Classic Sedan: 1965 Oldsmobile F-85 Cutlass

The first generation Oldsmobile F-85 was a unibody compact that didn't sell particularly well (everybody wanted a Corvair!), but the 2nd generation, introduced in 1964, was upsized to the body-on-frame A-platform (shared with the Chevrolet Chevelle, Buick Special, and Pontiac Tempest).  This next example is a 4-door, but the price is great.  Find this 1965 Oldsmobile F85 Cutlass offered for $3,500 near Ft Myers, FL via craigslist.  Tip from Dascpcu.

Heavy Metal: 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass F-85

Remember when you could find 60s 2-door muscle sedans offered on craigslist for less than $5k?  Yeah, those were the good old days -- but WAIT, you can re-live the glory days of cheap muscle by avoiding the over priced "collector" cars and getting a pile of junk like this 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass F-85 offered for $4,750 in Naples, FL via craigslist.  Tip from Dascpcu.

Seller Submission: 1965 Oldsmobile F-85 Cutlass

The second generation Oldsmobile Cutlass started life as a compact, but sold in greater numbers when it was put on an intermediate chassis starting in 1964.  The new car rode on a body-on-frame chassis instead of the old unibody, but its new added mass brought refinement and character.  Find this 1965 Oldsmobile F-85 offered for $16,000 in North Hills, CA via craigslist.  Seller submission from Gus.

10k: Holiday-Body: 1964 Oldsmobile F-85 Cutlass

 It's 2015 and we don't have my flying cars yet (we've been promised flying cars and a dystopian future from sci-fi authors for long enough, time for them to deliver, or we sharpen the pitch forks), but you can buy a good 60's hardtop daily driver for $9K...and that ain't a bad consolation prize.  Sure beats a copy of the home game.  Find this 1964 Oldsmobile Cutlass F85 Holiday offered for $9,500 in North Hills, CA via craigslist.

10k: F-85 Stealth CutLasS1: 1963 Oldsmobile Cutlass F-85 w/ LQ4 GM V8

From May 13, 2013: Recently we had our eyes on a nice sleeper LS1 powered Nova, complete with granny wheels, but after getting a boost from a famous third party website the little Chevy's price went supernova and it sold for a lofty $19,500.  This was a premium price that we at Daily Turismo reserve for exotics like Goonsquad Porsche 911s, Fatlace Alfa GTVs and 550 hp Audi RS4s....not that this helps our credibility in the least bit ... ahem ... moving on. We passed on featuring the Nova but were able to find another LS wrapped in a super vintage sleeper shell...find this 1963 Oldsmobile Cutlass F-85 w/ fuel injected LQ4 GM V8 for sale in Watertown, WI currently bidding on ebay for $3,550 with 3 days to go. Tip from Oldsmobuick.

Update, Oct. 24 2013: This car apparently didn't sell on ebay, and was recently spotted by reader Art C. posted here on craigslist in Oconomowoc, WI. Looks like the same pictures are being used, a parts car is included (if desired) and the asking price is $6500...or is that $7500 (the ad lists both)? Either way, seems like a really decent sleeper muscle coupe for the price, even if this is now the third time it's come up on our radar. Thanks to Art for the re-tip!
