Project car - needs full restoration.

This is "Angelina"; a true, no-post coupe - one of only 13,669 made. I call her that because she is long, lean and deserves a lot of attention. Given the rarity of this classic (and parts), I had planned on building her into a resto-rod. However, many of the parts are interchangable with the other GM '59 C-Body models and even more can be replaced with more modern and safer parts.

The stats:
1959 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight (98)
Model #3837 Holiday SceniCoupe
Engine: 394 CI V-8, 315 hp (Olds' 1st big block Rocket)
Weight: 4,360 lbs
Wheelbase: 126.3"

Unfortunately, I have fallen on very hard times and can no longer plan better times for her. Even if I sell the Olds, it probably won't stop foreclosure, but she still needs a good home.

I drove the Olds into the garage 3 yrs ago, but have not started it up since. If you're looking for a daily driver, this isn't it. This is a project car. I have parts that I spent 2 yrs collecting and I have more than $5,000 invested in the project. I have one picture online and have many that I will be more than happy to provide.

Parts include:
Trunk pan (NOS), Rocker panels (NOS), Inner Rocker panels (NOS), 88 Aluminum Dash (used), Rear Bumper (used & rechromed), RR & RL Spear Trims (used), Rear Qtr panel fins (used), Heat/AC Controls (used), Backup Lights (NOS), GM/Olds Manual (used), Grill (used), Rear Deck Handle and Trim (used), Hood Lip Trim (used), License Tag Lights (used), Front Directional Lens' (used)

Looking for $3,500 OBO For the car AND all the parts I have purchased.
I cannot do delivery, but if you want to make arrangements, I will facilitate in any way I can.

Please, don't be afraid to make an offer...I've had a few inqueries for pictures, but no offers. I have a full 360 of the interior - not pretty, but it's freakin huge!

Good luck selling it. Sorry to hear about your bad times. I hope things get better for you.

RingLeader1

Thanks, Olds64. My father's favorite quote was, "This, too, shall pass." Sort of a race against time right now. Started my own biz 10 months ago because no one wanted to hire a middle-aged, self-taught programmer. Deep down, I secretly hope no one will take an interest and that I will be able to finally rebuild this car after soooo many delays. But the reality is more likely that I will never see her all dressed up...

RingLeader1

I'll take $1200, just for the car, if anyone is interested. I'll just have to save the parts for ebay or something.

Olds64

Hope it sells.

RingLeader1

Thanks, Olds64. This is what I get for biting off more than I can chew, lol.

Best of luck. I hope you get lucky enough not to have to sell and can work on your dream in the future.

RingLeader1

Thanks, Cameo. Unfortunately, I'm already in the court system fighting foreclosure - just another statistic, right? It ain't over til it's over, but in the meantime, due to all the requests for more pics, I created an online album. Here's the link:

Thanks again,

Oh you must listen to a show I heard. There was a guy on the Alex Jones Show last week. An attorney who has so many ways for you to stay in your home and stop the foreclosures. I forgot his name but just google Alex Jones foreclosure and also go on YouTube on TheAlexJonesChannel. This is so important for a guy getting hosed by the system. You can fight back.

I sent you an email so you can ask any questions. I do wish to update this ad for anyone interested, though. As I have written before, I have $5000 invested and I would take $1200 just for the car and not the parts. However, instead of the $3500 or BO for both, I would take $2200 for everything.

Thanks,
Dan

That would be an awesome car when done. The original color appears to have been burgundy mist as shown on underside of the trunk lid. I have a 98 conv that was the same color and a project car as well. I hope someone snaps it up soon. Good Luck with the sale.

stranger

got your email and replied... thnx again...

RingLeader1

Still hanging in there and I still have the Olds. I just relisted it last week and again today on eBay. Looking to get $2500 and I will include all the parts and all the garage tools I bought to do the work. A prospective buyer recently came by to see the car and said the stainless steel chrome was in really good condition - he would know better than I and anyone wanting to stop by and check it for themselves is welcome to.

Not sure if I can post the link to ebay, so I won't. But anyone not finding it, let me know and I'll send it to you.

Thanks,
Dan

looked on ebay but didn't find the link for a '59 Olds 98...

jaunty75

Yes, I searched for "1959 Oldsmobile 98" in as many different ways as I could think of, and I couldn't find it, either.

stranger

he sent me the link - its a classified ad, so it only reaches out 250 miles from the seller's zip code...

I see. Thanks.

RingLeader1

Like I said, I wasn't sure I could post the link, lol. Thanks Mark!

Well, a long time, but the Olds has found a new home with a gentleman in Louisiana. This car has been sold. Thanks.
