1966 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 unrestored barn find survivor

1966 442 unrestored original with one repaint approximately 20 years ago. I recently had this car shipped to Thorton Motors in Telford Pa quite possibly the foremost authority on these vehicles. I had the following work completed: all 4 wheel cylinders replaced. rear axle seal replaced. a dual master cylinder conversion competed with the correct parts. and power brakes installed. I also had a factory orginal dash pad installed and it looks extremely nice. NO RE-POP stuff!!!! The seats I'm guessing have been redone at some point. although it is possible that they are original as they are in nice shape. the headliner has definitely been replaced and looks excellent. and the door cards I'm guessing are original but in nice shape also. The carpet is very very clean. the seatbelts are in good shape. the odometer reads 7064 miles but I guarantee it is 107. 64 miles original. The body itself is in good shape with no signs of any naccidents. body panel replacement. or heavy bondo. There are some small bubbles beginning to form along the lower rockers. and along the upper drip edge. above the windows). the front bumper needs some attention. it is not damaged but it is peeling and shows surface rust in some spots. The body looks very nice and straight. the black laquer paint still shines very nicely and will for years to come if you take proper care of it. The floors are brilliant underneath. all original. as solid and unmolested as you could ask for. The motor cranks over quickly. responds well to throttle. does not blow and smoke. urn oil or appear to drip. I had Thorton's do a compression test on the motor and the figures are as follows: #1-182 #2-180 #3-200 #4-180 #5-185 #6-180 #7-187 #8-190 it runs strong and pulls nicely. This car is an excellent driver quality car. It is not a restoration. it is an original car. original trim. body. nbsp;and could easily be a top grade car without spending $50k to do it. The car is painted and upolstered in its factory colors. It was not originally a power brake car. however to have just one master cylinder and no power brakes is just crazy. so I did the sensible thing and completed the safety upgrades. The car is for sale locally and I will end the auction if it does sell locally. I can help with shipping should you need it at your expense. I will answer any questions you have so please ask away. I am not a mechanic. I love cars. I've had too many considering what they have cost me over time. but it's done out of love and addiction right? Thanks
