First time offered, 1951 Oldsmobile 98 Convertible that needs total restoration. This car is in better than average condition regarding rust issues as it came from the dry High Desert area in Central Oregon. It does have some body damage including about 40 bullet holes from obvious target practice out in the wild west. The rocker panels are very solid, the frame is very solid and the trunk floor is NOT rusted out anywhere. The floorboards need replacing. The windshield frame was bent sometime in the car's past. I have parted out another convertible and have a complete replacement section that was carefully removed at the cowl by drilling out the spot welds. Additionally, the donor car has provided many extra parts including two very nice straight doors, a perfect dash, extra wing windows and ALL of the stainless trim for this vehicle. The top mechanism including the front header of this vehicle is also in nice condition but I haven't had the top up as the hydraulic cylinders are stuck as well as the window "power" cylinders. During the past ten years that I have owned this vehicle, I have purchased loads of N.O.S. parts and hard to find parts for it from local swap meets and ebay sellers. I had removed the Rocket 303 engine and automatic transmission from it a few years ago and haven't touched it since. The car and all of the above listed parts have been in dry inside storage since I bought it and everything is included in this listing. Clear title with no brands. Local pick up, I have a tractor to help load the car. Buyer is responsible to arrange for shipping. I try to over describe all of my listings with clear closeup photos so there are no surprises to the buyer. I have included the maximum photos (24) for viewing, however this is the first time I have listed a vehicle to sell so I am sure there are questions to be answered. The car and parts are available for inspection and I welcome prospective buyers to do so if possible. I have a 100% positive feedback and thrive to keep it.Thanks.
