Youandrsquo;re looking at a strikingly crisp example of a 1957 Oldsmobile 98 J2 Convertible. This car has been collector owned and properly maintained (more below) since January of 2011 in a climate controlled facility. It is a very, very nice example of a now rare car. It starts and runs like a top (weandrsquo;ve driven it semi-regularly) and will fit right in cruising at freeway speeds (but will gain far more looks than almost anything else on the road). Paint isnandrsquo;t perfect, but itandrsquo;s close. Overall, looking at a 2-2.5 ratings on the car. We welcome reasonable requests for additional detail photos and video. And, of course, we also encourage and welcome third-party inspections. Especially for out-of-area buyers. Equipped with the expected goodies of a top-tier luxury automobile of the era, the Olds includes: The J-2 TriPower package, with the 371 CI, 300hp engine with 415 ft/lbs of torque. It moves the car more quickly than youandrsquo;d expect for itandrsquo;s size. The intake manifold gaskets were Randamp;Randrsquo;d, and carbuerators fully rebuilt (including new linkage) in 2013. A few more tidbits of information on the 98s can be found below.
