Up for sell is my 1954 olds 99. Bought this car in New York. The gentleman that owned it was into these cars and they said he owned it for many years. After he passed his kids put this baby out in the yard. When I bought it it had a dent/ding free body but needed rocker repairs. I replaced both rockers, both front floor pans and did some repairs on skirts. I bought this car to install a Cummings Diesel engine in it and as always I get the factory motors running so I can move it around. Replaced gas tank(new) had fuel pump rebuilt. Rebuilt carb. Installed potronex ignition and had starter rebuilt. Motor ran smooth and strong so I kept at it and installed the spin on filter kit as well. Did the normal tuneu, plugs wires again all original NOS stuff. Put a carter clueless pump near tank. Car starts with just turning key. Motor runs like new. Engine must have been rebuilt.i rebuilt exhaust manifolds and changed one head pipe.i then went through brakes. I took out the weak factory booster And installed new duel master cylinder and power booster. Looks original now as it too was done right.Body has been stripped and epoxy painted . All wires look great and everything works except the factory tube radio (have a spare too) went through all brakes, changed all brake hoses. Car stops better then when it was new. Changed a few parts on front end and replaced bushings in rear shacklesI've got ever piece of trim/Crome all in great shape . Have all the interior pieces to and the factory seat springs. Put a pair of buckets up front and was going to use jag rear seats as it fits nicely.Car drives great strait and fast for as big as this ole boat it.Would make a good restore project as the heavy lifting is done .Oh and it's got a flame thrower system installed lolEverything has been coated with POR-15 also I removed front end,fenders forward and after sandblasting everything it was painted black. Point is only outside needs painting. Car stay in my shop or under carport.I've spent over 8k on it but need the space my loss your gain.Why be normal and drive what everyone else drives go large get an oldsyou can call me at 337-298-1061 with any questionsThanksJamesOn Jun-23-17 at 16:52:28 PDT, seller added the following information: as we all know this car is a olds 98 not a 99 as no 99's were built lol
