Just removed from a 76 oldsmobile 98. Runs like a top. Tranny shifts great. The car was owned by a local funeral home. They said the mileage was original as they had purchased the car new, but who knows? Car had 63,000 and some change on it. The combo is fairly clean, and considering the source, I beleive it to be true. 100% complete wireing and all. Interior on the car was immaculate with no wear on the brake pedal, or the gas pedal................But it is a 76 model, and could have easily rolled over................I really dont know. Pics available, and I can fire it up on a test stand so you can hear it run. $500 obo. Located in central IL. 62092. Local pick-up, or possible delivery available for a fee..........................The body of the car is long gone................Thanks, Mike.

 

I'll give this 1 day on here. Maybe 2 because i don't think a 76 can accept stick shift.

 

Who said it had a stick? I said that it shifts good. Its a turbo 400 tranny, and shifted AS AN AUTOMATIC TRANNY should. No hesitations, and shifted nice and smooth. Ive seen them where they seemed to slam into gear. Not this one.................................Nice and smooth........................Will seperate engine and tranny............................................ Mike.

 

I sent messages to a couple people for ya supercharged.
That thing should be gone in a flash with 3000 olds fans on here.

 

Thanks! I also have a few 350 rockets.........complete carb to pans, other 455s, that are "unknown codition" and a 73 cutluss 2 door project or parts car that is 100% complete, original, and barn fresh. Literally.

 

Too bad you are all the way over in IL.

 

Oklahoma, huh. I come down there for parts cars quite frequently. I have to drive to Springfeild Mo. in the next few weeks if this will help you out any. I can throw the hoist in for the transfer..................................Mike.

 

Do I smell a road trip? sniff, sniff.

Jesse, working on that other deal for you. Couldn't contact that guy yesterday, you know high school kids.

 

still have that motor and tranny?

 

Sure do.

 

sent you a email

 

Do any of your 455s have the hole in the back of the block for stick shift ball pivots??

It will be on the driver's side behind the flywheel.

 

do you still have this motor

 

do u still got it

 

Do you still have the 455? What are you asking for the 350's?

 

LET THIS THREAD DIE!!!!

 

I talked to the guy recently and he said he still had it for sale.

 

do u still got it let me know

 

was this motor and tranny in the home's hearse or procession vehicles? if yes, i would bet that mileage is original and accurate. those cars didn't "go out much" and were likely kept spotless, in a climate-controlled garage. i have a friend that used to be "in the business". funeral homes are fantastic sources for older cars with low mileage, in excellent condition.
