The car is in decent shape; however, it does have its flaws. The good thing is that it starts up easily and runs. I drive it every day to work (about 10 miles one direction). I also have alot of parts for it. I have a straight rear bumper (it just needs rechromed), two carburetors, multiple mechanical fuel pumps, the original air cleaner housing, the original AM/FM radio, and various dash pieces.
The worst part about the car is that the interior needs to be restored. Right now I have make shift seat covers in it. The body is in decent shape. The only rust is some rot along the fenders where the hood meets the body. There are two surface rust spots on the front and rear fenders but other than that the body is solid. The car has a Macco paint job but was originally blue. The engine ticks and I think it is an exhaust leak. I have the gaskets for the exhaust manifold I just haven't gotten around to fixing it. Finally, the transmission is in bad shape and needs to be rebuilt soon. I tore it apart about 5 years ago and put new steels and clutches in it; however, it has an internal fluid leak. It does good in town; however, I try not to drive it over 60 miles per hour because the transmission makes noise and doesn't shift into 4th properly.
Check out the attached pictures. I will give it awhile here on Classic Olds but if nobody is interested I will put it on-line and in the local paper. I am in Lawton, OK. It is about 2 hours away from Dallas and an hour away from Oklahoma City. The car is in good enough shape to drive someplace as long as it isn't too far. I drove it 400 miles from Kansas a few months ago. I am asking $2000 obo. You will also get a full set of 1964 Oldsmobile Service Manuals when you buy the car. Just reply to the thread or PM me for more info.
