1950 Oldsmobile Futuramic 88 4-door sedan West Texas barn find. From the estate of the original owner, this car's engine quit running in 1965 resulting in the owner placing the car in his barn for safe keeping. When I purchased the car, the engine needed to be rebuilt, so I delivered it to Freeman Motors, Levelland, Texas, where Norm Freeman completely rebuilt the engine to new specifications. The V8 was bored 030, crank was polished to factory standard. Total cost for the engine, transmission adjustments, and U-joint replacements was $4794.20 was completed on November 8, 2012. The radiator core was replaced at a cost of $445.99. Brakes were rebuilt at a cost $793.67. Battery was replaced on 10-31-13. The engine starts easily and runs quietly. Transmission functions as it should. Interior is original, has a few small tears but could be used as is. Original rubber floor mat should be replaced. All original glass is nice, windows roll up and down easily. Original spare is in the trunck. Hub caps are original. This car could be enjoyed as a survivor or restored as an example of the car and the engine that revolutionized automotive racing. Clear Texas title. I will respond promptly to email questions. The car was purchased new at the dealership in Amarillo, Texas and has been in rust-free West Texas since new. "Futuramic" indicates the Olds has the lighter, Chevy body. Thanks for bidding.
