1965 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight

425 2v

400

Clear

Nice stock vehicle, very clean and mostly all original, low miles, drives sooth, shifts nice. Great interior and trunk. Engine compartment needs cleaned to bring it up to par with the rest of vehicle. Front seat has been redone with original fabric, rear seat is original and lightly split and weak in places. Front seat back needs to have seat belts threaded through it for front seat belts. Seat belt roller covers are brittle plastic, one is broken, and plastic seat belt sleeves for front seat are brittle and one is cracked as well. Trunk mat is a repro, cut to fit professionally. Jack all there, has instructions for it on underside of trunk lid. Spare is cool old bias ply, do not use. Body looks lightly repainted at some point, color looks different depending on the light, metallic light blue to seafoam green. Chrome and stainless looks good. Body has some light scratches here and there heavy scratch/small small dent on front right fender, not bad. Bumpers look great. A few dings in rear, not bad either. Has air shocks in back. Floor metal and frame look great, I doubt this has been driven much in snow. From what I can tell, it was bought new in Van Nuys, Calif, has original protect o plate in glove box. It has been owned in Missouri and Mississippi, then here in Michigan. Not driven in winter in Michigan, stored and started from time to time in winter. Carb choke works nice, starts very easily in warm weather. I have owned it for 2 years and can no longer afford to take care of it and work on it to keep it up in its beautiful condition. I have put only about 300 to 500 miles on it since I've had it. Body lines all look good, doors shut nicely. Heater does not work, fan works and heater core is bypassed. Put new master brake cylibner on last year, and left side valve cover gasket. I have the right side valve cover gasket, it needs to be put on. Also installed an new water pump, it is a tiny bit longer than the original, so serpentine belt sticks out a bit farther at water pump but still works for now, it runs the alternator... I have the original water pump, it should be rebuilt and put back on so that belt will be ensured to be lined up correctly. AC does not work, I took the belt off and have it too. Engine does not use oil, tail pipe looks good and normal. Wheels on it now are 15" and from the 70's I think. Hubcaps are also later, tires are radials in quite good shape. I have original 14" wheels and original hubcaps which are in very good to excellent condition, wheels have old tires on them, they are no good, must get new 14" tires of your choice if you want to put original wheels back on. Look how clean it is, please email questions. As is, no warranty. Down payment of $500 due in 1 day via paypal, balance in 7 days, bank check preferred. Buyer must arrange all pick up.
