Seller's Description:

1959 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 Convertible

• Condition: Used - Good

Recently inherited a 1959 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 Convertible from my Father. I simply don't have the room to keep it anymore.

• I don't know a whole lot about the vehicle but I know there aren't a whole lot of them left. Runs and drives - Power windows and top function properly - Back window is out on the top. I believe it's still there just has to be sewn back in - Brand New tourney cover recently - Have the fender skirts for the rear - Car could use some body work but all in all is complete and would be an excellent candidate for restoration - Has some damage on the rear driver side area from being backed into In a parking lot. Won't let me post the video I have of the damaged area.

Any questions or if you would like to set up a time to see the vehicle message me and we can get it sorted out.

• $14,000 firm don't bother me unless you're coming with cash

I've had alot of interest and I'm honestly in no rush to sell. For the right price I have ALOT of extra trim/chrome, body panels, dash parts/Instrument clusters, and tons of other miscellaneous pieces and parts.

 

See very short video of one side of car.

It is the first "photo" in the Facebook ad.

Maybe you should let the seller know that.😁

He'd better make room, because at that price for that car he's going to have it a long time.

 

59 GM convertible or not, this car is a steaming pile.

For someone who doesn't seem to be sure about much on the car, he/she certainly is sure about the price.

The drivers side pic looks as though there is some color variation, not sure why. May be a good candidate for some one who owns a body shop. Interior sure does not match the exterior. I can envision a beautiful car, but not at this time. GLWTS

Why do the most interesting of cars have sellers that sound like quite unpleasant people to deal with?

[Charlie Petty]

 

I detect a bit of the "I know what I've got" mentality that comes from watching collector car auctions and looking at consignment dealer listings.  Don't like the attitude, but, if the car is not rusty, it's probably not a crazy-high price for what it is.  It is a '59 GM convertible after all.   

I should think the audience for it in this condition is just buyers who would do a cost-is-no-object restoration.  By the time a full restoration was done, the few thousand difference between the listing price and whatever the "true value" is will have been insignificant.
