Price: US $8,800.00 SOLD OUT
This original 1971 Olds Custom 88 has the big block 455 Rocket motor. The car has been stored in a locked garage in Southern California since at least 2005. The elderly lady who owned it probably has not driven it much since 2002 when her husband passed. The car was bought new by the couple in Downey, California. The original dealer license plate rings are still attached to the car. The car is on California NON-OP so there are no back fees. The car was removed and over $3500 invested to get the car back to its original state. The body was cleaned and buffed. The interior was cleaned the engine was detailed. A new radiator and carb rebuilt along with the gas tank removal and cleaned. (Receipts given to the new owner). A new battery was also installed. I've driven this car a short distance. It does have the original or fairly original bias-ply tires (15") that need to be removed and replaced with some quality radials. The shocks appear to be soft. The hood handle near the drivers foot is gone. A string is attached to pop the hood. The dashboard is pristine. (see the pictures) There is a small hole in the exhaust pipe that goes over the rear differential. Open up the exhaust with duals, and flowmasters...yeah! The car is what it is. An original version of the 1971 Delta 88 2 door hardtop with a vinyl top. The original seat covers are still on the rear seats and passenger side. WE HAVE ALL FOUR HUBCAPS. The car is up for offers, and we will consider every offer. Transport to your location is the buyers responsibility. I rented a Uhaul trailer. The car got a lot of attention coming north out of Los Angeles, simply because the car is so straight and original. THis would make a great Christmas present to the lucky guy or gal. What a weekend cruiser. We as a family considered keeping this car because we have a vintage Airstream travel trailer, and we would like to see the USA. What a combination that would be! The 455 would have no problems towing that trailer. THE FOLLOWING IS WHAT WAS REPAIRED to make this car ready for sale: Rear brakes, front brakes, control arm bushings, sway bar link replaced, valve cover gaskets, manifold intake gasket replaced, fuel pump replaced, fuel filter, spark plugs, cap, rotor, carburetor rebuilt, radiator replaced, (there may be more since I was taking notes from the lawyer.. So, we present to you for your consideration an original 1971 Olds Delta 88 2 door under 75,000 original miles. FOOTNOTE: This Olds "May" be donated to charity per the trust attorney's instruction. We might donate this car and take the tax write off which would benefit the estate over a direct sale.
