Famed kustomizer John D'Agostino picked up this Super 88 and got to work on conveying his vision to master craftsman John Aiello from Sahagon's Custom Car Concepts. Together they upgraded and detailed the stock chassis. Molded. nosed. and decked the body. and filled all body seams. Up front. he installed a redesigned 1960 Mercury grille with Lucas headlights out back. taillights from a 1956 Olds were 'Frenched' into place. Sahagon's Darrell Hollenbeck then expertly applied the custom PPG Pagan Gold paint. leading the Super 88 to be christened "Golden Starfire. " Inside. Sahagon's Craig Willits reupholstered the '63 Buick Riviera seats in white pearlescent Naugahyde. Along with a matching dashboard and steering wheel. (this custom Olds was equipped with a beverage cooler and seven-inch TV for the show circuit. -since removed). Recently. the 68 k-mile former Rod & Custom magazine cover car has had a whole slew of mechanical updates. such as a new water pump. timing chain. ball joints. control arm bushings. and more. With a refreshed 394 and Hydra-Matic transmission. plus a new/vintage heating/AC unit. all that's needed is you to hop in and start cruising.

John D'Agostino. The man has left a trail of customs to be envied: Midnight Sensation. Golden Sunrise. Royal Tahitian. Gable. Golden Star. Marilyn. and Stardust to name a few of the more well-known. The list speaks for itself. If those names aren't familiar. you're not into customs.
