For Sale 1964 Olds Jetstar88...Needs engine

I have a 64 Jetstar88 Celebrity Sedan for sale. Absolutely gorgeous condition. Interior immaculate. Slight wear/tear on body. Tranny, brakes, electrics, heater, radio all work great. She overheated, and now the factory 330 in her is seized. Rebuild or swap for 350 or bigger.

2500 cash money. Car is in Providence, RI

I will take better pics tomm, the car is at the shop right now, and those are the pics I had on my phone. The car is beautiful, and it breaks my heart to try and sell her. Interior is immaculate.Not even a stitch out of place on the headliner. Everything looks like its 5 years old, not almost 50.
Plus I have the original rims to go with her. A new muffler and tailpipe as well, still in the box.

AJ, maybe you & your mechanic should check on this before you go selling:

Honestly, a car that nice is worth putting a motor in. A used motor from someone reputable on this site, shouldn't be that expensive. Swapping them is an afternoon project. I'd try another mechanic. 5-6K sounds a little out of line....
