1961 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88

Up for sale is my 1961 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 4 door sedan.  It still wears about 50% of its original Autumn Mist paint.  The white top has been repainted in the past, and the top surfaces of doors, quarters, and trunk lid look like they have been painted.  Left front fender was replaced at some point and the paint is a slight mismatch.  I will list out all of the major areas of the car and describe to the best of my abilities.  Please take a look at this walk-around video I posted on YouTube to see many of the areas up close in detail (you will have to copy the text and paste the link in a browser):https://youtu.be/wHdw_DanX2QBody/Paint:As stated above, about half of the car is original paint.  The rest is an older repaint, and the left front fender is replaced.  The body is surprisingly solid with nearly no rot.  Right rear door shows some perforation on the lower corner.  And the floor has some light rust-through in the driver front toe board.  Trunk floor is solid as a rock.Interior:Mostly original with the exception of the carpet, which was recently replaced.  Door panels have some tattering at the bottoms, which can be seen clearly in the video link posted above.  Seats are original upholstery, and are in excellent condition.  There is one light scuff/tear in the right rear seat up near the top.  Headliner is bright white with one small tear in the left rear near the coat hook.  Dash pad/top is just covered by a piece of vinyl that matches the color of the interior.  I suppose it's better than what was there before, and doesn't look terrible.  But it could be better.  Radio doesn't work, but there are speakers wired in at the kick panels, and wires run to the back for a pair of 6x9's not installed.  There is a mystery 1/8" jack/plugin behind the AC unit, which I am thinking may be for music input.  The AC DOES work, and seems to work well.  Speedometer works and is quiet.  Clock does not work.Engine/Transmission:The engine is a 394 2bbl and it starts and runs really well.  Transmission is the Slim Jim and I don't have any complaints about how it works.  They are kind of a weird transmission that takes some getting used-to.  The engine compartment looks reasonably clean.  Generator was converted to alternator at some point.  There is an electric fuel pump wired in near the back of the car, but I have never needed to use it.  It's possible that it was installed as a pusher pump to hedge against vapor lock or something.  I don't know.Brakes:Manual brakes feel good and stop the car well.Tires/Wheels:Brand new Vitour 14" radial white walls.  Deluxe wheel covers with the insets painted white to match the top.  They are in good driver condition.Trunk Area:Pretty much immaculate.  Completely original with original spare tire and cardboards.  Floor doesn't even have a speck of rust on it.Glass:It's all in good shape.  No cracks or de-lamination.  I think there are some marks in the front windshield where in the past some bad wipers were scratching it.  It doesn't cause issue with line of sight while driving though.Weatherstripping:Trunk seal is original and intact.  It appears that maybe the door seals were replaced, because they are all in good shape.Paperwork:I have a bunch of receipts from past repairs that other owners have kept.  Original owners manual and clean title.I WILL sell worldwide.  Buyer is responsible for shipping.  I have an excellent contact if you need someone to get you a quote after you've purchased.  You can usually bet of $1.50-2.00 per mile if you want to estimate yourself.  The company I use typically can pick up a car quickly.PLEASE make all efforts to read this in detail and watch the video in the link provided.  It will answer 90% of your questions.
