1955 Super 88 2dr Hardtop

Gotta sell my 55. We are the second owners of this car. Have the original title dated October 13, 1955. Interesting story. Interior is redone and car has been repainted. Not a show car, but a neat driver. Has 403 SBO with TH350. I put a Holley 600DP on it as the quadrajet was junk. Runs great and lots of power. Power brakes and manual steering. Wheel cylinders all rebuilt, new brake hoses and brake lines. Fender skirts are in the trunk. If you are looking for a good street rod, this could be it. Located in northern Minnesota.
$13,500 OBO.

I took the continental kit off. Didn't like it. Price dropped to $12,500. If I don't sell, putting 17" Torq Thrust and driving it like I stole it.

That is because we are at the end of the world up here.
I think everyone thinks something must be wrong at that price. I got a good deal on it when I bought it, just passing it on. I really need to start the body work on my 37, so need the money for that.

55 Olds

Can you send me some pics of the underside, inner rockers, floor braces, etc. I am in the market for a 88 2 door hardtop. Why the engine swap, is the original still available?
Thanks, Mike
