Up for auction is a 1960 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 4 door sedan This car is a true survivor. I purchased it from the estate of the original owner. This car was bought new and spent its whole life in Denver, Colorado. The original owner had it repainted in 1971. The paint is faded but might be able to be buffed up a little. The color is Copper Mist. The seats were recovered in 1974. The material is not original but is in good condition with no rips. The back of the front seat is still the original material. The door panels are original and in great shape. The front arm rests show some wear but are not torn. The dash is NOT cracked but the edge on the driver's side is lifting some. The dash chrome, gauges, instruments and radio are in great shape. The steering wheel rim has a few cracks but the chrome is great on this fantastic looking steering wheel. The radio works. The windshield wipers and the heater blower motor do not work. The speedometer needs a new cable. All of the vacuum heater controls work as they should. Power brakes and power steering. Both work fine. All 4 tires are new along with the master cylinder, all 4 wheel cylinders, all 4 corner brake shoes and new shocks front and rear. The 371 ci motor and automatic trans work great. Motor does not smoke. Trans shifts fine. Does not slip. Exhaust is good except the last two feet of tailpipe. The trunk still has most of the original cardboard panels even though the original owner glued material to them. All of the glass is in great shape with no cracks. All windows roll up and down with no problems. All lights and lenses are in good condition and work as intended. NO rust in the floors, trunk or frame. Doors, hood and decklid are all rust free. Both rocker panels are in fantastic shape as are the bottoms of the doors. There is some rust coming through on the lower edge of the front fenders (fairly common for a car of this vintage). There is a little bubbling at the doglegs in front of the rear wheels. There are two holes in the rear pan/bumper. This is extremely common on these cars. This car runs and drives very nicely. No strange noises or weird handling. All the great styling of a 1960 Oldsmobile at an affordable price. Load up some friends and go for a cruise. Nothing beats the fun of driving and old car. You don't see 1960 oldsmobiles as often as some of the other makes and you certainly don't find many that have survived the years as well as this one. This car needs to find a new home where it can be loved and appreciated as much as it was by the original owner.
