1966 Dynamic 88 Convertible project

I just picked this up from one of my customers. He gave up on it. Its a big project but not totally gone. It will need quarters and a drivers fender. All interior redone. But the floors and frame are good. . Im gonna get it running today maybe bleed the brakes and drive it. It has a good core support and good driver/core bumpers. Lots of parts that come with it. all trim is there. Its a big project for sure. But still doable. Ill give it a try for a few days. EDIT Selling as a Roller for $800 No motor or trans

Thanks for saving the car! Your price is very fair, especially if the car runs and can be driven. It's definitely a project, but a good one.

If the whole frame is as clean as the pic you showed, that should be an easy sell! I haven't seen any that clean in forever!

Well it runs and drives now. Runs real good. Trans shifts good. Im sure it will all need to be gone through and checked out. But its cool. We had it up to 50mph and took it on a 15 mile trip on the back roads.

Nice work! I know you love these Olds', and hate to part them out. Sadly there are more orphans than parents willing to adopt. Good luck, and good save.

No i did not. I like the wagon. But right now dont wanna take on that project. You wanna toss out a few ideas or options? How about it as a roller. I already have the motor out and spent hours cleaning it. Tomorrow im gonna finish up on it. Replace a few gaskets and paint it. Then tune it and back on the run stand.
