ORIGINAL TINTED GLASS EXCELLENT CONDITION, NO FADING, BUBBLING, CHIPS, CRACKS, ETC. THE TRUNK HAS THE ORIGINAL LINER, GOOD CONDITION WITH ORIGINAL JACK INSTRUCTIONS.

INTERIOR: EXCELLENT ORIGINAL TWO TONE VINYL INTERIOR, ALL HARDWARE AND CHROME THERE, VERY GOOD CONDITION, NO SUN DAMAGE. THERE ARE TWO SMALL SPLITS AT THE DRIVERS SEAT ON THE SEAMS.

MECHANICAL: RECENTLY THE CAR WAS USED FOR A FEW WEEKS AS A DAILY DRIVER AND PERFORMED FLAWLESSLY. BRAKE SYSTEM HAS BEEN GONE THRU AND ADJUSTED, STOPS EXCELLENT. HANDLING IS INCREDIBLE FOR A CAR ITS VINTAGE, VERY TIGHT AND RESPONSIVE, ALMOST NO PLAY IN THE STEERING. ENGINE HAS HAD A MAJOR TUNEUP, NEW HOSES AND ALL FLUIDS REPLACED. OTHERWISE NO MAJOR WORK, RUNS EXCELLENT, ALWAYS RELIABLE, CHOKE IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL. TRANSMISSION WAS ADJUSTED AND CHECKED, SHIFTS GREAT, KICKDOWN WORKS, VERY SMOOTH ACCELERATION. NEW REAR SHOCKS 2 MONTHS AGO. ZERO NOISE FROM REAR END. I ALSO HAVE A SPARE NOS WATER PUMP WHICH WILL GO WITH THIS CAR. JUST A GREAT RUNNING RELIABLE CAR.
 
MODIFICATIONS: NEW DUAL EXHAUST WITH 3" FLOWMASTERS, SOUNDS GREAT, GOOD LOW RUMBLE BUT NOT TOO LOUD. CAN EASILY BE SWITCHED BACK TO STOCK IF DESIRED, AND I KEPT THE ORIGINAL MUFFLER BRACKETS.
THE WHEELS ARE BILLET SPECIALTIES 18" 4 LUG RIMS, EXCELLENT LOOKING, AND MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS VEHICLE. I DO HAVE ALL ORIGINAL 13" RIMS FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THESE ARE INCLUDED. NO MODIFICATIONS WERE MADE TO INSTALL THESE. TIRES ARE NEW GENERAL EXCLAIM UHP 225/40 ZR 18

THE CUTLASS MODEL OF THE F85 WAS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL THE SECOND HALF OF THE 1961 MODEL YEAR AND CAME STANDARD WITH THE 185 HP 4-BARREL ALUMINUM ENGINE, SO THIS CAR IS FAIRLY RARE. IT IS NOT A CAR YOU ARE GOING TO SEE EVERY DAY SO DON’T MISS THIS CHANCE AT THIS LOW MILE ARIZONA CAR!
