1961 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 Celebrity 3-Speed Manual

1961 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 Celebrity Factory 3-Speed Manual Transmission.Listed on Bring a Trailer - (no reserve) Current bid $3650.00
[size=13px]Radio delete, manual brakes and steering. As basic as they came from the factory. Too bad it's the low compression 2 barrel version of the 394. The seller has a youtube channel with some fun videos and a real car guy. If you want to smile watch the 1966 Pontiac Catalina 2+2 4 speed he did.[/size]

That is seriously cool! This was the base equipment for that year and model.

Hope who ever buys it leaves it just the way it is. What do think it'll end up selling for?

I agree. Buy it and don't change a thing. This car is a time warp. Love it.

Somebody is going to get a very nice car for not a lot of money. It has a good chance of remaining a survivor and being messed up into a hot rod, or resto mod because it's a four door post sedan. I love this car!

Hopefully it will go to a home that appreciates its originality, and not be butchered up with a LS swap.

What a fantastic car, too bad it is so far away from me. Now this is what it's all about, jump in and go and it's 1961 all over again.

Bid is at $6,100. It's a no reserve car so it will sell.

Wow. Bit of a jump in the last 5 minutes, huh? Hope it doesn't end up a restomod.

It sold for $17,000.
Quite a bargain, considering it's very good original condition.

I have to say that while that car is gorgeous, I would not have pegged the sold price that high.

OUCH! And here I was thinking we were finally going to see a somewhat bargain price, not to be, I guess.

Agree, most of us have been around long enough to know if you only starting driving that car to the burger stand on Saturday night it will start falling apart.Hopefully the new owner has a collection of cars and he added the 61 to it and does not drive it. Its a time capsule.

That would be a shame. These cars were great drivers.

If it's a good operable car, and you can't drive it, why own it?
