Searching for 57 Olds 98

Hi, I am searching for a 1957 Oldsmobile 98 2 dr. hardtop. Where can I obtain specification information about the car. I want to find out what size engine came with these cars. I thought I remember it was a 371 motor. Did they come with a j-2 option carburetor? Or did they come with the Golden Rocket 88? Please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, Chip. How are you? Yes. I am searching for the car. Do you the condition of the car, is it driveable or is it a project car type condition requiring me to tow it? It's the 2 dr. 98, right? What's the asking price?

I'll be heading down to wear the car is in about a month, I'll not only check it but also take my camera and get photos, I think it's a project more then anything, but from what I've found out about most cars in kansas a tune up and fresh gas and a good battery and perhaps 4 tires you can get them home under thier own power. and most just need a good bit of TLC to become everyday drivers.
