1962 Oldsmobile Cutlass 215 V8 A/C & PW

1962 Oldsmobile Cutlass

Engine:
The drive line, trans, differential have been all rebuilt and the engine was rebuilt at the flywheel at a steetable 244HP in a 2400 pound car. A real sleeper! The engine has been balanced and blue printed, I have the spec sheets.

The 1962 Oldsmobile Cutlass F85, one of the most technologically-advanced engines of the 60's, 215 cubic inch all-aluminum V8. Options include: positraction, power windows, air conditioning (needs to be put back in the engine compartment), original 4 speed T-10 transmission. The 4-sp is very scarce and desirable, because it had only a two month production run for the 1962 Model and it is a lot better than the normal anemic automatic. I think the car has been painted once, the innards (door jambs trunk, etc) look to be all original paint. The car runs fantastic, a small car, but offers big car comfort and performance on the highway. I bought it from a man that told me he bought from the original owner in Florida.

Body:
The car is a solid Florida car, very clean underbody. All the trim is there and in good condition. The paint looks good but has a few very minor chips and scratches, it is factory quality. The paint shop told me there is plenty of paint on it to color sand it and really make it shine. Floors and trunk look great and are rust free and solid, the original positraction trunk label? Very, very minor rust spots on the bottom of the wheel wells.

Interior:
The interior is unrestored and completely original, except replacement carpets, protected by aftermarket floor mats, and despite being a "compact" there's plenty of room for everyone. 4 new 13" tires. Factory Tach gauge on the Factory Console works. All power windows, the Original Radio was converted to AM-FM with an iPod plug in the box and Alpine amp and speakers. An electric antenna. A set of 60's style chrome add-on gauges, all work. A full size set of extra wheel covers and two extra factory tachs.

This is my pet little car and it is not perfect. It still needs some minor things done to it to be finished. It needs the already rebuilt air conditioner parts put back in the engine compartment. That decreased clearance between the radiator and the grill and made the original condenser is too big to fit in the front of the radiator and it needs to be adapted to the modern smaller condenser, that is all included. It is a lot more efficient than the old one. It would not be visible behind the grill anyway. I spared no expense. This car has had nothing but the best and I made every effort to keep the look and integrity of a 1962 car.

Electrical:

It has a Gener-Nator, an exact replacement for the generator made with brand new high quality parts and stainless steel hardware that charges even at idle, mounted on the original brackets. A Gener-Nator will maintain and keep the battery in a fully charged state; provide the power you need for all your accessories as well as the ones you add on; control the voltage for optimum performance and not have you continuously worrying about you battery. It is NOT an alternator machined down and then stuffed inside a generator case. It is, a very sophisticated piece of electrical equipment, to look stock and do the job of a modern alternator. Best of all, when you look under the hood, you see a generator not a modern looking alternator. It also has an original looking Delco Battery replica with original look repo battery cables.
