1959 Oldsmobile 88 - Unchained Melody

1959 GM bodied cars are highly desirable, especially in the custom world! This Oldsmobile has been heavily modified with the styling of a traditional 60's custom. Door handles and side trim have been shaved, the rear bumper, taillights etc., have been molded and modified as well as the grill, headlights and front end. It has a candy paint job with scallops. The best part is, the car was built on a stretched 1996 Chevrolet Caprice chassis. While the car looks like a traditional custom, it performs like a new car with all updated suspension and drive-train. When the body was added to the new chassis they channeled it to give the car a nice lowered stance without detracting from the ride. It's powered by an Olds 455 with a TH400 automatic trans that always fires right up, runs smooth and has excellent performance. The interior has a full custom dash with circular gauges, custom upholstery with a traditional style stitch pattern, even the headliner was stitched to match. The Caprice split bench was used allowing for the passenger and driver to have separate adjustments. The trunk was upholstered to match, even the underside of the lid is upholstered! The engine bay is nicely detailed and painted body color. Cars like this typically sell in the $35k - $40k range. This one is an older build, it looks great, looks like a 100 point car going down the road but it does have various nicks and chips from being driven which is the reason for its reduced price. Its a great car if you like driving your car and participating in car events like Torque Fest or Symco.
