Got to say Richard your living the life and you worked hard..Long time viewer of the show and channel...Lost my wife years ago and you took the time to respond back to me...I can't afford to pay attention everything so expensive but the videos take my mind off things..left a like as always
The first production Oldsmobile Cutlass was a pillared deluxe coupe version of their new-for-1961 unit-body F-85 "senior compact." Olds had earlier used the Cutlass name on a 1954 Motorama show car. A 185-hp high-compression 215-cid "Rockette" aluminum V-8, equipped with a 4-bbl. carburetor, powered the Cutlass. Upgraded exterior trim was featured outside. Inside, a richly detailed two-tone vinyl-trimmed interior with front bucket seats was standard. A Cutlass convertible debuted for 1962, while the otherwise little-changed Cutlass Coupe became a true two-door hardtop. The mid-year Jetfire, based on the Cutlass Coupe, introduced the industry's first turbo-charged V-8. The engine developed 215 hp. Oldsmobile stylists substantially revamped the F-85/Cutlass line for 1963. Four inches of added length and a new slab-sided appearance made the cars seem larger. However, the restyled '63 editions were still essentially first-generation models underneath. GM dropped its small aluminum V-8 program at the end 1963. Early Cutlass models are amazingly roomy small cars and their lightweight V-8 provides impressive performance. Although historically significant, the 1962-63 Jetfires can be technically challenging... Hagerty
What's wild was the original naturally aspirated 215ci had a pretty high compression ratio of 10.25 to 1. Wild to think about when back through the 60s and 70s a 8 to 1 ratio was considered a high compression engine. The turbo charged fuel injection version of the 215ci still ran the 10.25 to 1 compression ratio. Possibly why it didn't make as much HP and only the 215hp 300 ft lbs of torque as you would expect from a turbo charged fuel injection small block v8 (a very small block v8 considering it was only a 3.5L) lowering the compression ratio of the engine it would have been able to run a higher boost and would have probably been a pretty wild amount of power for this little v8 in this tiny package of a car. very small but very lightweight. It is definitely one of the cooler cars I've ever seen and such a beautiful styling from bumper to bumper. The speedometer is a smaller version of what I had in my 64 Buick special, I have a spare speedo cluster in my garage I had bought for spare bulbs and electric panels but never needed it, I still want to find something cool to make out of it.
@@jamescorfield534 yep u tell dat foo..there's em black zebras with white stripes and em white ones with black stripes...dem ole brits do kno nuttin. MERICA baby !!!!.
My dad had a 4 door F 85 back when it was fairly new. He bought it for $150, drove it for years, and sold it for $150. He said it was the best car he'd ever owned.
Hey, this was super entertaining. From Tom and the 1962 Oldsmobile to the short tour of GasMonkey's future projects tease and finally the beautiful ranch and the rhinos. Richard , thanks for the ride along ....
My Moms 1st car was a 64 f85 Cutlass. Her brother had a 62 Skylark with an aluminum 215 v8. Which is basically the same car as that Oldsmobile there. I wanted it bad but my dad said I'd get it out and over heat it. I guess he thought I'd melt the block down 😂 he said I'd tear up an Iron wedge 😂
had to look up the Oldsmobile f85 after this video...safe to say I've never wanted an oldsmobile f85 so badly before. Such a sick car that could be such a sick more underrated build now a days
I love the Cutlass but know me well enough to know that I would LS swap it and put a 5 speed in the floor, which would completely ruin the car for purists 🤣🤣
A1 video Gas Monkey crew and Sir Richard. That must have been a cool place to go visit, come on, petting a rhyno👍. Good luck Mike on your endevor to save the Rhynos you are a man of incredible wealth, a heart of gold! I really am intrested in seeing how they are next year and if the stud is able to charm the girls, and no Richard I meant the Rhyno your married Lol Richard I can hardly wait to see this new build you have going on, I love that truck and what was Ricky working on in the shop? I am sure it will be a fun ride. Take care and God bless👍😇🏁
I actually love that cutlass. I was raised in the hack seat of one,shit,probably made in the back seat of it too,to be honest 😂. I would love to own that cutlass
Ur buddy with the ranch he seems a really cool guy love wot he doing with tue animals Richard got all soft and giddy wen you was touching the rino ur bar idea sounds hell of a good plan i hope u do do it thanks for the up load
An acquaintance in the UK had one, I'm in the UK too. Another mate had a '64 two speed, genuine 60 in 1st and 120 in 2nd. Jesus, don't let Tom drive it, I remember what happened in the 1st program!
There's times and things that I don't like about Richard rawlings......but truthfully when he spotlights a small family business, i can't hate on the guy and he does it more than you realize 💯
That was a beautiful ride tom had. Makes me excited to get a 4 door 65 buick skylark outta my father in laws backyard. It was his grandparents they bought it brand new. Its all original. But needs love the years have not been kind to the ol girl

Dude the best Dairy Queen is the one on the corner of I-35 and Highway 380 in Denton, Tx, Richard please go visit for lunch one day you will very much like it
Back in the day as a teen in South Houston,I had a job at a junkyard.The long timers that worked there were just like these guys,real characters.They were not trying to be funny,it was just natural for them.
👍✌️ Richard you got to get Tom up there with about 5 or 6: party balls.... challenge tom, drink half a party ball and 25 minutes and ride the Rhino for 30 seconds, lol.. if he does that then he drinks the other half of the party ball and the Rhino rides Tom for 30 seconds, lol lol... if he does both of them then you can give him the other four or five party balls for him to go off and have some fun in the woods, lol lol lol.. he's doing a beautiful thing for them animals Soldier... I applaud and support everything he's trying to do we need more people like him in this world...✌️👍
Have you guys ever been to South Africa? You would absolutely LOVE it here, I could even arrange a 2-week tour for you guys from Cape Town, the most beautiful place in the world! And the dollar is 20/1 vs South Africa - a typical $10 beer would cost you USD $2. Petrol heads, bike riders, on-road/off-road/4x4 trucks, and cars - stunning game reserves with animals in their natural habitat
Its sad to see how other people from different countries looks after our animals and our own government can't even take care of our own animals. Thanks for the guy in this video taking care of these rhino's. I salute u brother thank u very much
Have a question is it okay while watching the PBR on TV that you're having a steak and some PBR beer I mean I think that's outstanding if it is and by the way that f-85 Oldsmobile looks awesome
My mother had a Buick Special, almost the same exact car and it was junk. She had to trade is within a year because the electric system kept failing and even caught fire once.
Great to see good Ol' Tom again . Nice car he brought over also .
Tom is gold.. zero seriousness but 100% knows his shit.. love him
I am so glad that he has made his way back, he is such a lovable character and funny as heck. Take care and God bless
Bring him back
I hated to see him leave GMG
Glad to see Thomas weaks back at fired up garage🎉🎉🎉🎉he was a awesome character
he does know his shit
im from south-africa and want to thank people like these saving our animals from poachers
great to see Tom! he was always my fave in the shop
Always great seeing Tom make a cameo. A great sense of humour and doesn't take himself to seriously. Knows his way around cars!
Big Tom little car...It was cool to see both of them... Much love U guys

Ya wasn't that a cool looking car? I was surprised Tommy fit in it though Lol what a great character he is. Take care Ryan and God bless👍

olds,pontiac(tempest)Buick they were all the same except engine choices from a 4cyl. to a V8. AFX class got these modified.
Thank you to the team trying to save my country’s beautiful wildlife
Amen👍Mike and his team are doing an incredible thing there, I hope that they are successful at breeding them. Take care Derek and God bless
@@markhemphill6295 and you Mark. It’s so sad that the government that “runs” South Africa is not concerned about this.

Tom Smith, to see you again.
and what a gem he brought with him.
nice to see you Tom.
I like it. I had a 1966 Chevy Impala with a little 283 CID with a two barrel carb. All of 195 HP for that big boat. I loved it anyway.
Love the totally random appearance by Tom. That guy was born to make people laugh.
My dad had a 4 door F 85 back when it was fairly new. He bought it for $150, drove it for years, and sold it for $150. He said it was the best car he'd ever owned.
Always a good video when Richards old lady is there with her bazookas. 😊
Y’all just keep driving my car around, racking up all kinds of miles 😂 😂 😂
TOM MADE THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He Deserves a FRICKEN RED CARPET everyone LOVES TOM wish people treated him better
Hey, this was super entertaining. From Tom and the 1962 Oldsmobile to the short tour of GasMonkey's future projects tease and finally the beautiful ranch and the rhinos. Richard , thanks for the ride along ....
Hands one of the best videos, that ranch segment was great, hope Sturgis works out!
I think this is the best content y'all have ever put out. A little bit of everything.
Tom the car guy, he needs his own show. I had a 64 buick skylark with a fireball v6 engine. The car was indestructible.
He did, sorta. Fired Up Garage.
Got to love Tom but in small doses, when we heard the Tarzan call i though that sounds like Tom and in he walks 🤣🤣
I love it . I don't believe Ive ever seen one that looks as good as that . Thanks guys .
Love it Richard! Looks like a blast! God bless you and gas monkey crew!
Watching Richard shoot the breeze about business with his friend was cool.
Lmao it's richards favorite wrench. Thanks for the laughs

Awsome Mike you doing an wonderful thing the rhino is my favourite we used to have 3 white bulls man i miss those days
Great Video. Being a wood fired oven Pizza Chef, I see your dream of Sturgis. Sounds like a wonderful location. Good Luck with your Decision!
Super vid today. Those rhinos look in better condition than back here in SA. Always enjoy GM and Richard.
Such a pity that cANCer and Co don’t care
I think that Tom has found quite simply the most beautiful Amerian car Ive ever seen!!STUNNING!!
One of your best vids Richard
had to look up the Oldsmobile f85 after this video...safe to say I've never wanted an oldsmobile f85 so badly before. Such a sick car that could be such a sick more underrated build now a days
Definitely always love watching your videos. Would be nice to see some more regular content though
I love the Cutlass but know me well enough to know that I would LS swap it and put a 5 speed in the floor, which would completely ruin the car for purists 🤣🤣
What a great episode. Thank you.
at 12:00 - I love the camo paint job on that car.
And, I love the driller statue!
I love Tom. Wish he was in every episode.
Great Tom. Best in this video! Nice car.

That Cutlass would be sick built like a Pro Touring car or a Hotrod type build. Such a cool lookin ride
Hell yeah my brother 🔥 🙌 💪
This is a bit left field but I'll say it, these guy's need a t.v. show and call it 'Gas Monkey Garage' Wooooooooooooohhh!!!
Nice episode of this cars 🚗 👌 👏 👍 🙌 😍
Same as the Pontiac Tempest of the same year. I've had a couple of them and loved them.
Wow Rhinos are my favourite animal , l loved this !
It was dam good to see Tom back on the show!!!
SOUTH AFRICAN 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 RHINOS 😂😂, GREETINGS FROM THE UK 🇬🇧, EXILED SOUTH AFRICAN WATCHING 👍🇿🇦🇬🇧
Cowboy richard, that's a good look 🤠
That Cutlass is an absolute cream puff, Never seen one that nice.

He is speaking correct English. Australian and American are slang.

Heavy Sturgis foreshadowing here....l❤❤❤
I bought one a few years ago for $500 and it had a cool story to go along with it.
The f85 engine was later used by land rover if I remember correctly. lol I just heard him say that after I was typing this 😂

Looks a lot like the Buick Invicta. Same frame. My dad had a 1962 Invicta wagon.
WOW Richard went Grey this past week new style I guess.
The oldsmobile is cool, I had a 1962 starfire, Big nice boat with a 383
Runs like a dream... dies pulling out
