1963 Oldsmobile Super 88 Fiesta Wagon. We purchased this time capsule from the daughter of the prior owner (she inherited it when he passed a few years ago).Car has been sitting in barn/garage for 15-20 years with limited/no use.Daughter stated original mileage, and our inspection supports this as mostly original parts on vehicles, and very limited wear on normal wear items.When her father was alive they used it primarily for car shows, etc. Has a 394 Skyrocket V8, Three speed automatic transmission. Loaded with many rare factory options: air conditioning, cruise control, auto dim head lights, tilt wheel, power windows, power seats, and a roof rack to name a few. We bought the car last fall. Besides addressing mechanical issues (so that we could ensure car ran, etc), we wanted to preserve the car as we found it. We've done nothing to the body except for a good wash and vacuum.Mechanically we and performed the following repairs: original alternator and original starter we're rebuilt, rebuilt original carburetor, rebuilt original fuel pump, new air filter, new spark plugs, new water pump, new front brake hoses, lines, all four wheel cylinders and master cylinder. Engine starts and sounds great, brakes work and trans engages smoothly. We have not been able to take on extended test run due to weather here in PA. This car is super solid. Much of it appears to be original paint. There are a few areas that show signs of some paintwork. Left fender has been painted and refinish is peeling off.Chrome is peeling off the underside of bumpers.Trim is in nice shape, interior is nice/clean and appears original.Underside of car, frame and engine compartment have surface rust from moisture, but no rot. Vehicle is available for inspection, please contact us to make arrangements.As with all of our vehicles, if you purchase sight unseen and feel we misrepresented it, we will not hold you to transaction (before it leaves our showroom).Please do not bid unless you intend to follow through with transaction!
