Extremely Nice 1965 Cutlass Sport Coupe as pictured.
History: Original owner drove locally until late 90's. Second owner until 2012. Car is a combination of well maintained original and cleanup, painting, and maintenance as needed. Odometer reflects 45,500 and may or may not be accurate, but based on condition of interior I believe is correct . Car was driven around the local San Francisco area from 1995-2012
Exterior:
Car is a rust free (best as I can tell), North California Car. Paint appears to be original on half the hood, roof, rear deck lid, with some re-spray on the sides. Pass side hood has some clouding that may or may not buff out. No rust evident beyond surface rust anywhere with trunk and floors nice and solid. When I bought the car, I pulled the original carpet and inspected...there was some surface rust on the driver and pass side front floors that I cleaned up, primed, and painted. Then installed new carpet ( I have the original carpet). I left the trunk as found. There is some rust staining, and you can see some light pitting starting in spots. Looks like it may have had the paint touched up on the trunk floor at some point. Front and rear window channels look great. Chrome looks nice with very minor pitting. At some point there was damage to the front bumper and pass side grill area. Gap is bigger than it should be between the bumper and grill area. Grill may be pushed in slightly. Looks like the bumper was replaced with a west coast generic as the chrome is thin and starting to pit. On close inspection you will see that the tail panel area has been bumped into a couple of times with the panel not as curved as it should be. Chrome tail panel itself looks fine, just a little flatter than it should be. Most folks wouldn't notice it unless the chrome panel was pulled from the car. Prior owner told me the original owner was 93 when he sold the car and he had a habit of banging into things in his garage. Rest of the exterior looks nice with minor wear as expected.
Interior:
Looks fantastic with some light wear on the dash face area and where the keys hang. No work needed on the interior except like most Post Coupes the rear side windows will come off track if rolled all the way down. Probably need to be realigned and adjusted.
Mechanically:
Car starts runs, and drives great with original 330. Original 4 barrel Rochester was replaced with a Carter at some point in its life.
More pictures available....ran out of room. Shipping is buyers responsibility. I can hold car up to 30-days as needed as long as paid in full. Car will stored in secure indoor storage.
Reason for listing:
Take a look at the other 1965 Cutlass on eBay, Craigslist, or other. Look at their prices and then compare to this car. Although not perfect, or high end restored this car presents is self extremely nice. I bought to convert to 4-speed bench seat car/442 clone. I have since picked up a 1964 Cutlass factory 3-speed floor shift car....so looking to see what the interest is in the 65 before starting the conversion...the 64 needs much more work...but still a worthy project.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]
Thu, 09 Oct 2014The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The folks behind Generation Gap have lost their minds with this latest video. The goal here is to determine the ultimate family cruiser, but the choices are what you would least expect, with a heavily modded 1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser going up against a 2012 Ferrari FF.
You might anticipate an over-40-year-old Oldsmobile to pale in comparison to any modern Ferrari, but this wagon has a ton of secrets under its skin thanks to Lingenfelter. First, it packs a supercharged LS3 V8 with a claimed 650 horsepower and a six-speed manual gearbox. That big upgrade in power is further helped with air suspension and massive Wilwood disc brakes. The result is nothing short of deafening, with blaring yelps whenever the driver even nudges the accelerator.
The alternative sounds just as good, albeit in very different way. The Ferrari's 6.3-liter V12 pumps out 651 hp and 504 pound-feet with a part-time all-wheel drive system. While the FF lacks a lot of the hauling ability of the Olds, it makes up for the deficit in handling, luxury, and in many eyes, simply by having the famous prancing horse on the grille.
