    Looks like a great Car, where is it from originally? You don't see to many factory A/C cars from the Mid 60's north of the boarder!!!!

    Best of luck with your new Olds. Looks to be in pretty good shape. Give er a good wash and a fresh coat of wax and I'll bet it'll look brand new.

    What!!?? A F85 and I missed posting earlier on it! Welcome to the madness Ken! :Welcome:

    So we know its a 330 cid V8, Jetaway trans? factory air......other options? And can we trouble you for a few dozen more :camera:? Interior showing complete dashboard in detail would be cool! As would under hood pics.

    My folks had a '63 215 wagon so guess I'm partial to all 60's Olds from that.

    well it was a 330 jetaway (y) but now has a 305 SBC with trans unknown i may or may not reinstall a Olds motor i may leave it as it is or i may go with one of my 327 or 400SBC or even a 350 buick ( I have 5 spares ) or if im really silly a 455 Buick ( much lighter than the olds variant ) One thing for sure Ill be upgrading the suspension and steering as well as making her an excellent driver car. im excited about the flat top to go with my sporty I would have prefered a Buick but the Olds is an excellent alternative

    the dash is in good shape i undr stand ill be getting a perfect main dash cover for her
    as of DEC 9 she is still in her former home on the BC coast and should arrive here in MId january ill submit more pictures and info as i go forward

    feel free to give me any sudgestions or ideas

    Ken

    No, I didn't see the ad for this one. I've been sporadicaly looking for something similar for awhile, and my daughter lives in Spokane, so I tend to look around there as much as I can.

    I also look around the area as its pretty dry, and can some times yield good cars. The fellow I bought the car from seems like a nice guy and is only selling it because he found a 2 dr ht to do instead. :)
    HAHA wagons are way cooler in my books The fact i already have 3 - 2 dr hts 1 - 2 dr post and a convertible doesnt hurt either hahaha

    I look forward to using this one as my spirng, summer, and fall daily driver might even hook up the fact air and install cruise
