Thank you for excepting me into the group, my names Joe, I’m 70yrs. young, I live in no.w.In., I own a 64 Olds F85 Gasser, this is my first Oldsmobile, I’m very interested in learning all I can about Oldsmobile’s.

Welcome to the site, post some pictures when you get a chance.

 

Welcome to the group... A 64 Gasser, not something you see too often, if at all anymore...

 

Welcome! Sounds pretty cool. But what does it look like? Need some pics.

 

Joe is a friend of mine lives down the street from me. I'll help him post some pics of his gasser. Real pretty ride I believe a 73 455 block and heads with a roots blower and a couple 750's on top! Real head turner. Will get some pics soon.

 

Welcome to the best Oldsmobile forum. We await the pictures with eager anticipation! More is better.

 

 

The engine looks really clean, just like the rest of thecar, nice!

 

WHOA, quite the set-up, really clean machine.

Steve

 

Welcome Joe. That ls quite a bad-***. Very nicely done! Thanks for posting up the pics Sean.

 

Welcome Joe. That Olds is bad@$$!

 

Radical. Very nice.

 

Very sweet ride.

 

Joe wants me to drive his ride one day and lay down on the pedal! Do you think I can get the wheels up?

 

A gasser is a type of hot rod originating on the dragstrips of the United States in the late 1950s and continued until the early 1970s.[1][2] In the days before Pro Stock, the A/Gas cars were the fastest stock-appearing racers around.

History

Gassers are based on closed body production models from the 1930s to mid-1960s, which have been stripped of extraneous weight and jacked up using a beam axle or tubular axle to provide better weight distribution on acceleration (beam axles are also lighter than an independent front suspension), though a raised stock front suspension is common as well. Common weight reduction techniques include fiberglass body panels, stripped interiors, and Plexiglas windows (sometimes color tinted).

Sweet...... I missed out on a complete 455 with blower setup about 10 years ago... I snoozed/ thought too long about it and it was gone...

 

It's probably the one in Joe's car.

 

Car looks wild! All Oldsmobile ,I love it.

 

WOW! Love the '64s and yours is a beauty.
