What kind of car is my step dad talking about ?
Hey guys, i just found out my step dad recently owned an Oldsmobile right before i met him. Aparantly it was a 1964 Super 88 with a 396 rocket, mated to a backwards trasmission, it went P D 2 1 N R. It was a 4 door. This is what he told me. is this true ? can i have some more details as to what he was talking about ? because it sounds cool, but i think he might have been mixing up numbers

A 1964 Super 88 would have had a 330 hp 394 cid engine and a Slim Jim HydraMatic transmission. The shift sequence was P NDSL R. S88 engines were 4-barrel 10.25 CR single exhaust.
All 1964 Super 88s were 4-door cars, either a Celebrity Sedan (with B pillar and window frames) or a Holiday Sedan (4-door hardtop).

Shift pattern would have looked something like this:

Takes less time than you would think to get used to

Thats really cool, thanks for the info. Your right about the shift pattern. And your probably right about the engine too. Its too bad its not around anymore, i would have loved to buy it from him. Apparently someone hot rodded it, and cracked the block though. No Joke : (
