I person I bought this from said their family is the original owner, grandma was too old to drive it as she was in her 90's. They didn't have the protect-o-plate. I don't have any doubts though as this car is very well cared for and very clean.
This has a very smooth running Oldsmobile V8 425ci Super Rocket motor and a turbo hydra-matic A/T. Yes, itacceleratesvery much like an Oldsmobile is known for. It is quiet, unassuming but puts you back in your seat as it quickly gets up to speed. This rare 88 came with the following:Power windowsPower convertible topPower brakesPower steeringA/C...thisworks very well and blows very cold.
I assume the mileage of 76,047 to be accurate. The car is too nice for the odometer to have rolled over.
This beautiful convertible was bought new in san Fernando valley and spent its entire life here in So Cal. It has the original black plates and there is NO RUST. The exterior is nice and clean in the original color but not the original paint, It was painted several years ago and has some small chips that have been fixed. The paint is nice but not show quality. Interior is very clean, but the door panels have some wear on them is shown in the pics. I would replace them for a clean look if I were to keep the car. The edge of the passenger-side door panel is taped at the corner. The driver side door panel needs repair at the front bottom corner. The dash board and gauges are all original and work except the radio and clock. The dash pad needs repair on the top passenger side. The trunk has been re-finished with carpet all the way around for a very finished look. The convertible top is NEW. The Power Brakes work like NEW and stops on a dime. This has a NEW convertible top pump. This also has NEW window motors for both rear windows.
Overall this lovely, rare Dynamic rides very smooth with plenty of power. The Olds 425 Super Rocket motor is known to be one of the best motors that Oldsmobile made. This is a very, very fun car to motor the family around town in, take the family out for ice cream or grab your surfboard and hit the beach. My 5-year old daughter loves driving in this car.
I really wanted to put some cool wheels to complete this car, but space is limited and I need to let it go sooner than later. Check out the cool wheels on the 88 in the last pic...this is what I would do.I will also be selling a #'s matching 67 Firebird 400 A/C 4-speed.
This car does not leave my possession until payments have cleared.On Jul-02-16 at 10:36:35 PDT, seller added the following information:
