Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight (1955)
for sale

Price: US $3,800.00

Description:

1955 Oldsmobile Convertible restoration in process.
The first photo is the first of two identical cars our shop restored for one customer. The second car was started but never finished. The second car is the one listed for sale. The photo of the yellow/white 55 Olds Convertible with the 55 Buick Convertible is this actual car before disassembly, which was the original vehicle that was used as a showpiece for the Avalon Hotel in Miami's South Beach.
The car in process has a fully restored and powdercoated frame, SS brake lines, new suspension and brakes. It has custom front disk brakes that fit behind the stock rims. The engine is completely rebuilt as is the hydromatic transmission and installed in the frame.
The original body was too far gone to save but ironically the convertible chassis was in very solid shape. A rust-free two door hard top was purchased and the convertible specific pieces were salvaged from the original body and installed in the hardtop body after the roof was removed. The convertible chassis is heavily reinforced at the main X-brace in the center. The hard-tops frame complete with suspension will also be included in the sale.
There are crate after crate of parts, only a portion of which are in these photos. Lots of sheet metal, doors, fenders, hoods, and trim pieces. There is a complete top frame assembly and the original pump and hydraulic cylinders. Too much to list.
There is a second engine disassembled engine, plus another gearbox, and dozens of other parts.
All goes together.
There is over $25K in the vehicle already, over $10K in just the engine and transmission.
On Oct-23-15 at 12:07:56 PDT, seller added the following information:
As we were moving sorting through the parts, we have found the original and fully reupholstered rear seat assembly, and considerably more extra sheet metal (fenders, another hood, etc.). The parts have been laid out and are accessible for inspection for those within driving range.
I will also post more photos.
The frame was dusty in the first photos from storage, which don't do the restoration work on the chassis justice.
