It's been chopped, has a J-2 setup 371 ci engine with a 3/4 engle cam (old school) & has a 5 speed transmission . He says it @ 70 mph on the highway only tachs 2 grand. Has 61 Buick tail lights. You can't even build on like this for that price. He did all the work himself & help from his Son. Has A/C.
Turn key for cruise in/car shows. $25,000

If interested/more details Call Jim @ 812-637-5922. No calls after 9 pm eastern standard time.
Car is located in West Harrison, Indiana. 47060

Check out the vintage flame thrower box and it works too... If anyone is wondering what that box is in the picture..?
It's model A Coils. He tells me there is nothing hotter... This car is just neat.

$25,000 or make an offer... Turn Key.

It's a really nice car. I think he will negotiate some on the price. Heck, If i had the $$ & a place to keep it, I would be mine.

He has a complete 1957 J-2 Oldsmobile motor air cleaner to oil pan sitting in the corner of his garage & other Olds parts. He might sell the engine & other stuff.

I can't believe he has not sold this car yet, it's awesome. Hopefully someone will recognize a great deal here.

Yeah, It even looks better in person. Jim is in his early 70's and realizes he needs to thin the heard some.... He's a really good guy... Old School....
