Vehicle Detail
Original Super 88 bought new from Bradley Oldsmobile, Tulsa Oklahoma and in Texas until 1987 (see photos). The following modifications were done by a previous owner:Dual exhausts w/Flowmaster mufflersGM hydrovac brake boosterThe good:Quiet running original engine, starts on first try, no smoke and excellent oil pressureOriginal Rochester 4 barrel carburetor.Rust free body with the exception of a small hole in the right rear passenger floor and very minor bubble on front left fender by doorCharging system works fine.Optima battery (2.5 years old)Cooling system regulates fine.The bad:Brakes work but Hydrovac needs repair. I would not trust the brakes on the street until either the Hydrovac is repaired or removed from the system (this would return the brakes to the original manual brakes).Transmission leaks at the front. It shifts through all the gears but in my opinion the 2nd to 3rd shift is harsh.Rear end makes noise when coasting.Horn, turn signals, heater blower, and radio do not workKnob for drivers vent window doesn't stay on.Slight binding of right passenger door on fender when opened.I have put a video on YouTube. Do a search for "1954 Oldsmobile Super 88 eBay" to find the video. Inspection of the vehicle is welcomed. Vehicle has current California registration and a clear title. I purchased this Oldmobile 3 years ago but have run out of time and space to give it proper attention. Mileage is unknown. Vehicle is sold as-is, where-is, and will need to be moved via trailer due to brakes. Please contact me with questions or for additional photos.
