YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 1955 OLDSMOBILE 88 HOLIDAY 2 DOOR HARD TOP! THIS CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND RAN BRIEFLY 6 MONTHS AGO. IT IS 95 PERCENT COMPLETE AND NEEDS A HAPPY HOME. I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR THE LENGTH AND DETAIL OF THIS AD. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK YOU WILL SEE I HIDE NOTHING AND THIS WILL BE AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE. LIKE I SAID ABOVE IT WAS RUNNING 6 MONTHS AGO WITH NO ISSUES. IT DID NOT HAVE ANY KNOCKS AND WAS SPRAYED WITH CARB CLEANER TO RUN. NEVER TRIED TO PUT GAS IN THE TANK.. FUEL TANK WOULD NEED FLUSHED AND SEALED. THIS CAR HAS NO BRAKES WORKING CURRENTLY AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS CLEAN...BUT HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN. I WOULD GUESS THE TRANS IS OK BUT CANNOT VERIFY IT HAS A BRAKE PEDAL WHICH BOLTS THROUGH THE FLOOR. TO THE MASTER CYLINDER. IT IS IN THE CAR. THE GLASS SITUATION IS AS FOLLOWS: DRIVERS SIDE IS ALL THERE BUT FOGGED ON THE FRONT AND BACK GLASS. DRIVERS DOOR GLASS LOOKS GREAT. PASSENGER SIDE GLASS IS ALL CRACKED...NO HOLES BUT CRACKED. THE WINSHIELD AND BACK WINDSHIELD ARE PERFECT! WINDOWS ARE MANUAL, NOT POWER THE CAR HAS A SMALL RUST HOLE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR UPFRONT. (SEE PICTURE) THE STEERING COLUMN IS APART AND THE PARTS ARE MOSTLY THERE IN THE TRUNK. THERE ARE OTHER EXTRA PARTS IN THE TRUNK ALSO INCLUDING A SET OF CYLINDER HEADS. THIS CAR HAS ALL 4 HUBCAPS THAT COME WITH IT (SEE PIC) THE FRONT SEAT EVEN ITS CURRENT CONDITION (SEE PIC) IS EASILY WORTH $500. CAR DOE HAVE KEYS WITH IT THAT FIT THE IGNITION AND TRUNK. THE DRIVERS DOOR SEEMS TO BE LOCKED AND STUCK. IT OPENED A FEW MONTHES AGO. THIS CAR IS A TRUE HOLIDAY HARDTOP 88 WITH THE OLDS ROCKET ENGINE. ENGINE STILL TURNS OVER GOOD BUT HAS NOT BEEN STARTED FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS AS STATED. AS FAR AS THE MILES THAT IS WHAT IS LISTED ON THE TITLE AND THEY ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACTUAL. IT COMES WITH A HORN RING FOR THE WHEEL THAT DOES FIT (IT IS ON THE CAR NOW). IT HAS AN EXTRA PIECE OF CHROME FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR; THE ONE ON THE CAR IS BENT.... THE FRONT HOOD CHROME PIECE COMES WITH THE CAR AS WELL. (YOU MAY NOTICE IT IS ON IN SEVERAL OF THE PICS) THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE HOOD HAS A TEAR WHERE IT WAS BUCKLED BEFORE THE HINGES WERE LUBED. IT WILL NEED TO BE WELDED. IT HAS VISE GRIPS HOLDING IT TOGETHER NOW. ALL IN ALL THE CAR IS 95 PERCENT COMPLETE AND JUST NEEDS A HAPPY HOME. IT WOULD MAKE AN AMAZING PROJECT FOR YOU TO WORK ON AND ONE DAY TAKE YOUR WIFE TO THE LOCAL CRUISE IN! BASICALLY SOLID RESTORATION CANDIDATE. AND AN INTERESTING PROJECT. COMPLETELY RESTORED IT COULD EASILY BE WORTH 35 GRAND PLUS. I JUST DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO WORK ON IT. THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION!!!LAST BID TAKES IT! BID QUICK AND SCARE THE OTHERS OFF!!!
