1968 Cutlass f85 just bought it

Hi Guys,
I bought a '68 Cutlass f85 2 door from a fellow member this morning.
My buddy was going to buy the rolling shell from me and I was going to pull some parts. My buddy is flaking and I don't want to store a car.

Its a floor shifter, bucket seat, tilt steering, a/c. its a fremont built car and has stayed in the bay area its entire life. Originally a 350 auto car. it's primer black, originally gold color. No evidence of smashes or thrashing. No significant rust- floors are solid. Front fenders have had the f85 trim holes welded shut, has flat f85 hood and tail lights. Trunk is solid. Light bondo here and there on the body yet looking down the inside quarter panels and front fenders- theres no evidence of anything other than small local damage. Doors are solid. Dash pad is beat up.It's been sitting in a garage for around 10 years….been off the road a lot longer than that. Wire harness has been updated- definitely not original, brakes are aftermarket discs.
Bumpers are clean, almost everything is there except windshield, motor, tranny.

I need the tilt steering column, brake rotors and calipers and the rear end (we think it's posi).
Other than these pieces the car could be sold as a whole project or I will consider parting it out. I'd like to avoid selling small pieces and focus on the big stuff.

Let me know if any of you east coasters want a solid body to replace your rust bucket. Good frame. I'm open to ideas- all of it or parts. If you want a rolling shell I can arrange that.

I do have a california pink slip with original owners signature on it (dated 2006).

Please PM me - I'll get back to you within a day.

Thanks

I'm wide open to discussing options- I could leave it more in tact or pull seats, console, fenders, and sell as a rolling tub.
Let me know what you're interested and I'll come up with a fair price.
My motivation is to avoid having another car hanging around in the side yard- wife won't be happy about it.

My bad- I thought the odd trim holes and flat hood denoted an f85. I have once again learned something new. Was the louvered hood an option or an "S"/442 only thing?
Its definitely not an S - I'm assuming its a Supreme.

What's the cowl tag say it is?.


The louvered hood was on the Cutlass S and 442 only. The Cutlass S had an "Oldsmobile" emblem on the front driver's side, the 442 did not.
