Vehicle Description
Ladies and Gentlemen, Gateway Classic Cars of Kansas City is
pleased to present an awesome 1963 Oldsmobile Cutlass F-85! By
1961, Ford was selling half a million Falcons, and Chevrolet was
turning out 300,000, rear-engined, air-cooled, VW-fighting
Corvairs. Rambler, which had essentially invented the American
compact car, came in third place with 220,000 Classics. Oldsmobile
wanted in on the act, and its entry was the F-85, the base of the
Cutlass line. It was a smartly styled, high-compression V-8. The
F-85 represents a truly unique choice in this segment of 1960s
automobiles. They were never built in the huge numbers of the
Falcon--just 121,483 units in 1963--so they're a standout at any
car show or cruise night. And unlike the bulk of the cars it
competed against, F-85s were all V-8 powered, featuring an
all-aluminum block from Buick, but with Oldsmobile's own heads with
wedge-shaped combustion chambers. At just 215-cu.in., it's no
big-block, but thanks to sky-high 10.75:1 compression, the little
engine develops 195hp at 4,800 RPM. With just 2,700 pounds to push
around, F-85s offer performance unlike anything you'll find out of
a Falcon or a Rambler Classic. Our very cool, white exterior F-85,
with newer white convertible top features a striking red leather
interior! She looks like a very early version of a muscle car with
shiny mag wheels on each corner. In the engine bay sits a very
similar 215-cubic inch, high-compression V-8 engine mentioned
above. The three-speed automatic transmission has a very
interesting floor mounted automatic shifter housed by an
ultra-cool, jet fighter style console. Comfy bucket seats help to
complete the awesome driving experience! Here's your chance to own
an affordable classic that not too many people have seen much less
owned. You'll strike-up many a conversation at the local drive-in
or convenience store asking you, "What the heck is it?" We hope the
next owner likes to talk cars! To get the ball rolling and make
this classic yours, call your friends in the classic car business
