Carb'd 461 Big Block - 1965 Oldsmobile - /BIG MUSCLE

- Say hello to the first Oldsmobile we've ever featured on /BIG MUSCLE. This 1965 Cutlass F-85 has been cloned into a wicked 442 by it's owner. The goal was simple - take a car that was a bit outside the norm and slowly transform it into a kick-ass cruiser that has the ability to be flogged on the autocross. With a carb'd 461 big block under the hood, it's big, different and one of the most overlooked machines from the muscle car era.

Thumbs up for sticking with the Olds and not swapping in an LS.
Hell yes.
Yes, you are so correct. To profane that beautiful 65 with a Chevy would sicken me.
@@kemhayes6485 Had a 1965 CHEVY ( DOG ) dumped it months later for that OLDS 442 and loved it !
Why the LS hate? If you want cheap power, it can’t be beat
jim logger you’re right they simply make power everywhere bc technology
Absolutely love the Olds 455!
They really never got the respect they deserved with everyone being so obsessed with the Chevy motors and now the LSs, and they probably won't ever get the respect they deserve. But more than a few Chevelle guys have been embarrassed by a lowely little 442 and it's always great seeing their reaction when they are. Awesome car! Keep it Olds!
So True
I'm a Ford person but I grew up with Oldsmobiles&if you've never driven an F85,you don't know what you're MISSING. GREAT CAR.
The title's funny, but the relief I get from seeing a muscle car with a proper big block is no joke. If it's not a car you're going to be driving daily, throw the old school motor in it. It'll sound better, look cooler under the hood, and it'll have excellent low end grunt. Keep the new motors in the new stuff.
Alec D. the low end grunt thing you said makes no sense seeing as how ls engines build low end torque very very well. and also your entitled to your opinion but as far as sound goes stock for stock ls sounds so much better. and when you you throw a lumpy cam in a small block and an ls you wont be able to differentiate between the two
At 8:18 narrator guy contradicts himself big time. I've owned a 65 442 since 1988 and it turns heads wherever I go. Perfect color Blue paint, white bucket seats, jacked up in the back with air shocks and torque thrust wheels. Literally brings tears to the Ford boys and Mopar freaks. 😢
i like the fact that its not a mainstream muscle car. in fact Ive never seen one before and it probably makes just as good of a race car as the Camaro which are unbelievably over-used.
Props to the film crew, the end sunset shot was amazing, never mind the driving footage.
I was going to post the same thing!
I bought a car as a divorce present for myself :D
I was wondering how he had money left after the divorce lol
Atoweha Always take care of yourself first, keep private accounts and plenty of cash out of the bank. Nowadays with how women are, it's better to just assume they will divorce you.
+Joe11Blue Well said! Great to see guys that see the truth rather than the naïve stupid man-ginas! PS I just got out of a divorce and am fed up of all of my naïve and stupid friends who are living a lie/life trap
Olds used to dominate the road, loved the Hurst Olds. This is a very well done project, beautiful car!
Don't know why, but when he said "take the kids for ice cream" instead of "take the kids to school" I instantly liked this guy.
Finally! I'm glad to see someone keep an Olds motor in something! You'd be surprised what an Oldsmobile will do with a little attention!
Oldsmobile did not pay them anything sence they have been out of production and retired from GM for the past 12 years R.I.P. Olds (1897- 2002 ) .
My Dad had a 1964 Olds Starfire when he was a senior in high school, in 1967, in San Jose, Calif. It had a 4spd and 394 big block, lowered, egg shell white, and it was his first car....he LOVED that car...2 weeks before graduation, it was stolen out of the school parking lot...cops found it 3 weeks later, it had the interior stripped out, 4 mismatched tires, and had been set on fire in East Palo Alto, Calif...he still has a picture of that car hanging on the wall in his garage...
Liked the fact he went w/Olds power.....a REALLY sweet ride!!!!
Best series ever.
That Oldsmobile is very happy terrorizing the roads again.
The car is beautiful! I had a 66 f85 cutlass convertible with the 330 4bbl. Lottsa fun when your a teenager! Mooing down the street with that Q jet singing!
Super nice 65 Cutlass F-85
Wisconsin represent!
Amazing thanks for another great show. Chilling in the pub in South London watching on WiFi a Beer and a Big fat steak living the dream !!!!! Cheers mate 😊
This is a beautiful car, no matter what some of these people are saying! I love the look of this car and I'm so glad to see an Olds motor roaring under the hood. Oldsmobiles are a rare thing, to see actually appreciated. I had a '65 that I was hoping to do something very similar with. One of these days, I will once again own another or two!!
62-72 American cars, and I mean al of them, Ford, GM, Mopar AMC, were the best looking cars in history. Love tbe 65 Cutlass. Beatiful, but I would prefer a set of Torque-Thrust D, Cragars, Keystone Classics or Ansen Sprints. Am I the only one that noticed the left brake lamp was inop?
Yessir, I got a 72 Corvette and love it. And almost all the cars in that range lol
I noticed that light out too.
I agree, but I would go so far as to say 38-72 American cars, with 46-60 being the high point of styling. Also love that he kept his Olds an"Olds".
My favorite classic muscle car is a 1970 roadrunner 440 six pack
Love it! Everyone seems to overlook the Oldsmobile's and Pontiac's of this era for the must have over priced Camaro's, Chevelle's and Nova's etc. Pontiac and Oldsmobile engines are under rated also, properly built they are great engines that make tons of torque.
Don't forget Mercury, man. 60's Mercuries are badass. . .
I've seen this guy's pearl white '66 Malibu and man it has a bangin' interior!
I love this car. I had a 65 f85 with a 350 rocket and powerglide 2 speed transmission. I could wind it up to 70 before it would hit 2nd. Funny, I also had a problem with the driver side brake light. That brake light got me more than 1 ticket 😂. Beautiful car!
One of my favorite episodes of Big Muscle to date!
So glad to see that she has an Olds big block instead of the ever popular LS V8 conversion.
+LTR302 I appreciate how Chevy/Ford have the biggest and cheapest aftermarket. Some people wouldn't be able to get into this hobby without them. That being said, having a car with a correct engine makes it that much more special.
+Crockett85 olds buick and pontiac have forgotten engines and cadillac ford chevy and chrysler have way to well know engines which is said would love a cadillac 500 with a shit ton of mods but the the ls and ford lines are good for the guys getting into the hobby or me the business hopefully
+jdr ok old buick pontiac and cadillac are very different from any other engine manufacturer
I love olds thank you for showing it lest we forget our oldsmobiles
Beautiful lines and great colour combinations. I can't remember the last time I saw an offset single stripe rather than the more common double down the centre, but it looks great. The sound speaks for itself.
Wow, thank you for this. My first car in '73 (I wasn't 16 until '75) was a '65 Cutlass w/330 4brl, 2dr hard top, auto man. It was a hand me down that my mom own for years so it was a little worn out when I got it at 13 as a project. Came Maroon (target red (i think), w/ white int, w/black carpet and tack mounted on the factory console. I never quite seen one equipped with these options but I also remember that it didn't have any F85 badges inside or out. I was so proud of this car by the time I was 16. I learned so much about mechanics and hot rodding (the latter of which I couldn't afford).
Definitely nice to see that he stuck with the Olds engine. Major props for that. I kind of want the tires to have taller sidewalls, but that's really just nit-picking. I think it would make it look much more natural and more Trans-Am era, though. But all my bench-judging aside, this thing is awesome!
I feel that most of the cars /BIG MUSCLE is shooting nowadays are coming from people who are more known. I kinda liked the garage built, little funds, big personalities. Anyways, still love tuning in each week.
Absolutelly brilliant! Got the looks, the power, the handling. Love it!
My brother had a 66 and 68 442 ragtop. He said anyone could build a Chevy but Olds performance took talent He had aftermarket rods and pistons, big tube headers and a huge holley carb. Turbo 400 with a manual valve body. It was a beast he did a lot of his own machine work because he wasn't rich. i was afraid to drive that car it was a beast.
Beautiful ! Gotta put a smile on his face every time he picks up his grinning kids ! Nicely done : )
Damn that's a sweet car, I love everything about this Cutlass! Bad ass! Thanks /BIG MUSCLE for featuring all these nice cars.
0.12 - 0.16 squeeking out the last of a fart!! haha. What a lovely vehicle btw!!
Now there's a hot rod I could see myself in. Like the color, the wishlist on the side (althought the car probably has everything on it) - I could do without.
Nice to finally see an Oldsmobile on Big Muscle. Great show guys.
there needs to be a tuned big muscle co episode. Mike Musto and Matt Farrah in 1 video would be awesome lol.
I have a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue but makes me want to go few a decades back and get a Cutlass from the 60s.
great GT build. good combination of old and new. well done
i love that it does not have a LS in it!!
And no falken tires
Satellite 10/10 for originality, these cars are too good for that motor.
The camera shot around 10:10 with the red sky was incredible holy shit!! Great video guys, great to ride in another unique car
I own a 1965 F-85 Cutlas,(Post Model-just like this car) all original with a 330 cu. in. 4 barrel carb. I really enjoy the car and always get comments on the body style. It also has a two-tone paint scheme from the factory, never been painted, all original. Great little muscle car.
Awesome I've been wanting to see this car running. I have also a 65 f85 just dropped a 455. Love cruising in it.
I love seeing classics in stock form, at the very least - if thats not your thing - it emphasizes how far beautiful & slick builds like this one have come from factory.
Also, always hope that the heavy-duty builds are built from cars that have been worn down and seen plenty of miles over the years rather than a low-miles factory-spec garage find that looks like it just rolled off the dealer lot.
Give the ol' gals a new life, it warms my heart
This car was my background for months! I followed the build on pro touring for months
It sounds so good!
I love this Show on TH-cam!!
Greetings From Germany
saw this beauty at Goodguys Heartland Nationals.. totally amazing!
I was stunned when I first saw this video because I didn't think anybody cared about a pre 1968 olds product at all in the performance dept any ways. I own a 1966 cutlass 4 door. A lot of people locally think its cool but on the grand scale I thought not. Well this video proved me wrong. It's true the featured has 2 doors and pretty serious money into it, it looks a lot like my 1966.I too have done work to many areas of the car. New springs,shocks, full polyurethane bushings,fat tires, 455,posi but over all far from finished. My car drives so grandma but runs 81 in the 1/8 mile.
Great looking car! Very nice, very nice.
Such a beautiful car.
Nice video. This is something out of the ordinary you can appreciate.
Bravo Alpha--sharp lookin' Olds
I photoshopped a superbird wing on this exact type of Oldsmobile using a flipped C pillar as the wing, and it looks sick.
I love it ! Beautiful Car
he has the right recipe and it has been my vision for a long time as well!
They did a good job on that 65 cutlass wow.
Beautiful cutlass for with old school olds power
first wisconsin car on big muscle!
I kind of tracked this build on Instagram, and being an Olds guy, I LOVE THIS CAR. THANK YOU for keeping the Olds power plant! LS motors aren't the key to every build, and I love this one because of the originality. Nice job. Hopefully mine will be featured one day. :)
What a gorgeous ride! Can't believe, however, that this is the *first* Olds you guys have featured. o.0
I. Had a 1966 442 air, power steering, pw brakes, bucket seats, console, Hurst 4 speed shifter, and a factory tach. 400 big block.
'77 Olds Ninety-Eight 2dr coupe, 5.7 ltr 350 Rocket, looks sick and evil at a stand still with aftermarket wheels. The long body lines and lowered front end stance made the roof look chopped. Quick off the line when tires aren't spinning, that third gear is an import killer and that's an automatic. You can feel all the weight that the specs foretell. The thing handles like a go-kart. Sloppy /reckless when you want it to be or precision/polished when your heart desired. It was a heavyweight sleeper.
damn beautiful car that isnt compromised aesthetically, but has the upgrades. those brakes...
man what a nice car I always been a cutlass lover
True art in muscle. That’s what I’m gonna do to my 68 conv. M-22.
Now that car is ALIVE!!!!!!
Exactly the kind of car I like. Mid sixties classic muscle, big block with a 5 speed manual and set up to go round corners!
Thanks for the nice video!
I LOVE that exhaust!
Love the show. MORE MOPAR!
Great job thanks for keeping the Olds motor...
My self I had a few of them
'64 F-85 Deluxe 2 door post
'65 442 2 door hardtop
'66 Cutlass Supreme 2 door hardtop
'67 442 Convertible
And drove a '70 442 W-30 that was my buddy's 2 door hardtop... Got his running 12:60's at 102 m.p.h. that was not bad for almost stock...just tricks
Very nice car!! I`ve got a 65 f85 too. I`m just getting ready to start working on it.It inspires me to keep going with it. Will be a long project.
beautiful car
Nice car, nice work on it too
Good video I'm a Old's guy myself well done good information
Nice built! Like it..
Big Block
I love that year of olds 😅
Very nice car. The interioir is clean.
So fresh and so clean. I would have a little less wheel and a bit more rubber. That is all I would change. The look is mean. I really like the striping and the amber lights. Thanks again /Drive
you have a lovely creation. I had a 66 F-85 4door with a 330 cid 2 barrel
Olds have always been under rated, I love em', 66 chevelles little brother as far as im concerned, love it
I Love it.... Owned a 1965 Olds 442 Convertible, very close to the same color. I Luved mine and was sad to get rid of it but my next car was a 1968 Ram Air 442, very nice upgrade! 👍 American Iron🇺🇸
C5Ron7 - LOVE the ‘68 W-30’s ! I owned a ‘68 442 (non W-30]....tons of fun - with minor mods and a 3.91 posi, it was a blast - surprised a few musclecars considered tougher !
great car!
Awesome!
"Looking at other peoples projects and thinking... that would be really cool to have one day" Yes, every beginners incentive :)
I have an actual 65 442 and it is a really fun car to drive. The big block 400 puts out a lot of engine and gets her really moving. I would love to drive this car and see how she pulls.
Driver side brake light is out @ 6:42. Bad ass car overall. Love the set up.
I love those cars. Maybe my next project car will be a 442.
Lol the suspension has more computers in it than the engine does.
I’d like to know more about that. I hope to maintain integrity yet improve performance
When I was a junior in High School In 1973 I bought my Uncles 1964 Old 443 with the 330 Rocket engine that made 320 Hp stock, the car had a factory 4 speed with console and bucket seats.. No one at school knew what it was but they found out soon enough. We use to go to the edge of town and watch the other guys race. One senior named Humphrey had a 1970 Boss 302 Mustang and he talked me into racing, I guess he thought the 442 was easy pray so we raced and man was he surprised when I beat him three out of three times. Then my friend Lonnie who had a nice 1969 383 Road Runner and I raced and I beat him two out of two times. We lived in Newark Calif just two miles away from Fremont Drags and I raced the car most every week. They all under estimated the stock 442 ...including myself but we all learned that these cars where really fast and something quite special. In 1975 I traded it for a 1968 400 Firebird and I've been kicking myself ever since.
You're killing it Mike...
Cheers Jeff!
Ur a lucky man Rob.... Nice set up
good episode
OH yeah a big block Olds thats what I'm talking about. Wish I still had my 455 cutlass!!
Fantastic videography. Looking better at 144p than most YT vids do at 1080. Well done /DRIVE
Love It!!
