Oldsmobile Other (1940)
for sale

Price: US $15,000.00

Description:

We have had this car for 1 1/2 yrs with intentions of restoring to high level of restoration or creating a really cool old school street rod. Torn between the two, it has just been sitting under our carport until we could decide. I start and drive her every month and drive around 10 miles. She starts right up and runs like a clock. Runs quiet and shifts very smoothly, very surprising for a 75 yr old car. Brakes are good. Mileage is believed to be original. Interior is in good shape. As best as I can tell through the research I have done, it has about all options offered at that time, according to paint code on data plate it should be Catalina Gray, so the Black it is now is not original. There is one small dent on top of drivers side front fender (due I think to someone leaning over into the engine compartment) about the size of a 50 cent piece. Other than that the body is super straight with no rust/bondo whatsoever. Paint has a few very small little chips and drivers side rear fender is checkered some below fuel filler. When the car was shipped to us we discovered the electrical was frayed badly. I bought a new electrical harness from top to bottom, front to back, made to original factory specs by Rhode Island Wire, but has not been installed yet, still new in box with schematics. The car doors need new weather stripping. The tires are fairly new with some scuffing on white walls. Spare in trunk as well. Car is offered for auction with a buy it now price as well. If there is an offer or before end of auction that is reasonable we reserve the right to end auction early. Also car is for sale locally and we reserve the right to end early if car sells. If you have questions call 678-859-0785. Do not make an offer or ask if it is not reasonable. I know what it is worth now and what it would bring with a little work.
