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.
