1961 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight fiesta

Offering for sale a rare and desirable Oldsmobile station wagon. There were only 15,300 1961 Olds wagons produced with a scant 4000 of those being the Dynamic 88 Fiesta 3-seat models. As it was purchased from Arizona, the body was great but everything else was well worn. We have resto-modded it by replacing the engine with a 6 litre LQ9 out of a Denali and mated that to a 4L65E transmission. All suspension components are fully rebuilt and it has power steering; we added power 4 wheel disc brakes, aluminium radiator, a custom built exhaust system with Flowmaster 50 series mufflers and much more. The paint and body work as well as the necessary fabrication for the engine fitment was professionally completed. The car was originally all white, we have repainted it white with a silver roof and it has had a total interior restoration too. The tri-colour factory interior was recreated: logos that were heat stamped in 1961 are now stitched into the seats and door panels. Under the carpeting and headliner the car was completely covered with Dynamat sound deadening material for a much quieter and cooler ride. The original board headliner panels were covered in perforated satin finish vinyl to compliment the interior and mimic the original look. There were no corners cut or expenses spared, the car was restored to exacting standards for the planned 'many years of enjoyment'. mileage is not known for age of the car but has under 2000 since restored.This car is in Canada and easily imported back to the US or exported world wide thanks for looking. Bidding is in USD.
