• Rare Body #1 1962 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 Convertible , had Ross racing transmission chevy 350 swap kit installed , runs great , body in good shape , needs paint redone , New tires put on this year , have extra parts with it , I've had it 7 years did a lot of work to it , needs someone who loves these cars to finish it up ,

 

Great looking car. Was just reading your posts about the slim jim swap to the TH350. Sorry to see you are selling it. What was the total cost to do that conversion? Do you recommend it?

 

GLWS! Getting rid of that Slim Jim Rotohydramatic was the best thing to do to that car. I don't know how much it cost or how big a hassle it was though.

 

I had no choose ,just could not get slim jim fixed , the kit with shipping was told around 7000 , when I bought mine from Ross racing it was 5400 , I drove out to get it save on shipping , its a lot of work to install on 62 , if you look up member KQQCAT they did it to 61 olds ,was an easier install , I had my slim jim rebuilt twice and still would slip in high gear , both times it was over 5grand , I am happy with swap ,runs really great now , cars no good if I can't drive it .

Are those fender skirts orginal? I’ve been looking for awhile for my 62 super 88

 

According to that body tag, it was the first 1962 Dynamic 88 convertible assembled at South Gate, CA.
It was assembled the third week of August 1961.

 

I wonder if @ripper27 finally sold her? I love the red top.

 

sorry did not see your post , no I have not sold my 62 yet , got many offers but most want it for nothing so they can resell it , I lowered it to 15000 that as low as I will go for now , I still enjoy driving it , come spring theres a few thing I still want to fix , thanks sorry i didn't see your post , I don't remember getting an email on your post
