Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight (1980)
for sale

Price: US $700.00

Description:

Needs body and mechanical work. Planned on fixing it up but have not had the time. Last driven and passed Maryland Emissions testing in 2005. Has been sitting in driveway covered with tarp since 2007. Needs at least a battery and new brake lines. Will start with new battery but cannot be driven without brakes. Some rusting has taken place and there are dents that need to be addressed. Will need new paint job as well as interior work on front driver seat and ceiling fabric needs to be replaced. Have 2 of the original hub caps, both in good condition (not in photos).
The car was owned by my dad who was disabled and passed away in 1999. It was then driven by my son for a few years until he bought his own vehicle. Engine only has 62, 204 miles on it and had great V8 pickup. It has not been driven since 2007 but I got it started recently by temporarily hooking up a friends new battery and priming the carb. It was run for a good 25 minutes where I found that the brakes did not work although the emergency brake was fine. The transmission worked but the A/C needed help. My guess is that the fr-eon leaked out after a period of time. Now, I am intending to move shortly and need to sell the car.


This is a great deal for someone who wants to take on a moderate restoration and who likes cars with real pick-up. I can provide some maintenance records from 1986 through 2003. For shipping purposes the car is located in zip code 21228 (Maryland).

I am not trying to make a killing so I am selling low, hopefully to a good owner, to avoid the car going to scrap and then to China.
