Welcome to another Hooniverse Weekend, and this weekend I will do a series of “Quick Hits”. These will be random Craigslist or eBay listings of some truly bizarre or extreemly interesting vehicles from across the country. Let’s start with this altered F-85 Cutlass from Madison Wisconsin. Desirable? Well Engineered? Ghastly? You decide…
According to the brief listing:
1966 Cutlass F85, Shortened – 383 Stroker motor with 488 in the rear 400 turbo 3200 stall An absolute steal at $6,500.00/OBO!!!
So is it a steal at $6,500? I’m not so sure as this is now only a fair weather car, or maybe a Drag Racing Car, but why not tell me what you think after seeing the listing here.

Why?
Shriners Gone Wild!
And, another SBC? Yawn.
Stupid small iPhone buttons. That was supposed to be a thumbs up.
I think you misspelled ruined.
Ghastly! I weep for that poor car.
I don't mind what's been done to the engine and bodywork. But the interior is an absolute crime.
I think it needs a smaller steering wheel and more velour – maybe that would help.
Back in the late '80s, my '71 Skylark had the same steering wheel, so I will have to recuse myself from this discussion.
I'm not convinced. Needs more button-tuft crushed velvet.
NO NO NO NO, NO! Bad car guy!
I had to flag his craigslist ad as spam strictly out of respect for that abused and ruined F85
Where is the other four feet of this thing? Wounder what the cancer that was taken out resembled? And lastly why? If it wasnt rotten.
Still longer than my Focus.
Sort of amusing, but I'd rather have one that was cut less.

I actually just yelled "what the F…-expletive-!" This one's shocking.
…and people here gave the Asian dude building his own Lambo a ration of crap….
