thing. !" Anyone living in Illinois is either an idiot or connected to the Democrat machine.
Great choice going with the 64. I have two 1964 Cutlass convertibles and a bunch of extra parts so if you need something for a 64 give me a shout.

 

The post is three years old, the OP hasn't been on for ~one year....he may see it.

 

Yep Vintage Chief is correct, sorry my enthusiasm to welcome a new member caused me to overlook the post date, eyes and noggin not working as well as they used too !! however the opinion on life in Illinois still stands! sorry for not looking closer.

 

I was browsing the thread since I was born/raised in the Windy City.

 

Welcome. Hope you can find a good deal on a 64 Cutlass. BTW, show us some pics of your motorcycles.

 

You're about x3 years late on your welcome, Jesse. It's the thought that counts, right?

 

DOH!
