What’s special about this listing

1953 Olds 98, Holliday. Power brakes, power widows & power bench seat. Chrome & glass is in pretty good shape. 303ci engine, now is a stroker 376ci, with using original block, crankshaft & heads. Bore is 4.00in using Racetech custom pistons, H-Beam rods, Heads have chevy small block valves, new rocker arms & shafts, Smith Bros pushrods, Custom Hydraulic camshaft, new timing set, new vacuum fuel pump + new spare in box), original automatic overdrive transmission, with fresh rebuild. New custom Greg Holman stainless headers, full custom exhaust out to the rear bumper, New coil over rear shocks to level out ride height, completely gone through front suspension, with all new bushings, tie rods, etc. Allot of engine parts are powder coated including intake, pulleys, timing cover, etc. K&N air filter, Edelbrock AFB electric choke carb, electronic ignition.

I have almost all of the stock original engine components that go with the car if wanted, along with an extra set of the 1953 original 303 bare iron heads from this engine. They are magnafluxed, one good, one has small cracks between some valves, but engine lost no water with them. Turn signal indicator lever is not in car, but I have assembly and under horn parts. Car cover, and whatever else I can find is yours too!

Car runs really nice and total running gear has less than 1000 miles on it! Daily driver, original style battery with original powder coated hold down system. It has a really nice stereo system with amplifier, but I don't even know how to use it! Engine & transmission costs alone were way over $15,000 with all parts & machine work. I cannot go any lower than this! I will not pay shipping costs, if needed at this price, sorry. Most receipts available, but not all. Please don't be a fraud buyer. I have had enough of those! THX!
