Super Honored to be the one who got to do some freshening up on this Awesome Family Heirloom 1965 Oldsmobile F85 Cool car with a even cooler history. Bought new by Brett’s grandfather then handed down to his dad who built it into a hard running good looking street strip car then sold .Always missed by grandson Brett was found and bought back Now a 3 generation family tradition continues. We freshened up the trunk with a little patch work and fresh spatter paint along with sound deadener and fresh carpet in interior. Unbelievable still has original interior and factory floor mats. Such a Awesome car 😎
