1953 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 custom
1953 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Custom
This is a running & driving 53 Olds. It has the original 303 Rocket V8 engine with a factory standard shift transmission.
It runs, drives & stops. The battery is good & the generator has been converted to an alternator. The engine starts right up & the clutch & transmission are good & smooth, easy to drive.
The bad part is:
The speedo broke at71,085 miles. True mileage is unknown.
The engine does smoke a little but hits on all 8 cylinders.
There is about 1/8 of a turn of slack in the steering wheel.
Needs a complete interior, seats are there but will need covering.
There is one window garnish missing,off the passenger front door.
There is a crack in the right rear wing window.
There is one small dent in the trunk lid just above the license plate.
Going to need tail light lenses.
There are a lot of good things though like:
No lower end noises like mains or inserts.
New exhaust system already installed
Wide White Walls on all 4 corners.
Some really nice old school pinstriping.
No rust through in the floors, trunk & rocker panels.
Decent driver paint. An older paint job but looks good at 20 feet.
A clear blue Texas Title & the Form 130-U.
It is a project that can be driven while you fix it up.
All lights work including the blinkers.
Gas gauge works!
Look at the pictures, I took them on July 9, 2018. They are large clear pics & should show everything you need to see.
