'65 Olds Dynamic 88 Holiday Sedan with Super Rocket 425ci and TH400.
The car has less than 76K on the clock; cylinders never bored, factory forged crank never turned.
It sat out for many years. Dead leaves built up around the back window trim and rusted the bottom of the window channel out. The car took on water. When I got it, the inner rear fenders were full and water was overflowing into the floorboards- which were so solid they HELD WATER. I bailed the water out and have kept the car inside. Everything made of fabric was ruined as were the electrical switches (corroded due to humidity in the car).
Still a good Super Rocket engine, the TH400, good fenders, doors, trunklid, glass, all trim, taillights, unwrecked bumpers, decent hood, etc.
Being a '65 model 4-door car it was made before "engineering for weight reduction" was popular -- with steel prices what they are, it's worth something as scrap alone. I would rather see it go to someone who enjoys Oldsmobiles though. A mere hour from Evansville, IN
