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.

    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.

    I had to flag his craigslist ad as spam strictly out of respect for that abused and ruined F85

    Sort of amusing, but I'd rather have one that was cut less.
