1960 Oldsmobile Fiesta Super 88 Surf Wagon Rat Rod Original Paint With Patina 60 on 2040-cars

 Up for auction is my extremely rare and well preserved 1960 Oldsmobile Super 88 Fiesta wagon.  Oldsmobile in the late 50's and early 60's was trying to get into the wagon market and developed some crazy looking wagons that are Bitchin to todays standards. If you purchased a Olds wagon new in 60, you were driving one of the most expensive station wagons available at the time!  They were typically low option cars (for a olds) because the base price was so much more than a Ford or Chevrolet wagon.  Most of the Olds wagons were Dynamic 88's sporting the smaller 371 motor and the lower trim packages.  This car is a SUPER, meaning higher trim level and the 315hp, 9.75:1 compression ratio, 4bbl, 394 Big Block Rocket.  This car was sold new in Wyoming and by 67' it had moved to northern Colorado thus, its relatively rust free nature these are both very dry climates.  It has been in Colorado since. The "Golden Mist Poly"  paint on this car is all original and has great patina.  With it all original, there are absolutely no surprises with what is lurking underneath the paint, no bondo, no hidden rust on this car.....what you are seeing is what your getting.  The front fenders have some rust (very common on 60 olds), and the left rear quarter is a little rusty down low, the right side is solid.  Rockers seem solid as well with the spare tire well.  The passenger front floor has a rust hole that is easily fixable.  The rest of the floors are solid and very nice.  I removed the carpet so I could accurately describe the floors with no surprises.  The rear bumper chrome plating is flaking off and looks bad, but its all surface rust.  The difficult spot on a 60 Olds bumper is the lower rear section that is always rusty by the bumper mounts where it holds dirt.  This one is straight and solid!! The glass is all very nice and useable with the exception of the windshield.  Its cracked and needs replacing.  60 Olds windshields are easy to get and are not expensive.   All of the stainless, potmetal, and other trim is all nice, straight and in place.  The interior is also all in place and very complete.  The seat covers, door panels, headliner and carpet needs replacing.  Time and age has taken its toll on those materials.  The Dash trim and chrome are all very nice and look great.  No pitting and useable for a restoration.  This car has been sitting since the 1970's until this last summer when I got it running.  The engine runs great, it starts right up every time and sounds good.  Its been tuned up and serviced. The water pump leaks coolant and needs a rebuild.  The radiator is boiled out and is good to go.  All new hoses, cables, plugs, points, battery, oil filter etc........... It needs an exhaust system, as the original system was full of holes.  The transmission is weak.  It goes into gear but slipps.  My guess is this is what parked the car in the first place, forty sum years ago.  Luckly it was not scrapped or parted out like most!  I am a honest seller and want the future owner to be happy with this rare and unique Olds wagon.  So, please ask questions.   I have described this car to my best ability. The odometer reads 93,000 miles.  I believe these are actual miles but cannot guarantee.  Clear and clean title on hand.   This car will make a cool patina rod or even better, its a great candidate for a restoration................she deserves it  :)!
