For Sale: 1949 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 in Emory, Texas

Vehicle Description

Enjoy riding in this car from Day 1. Strong running 1949 Olds Rocket 88, 4 door, split front windshield, metal sun visor. Engine is 303 C.1 V8  Hydramatic, all original motor fully refurbished in 2013 with new pistons, new gaskets, manifold inspected and cleaned, exhaust system. Upgraded to 12 volt wiring in 2014 with air conditioning and electric fuel pump added as well as new tires. Radiator flushed and recovery tank added in 2018. Front seats were converted to Sierra truck seats for more comfort and better belting, however original bench seat is still available and included. Original manufacturer shop manual and lots of additional parts included. Clean title for Texas.  Black exterior, grey interior. New carpeting with new stereo system while the original radio is still in dash along with dash clock that functions.  The odometer reading is what shows, not sure if rolled over as we have not put the nine thousand miles on it. Owned this car since 2013 (owner Master Mechanic)  and have enjoyed numerous car shows with it.

Had this car out this past weekend to start 2019 driving around town. I can tell you  she sure starts strong. No problem doing all speed limits (50 -70 mph).
