1937 Oldsmobile project car. All welding and body work is completed. I removed the body from frame to clean and paint the underside and frame with Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator. Rust was cutout and patches welded in. A smooth painted firewall is bolted over the repaired firewall. Doors and trunk close nicely. The hard jobs are done.
· Missing: one headlight ring, battery cables, carpet, door panels, headliner, radio, gas filler tube rubber, heater and A/C.
· What is wrong: gas tank is rusty, one lug bolt broken, tires are rotten, paint is bad. At 10 feet the paint looks great, but at 5 feet, you can see tiny blisters. I think the Dupli Color lacquer paint reacted with the paint underneath. Old wipers need converting to electric. Included is an old battery for trade-in. There are some old, mismatched gauges. The paint is scratched all over and needs respraying. NO DENTS.
· New parts: wiring harness, chrome taillights, mufflers, window rubber, mirrors, window cranks, rear window glasses, front turn signal lights, chrome master cylinder and chrome power booster. A 3-inch lowering kit for the rear is included.
·
· All the exterior trim is in the car. All the window mechanisms are in the car. All old glass is included. Windshield and door windows are not installed. Leather electric seats from a 2004 Tahoe are not bolted down. All the bumpers, brackets, and bolts for front and rear bumpers are in the trunk. The window trim inside the car was chromed a long time ago. The wing vents are complete, but rusty. Hood trim is in the trunk. The running boards are in the trunk. The car is stuffed full of parts. It has running boards
· I don’t know much about the motor and trans. The motor has a tag that says it is an 80-44 305 GM 5.0L NAPA crate motor, with 0.003 bore and 11:1 piston. It has roller rocker arms, aluminum intake, 650 Edelbrock carburetor. The automatic transmission (I think) is a TH400. I think the diff ratio is 2.73:1. It was running when I parked it. I don’t know the miles on either. I drove it the 100 yards from the delivery truck to the garage and then disassembled it.
·
· I rebuilt the front end with disk brakes. All bushings have been replaced. The front clip is from a ‘74 Nova and the rear end is (I think) from a ‘69 Camero. The rear brakes need replacing. The front needs alignment.
·
· It is a "roller". The steering is connected, but the brakes are not. Parking brake is not installed. Shifter is not connected. There are a column shift and a floor shifter included, you decide. Because the windshield and door glasses are not installed, I recommend a covered trailer. Rear and side windows are in with new rubber. I will help load the car. I can wench it onto a trailer.
·
· Why I am selling it: I bought this car to build for my wife. About a year after I started on this project, she was killed by a drunk driver. I can’t finish it. I have the previous Bill of Sale and I will give you a new Bill of Sale. There is no title required in Georgia. The price is way below what I've spent on it. Included is a box of receipts.
