Oldsmobile : Eighty-Eight Super 88

Up for auction is our exceptionally high quality 1960 Oldsmobile Super 88 2 door hardtop.   These cars rarely come available for sale. especially in this condition.   This car has truly survived the test of time.   Being sold new in Denver. Colorado and being here since. it has stayed well preserved from rust and corrosion.   Much of the paint on this car is original and very nice.   The right door and fender was spotted due to a deep scratch. but the paint match is perfect.   The leading edge of the hood has some light rock chips that have also been touched up.   But for 54 year old paint. it looks great.   All of the stainless and chrome is in beautiful condition along with all of the glass.   Even the plated pot metal parts are nearly perfect with no pitting.  

The interior is absolutely beautiful and the most attractive part of this car.   It is truly the centerpiece.    The dash is all original and perfect.   All of the switches feel crisp. the chrome is all smooth and the padded top is soft and free of cracks.   All of the gauges work and light up as they should. At night the “Olds Super Eighty Eight” passenger lens looks awesome and is a great feature to this car.   The steering wheel is nice but has a few small splits.   The carpet. headliner and seat covers are all brand new.   The carpet had some stains and the seat covers were starting to deteriorate along with the headliner.   Since this car has such a stylish interior we decided to restore these parts with NOS Oldsmobile materials costing a fortune.   Now when you look inside the car. it has a fresh new look that is very correctly done for the cars originality.   The door panels and other small parts of the interior are original and very nice.  

This car does feature power steering. power brakes. power windows. power front seat and a working wonderbar radio.   I believe everything works perfectly except the dash clock.   It was a NOS piece that quit shortly after installing it.   The wheels are the originals with (very hard to find)  Super 88 trim rings and poverty caps.   New correct bias ply wide white wall tires give the car that original look it deserves.

Under the hood is fully detailed and is nearly show quality.   The firewall is all original and shows well.   The engine and surrounding parts have been repainted and detailed.   The engine runs very well. its quiet and smooth with no odd noises or issues.   The steering. brakes. suspension. exhaust and drive line have all had attention over the years keeping the car reliable and safe.

If you are looking for a very nice 60 Olds 2 door hardtop that is ready to enjoy and needs nothing. then this is the car for you.   These cars are getting very difficult to find and are so unique.   Its fun taking this car to a car show because its always to only 60 Olds there. The Super 88 having the BIG 394 cubic inch 315hp big block with factory dual exhaust also makes this car fun to drive.   It will surprise you how quick it is.  

I have described this car to my best knowledge and with full honesty.   I have been an ebay member since 2000 with 100% feedback.   I have a clean and open Colorado title that is ready to transfer ownership.   So if you have questions please call 303 475-4544 for more information.    Thanks for checking out my Olds.
