Erndog Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) 1940 Oldsmobile G70 Four Door Sedan This was my son’s restoration project, but he went off to college, moved, etc., and the rest is history. Engine is a 230 Cu in in-line 6 cylinder. Totally rebuilt top to bottom. Journal measurements within .0001 in of factory original specs. Last run was about five years ago. Purred like a kitten...seriously. Engine has about two miles on it since the rebuild. Tires also only have about two miles on them. 3 speed transmission. Rebuilt carburetor. We added an electric fuel pump in parallel to the original (rebuilt) fuel pump for easier starts. New water pump. New motor mounts. Radiator rodded out. New front end wiring harness (engine compartment and dash). New headlight wiring. New weatherstripping on all four doors. New Windshield rubber. New fuel line from tank. New clutch lining. New Exhaust system. New brake shoes. Four new tires. Door panels have been recovered. Car is complete. Includes: Radio, which it did not have originally. Also, have the original blank dash panel. Many, many extra parts. Old motor mounts. Original shop manuals, large and small versions. Owners manual. Etc. $5,000 Edited September 18, 2022 by Erndog (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHGrace Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Ernie, I just went through your building thread again and watched the video of the engine running. Good motivation! Sorry you are selling after all your work but I see you have others to keep you busy. I have a '40 Olds 70 series 2 door. It has been in the family since 1957. I acquired it in 1994, went through all the same stuff you did on engine rebuild in '95. I feel like we had some similar challenges getting it to run right. We drove it for a while then around 2008 put it in storage for about 12 years. Retired now and ready to get it running again, now I feel like I'm starting all over again. I'd like to compare notes and get your thoughts on some things. My membership is new so I can't private message you. If you will, please reach out to me. Thanks, Seth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
