Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
You sure, it's up for sale...
Up for sale is my 1953 Oldsmobile Super 88 Coupe. I have owned this car for more than a year and have completed the process of bringing her back from the dead step by step. It is now time to pass her on to the next owner to continue the journey. I am asking $5500 for this car AND the parts car that comes with it. If interested in the car please email me at Benjamin.friend56@yahoo.com
Here are the pros and the cons on this car.
PROS:
Clean, clear TX title in my name. An AWESOME patina finish that can’t be replicated.
Engine runs perfectly with no noise, smoke or knocks. New coil, cap, wires, points, and spark plugs plus an oil change.
New valve cover gaskets, transmission oil pan gasket, and tail shaft gasket.
Correctly wired up starter, and neutral safety switch.
Headlights, tail lights, turn signals, and dash gauges are all operative.
New thermostat, water pump belt, and coolant flush
Carbueretor is NOS, including a new electric fuel pump, and line. The gas tank has been dropped and cleaned out.
Brand new battery and battery hold down cover/Hardware. Battery cables have been cleaned.
Brake are all NEW. Wheel cylinders have been rebuilt, all lines blown out, and the MC has been rebuilt. The system has all new brake fluid and has been bled.
A brand new $400 exhaust system has been purchased for the car but has only been partially installed. The entire system will be included with the sale.
All four tires on the car have been replaced and are brand new with excellent tread. The U-joints for the drive shaft have been replaced (expensive parts) an are new.
The trunk it full of extra parts including all the old parts I have removed from the OLDS. There is an extra set of wheel skirts, and extra carb, a newer set of bumper bullets, extra starter, oil pan gasket, oil pump etc.
The car also comes with a pretty compete Super 88 sedan parts car, which has all the options that OLDS offered in 1953.
CONS:
The floor in the front and the rear edge of the trunk have rust and will need a little bit of patching.
The transmission sometimes shifts, sometimes doesn’t. It needs adjusted or possibly just swapped for a newer model transmission.
Starter motor likes to grind sometimes but I have another to go with the car.
Some glass could use replaced.
