The Oldsmobile 88 was the division's most profitable model line for decades, essentially saving the company from ruin many times over, and today these cool vehicles make for rare yet incredibly handsome hotrods. This killer 1951 Oldsmobile 88 2-Door Sedan, for example, emphasizes all the clean lines that made the "shoebox" sedan from that era so famous, but it packs a thundering 350 LT1 V8 under the hood, a quick-shifting 6-speed manual gearbox, and a sporty air-bag assisted suspension that's transformed it into an incredibly exciting restomod. Impressive as all that upgraded hardware is, this classic's good looks take the cake, with a show-stopping custom paint job and bespoke leather interior combining to make this Oldsmobile a dynamic touring cruiser that's ready for the big time.
Burgundy Metallic-over-Champagne is a wonderful color combination, professionally applied to a high standard and cleverly separated by custom airbrush work at the profile and precisely-applied pinstripes. The custom two-tone paintwork is certainly attention-grabbing, but the good news is that it even with all of its glitz it still stands up to scrutiny rather well. The finish is very bright and shiny, and it's obvious that when the work was done there was no expense spared. Since the car was completed, it has been used and enjoyed as intended, so it's not a trailer queen and it's no longer perfect, but it's still incredibly nice and I'd bet you can't remember the last time you saw one of these 88's finished to this level. Custom touches range from the nosed and decked hood and decklid, shaved door trim and handles, the frenched-in license plate holder and flush fuel door out back, and the smooth one-piece bumpers fore and aft. It also has quite a bit of artistic pinstripe work too, from the aforementioned bright colors that separate the two-tone theme, to the airbrushed emblems on the hood, fenders, and below the decklid. It's a great mix of old-school and new-school, and really gives this low-slung hotrod a unique curb appeal that draws lots of stares. Chrome pieces like the front grille, headlight rings, and ornate taillight housings are in excellent condition and it appears that most of the glass and weather-stripping is newer, so it seals up well.
The custom Shawn Cook leather interior has been thoroughly updated, featuring light tan power bucket seats and a custom center console. The seats appear to be from a late-model but the vertical pleats are straight out of the 1950s, so they look right, and the rear bench, plush door panels, thick carpets, and taut headliner were all custom-stitched to match. A tilt column is fitted with a leather-rimmed, dual-ring steering wheel that anchors the cockpit, matching the high-end style of the custom center console that houses switches for the power windows/locks, controls for the upgraded Vintage Air A/C system, a digital gauge that monitors the air-bag settings, and an incredibly cool 6-speed manual shifter topped with an 8-ball knob. The entire dash was reworked and painted tan to match the soft stuff inside, and it offers bright billet switches, polished accents, and a digital gauge pod that monitors the engine's vitals. An auxiliary tachometer was mounted at the center of the dash, reminding everyone that this isn't just some pedestrian grocery getter (in case the 6-speed shifter wasn't sporty enough), and the headliner includes an incorporated Alpine AM/FM/CD player that powers the upgraded speakers stashed throughout the cabin. A full-sized back seat makes this a very practical hot rod and the massive trunk has been custom upholstered with hidden storage compartments, more reminders that nothing was overlooked in this build.
That powerful 350 LT1 V8 is a perfect fit in the Oldsmobile's engine bay, where the builder's finished it for show with custom fenders, a smoothed firewall, and a gorgeous engine cover that was painted to match the exterior. There's power at just about any speed thanks to modern fuel injection, a serpentine belt system, and long-tube headers, and the polished valve covers and bright details add to the custom feel. It's quite tidy and well-engineered, and much of the wiring and plumbing has been hidden out of sight to help with that show-worthy look. A big radiator helps keep the powerful small block from getting too warm, and power steering and power 4-wheel disc brakes allow for regular, easy-going driving at just about anyone's experience level. For a car full of incredibly cool upgrades, the 6-speed manual gearbox might just be the most exciting, turning this Oldsmobile into a Pro-Tour ready machine that's a blast to drive, and it and the heavy-duty 10-bolt rear end are capable dance partner for the feisty LT1. The suspension has been completely upgraded as well, featuring tubular A-Arms up front, a panhard bar with 4-link setup in the rear, and a full airbag suspension with actuators fore and aft that help set the stance and improve the car's ride quality. Twin pipes with throaty Flowmaster mufflers give it just the right hotrod soundtrack that doesn't get annoying on long hauls and the flashy 18-inch polished wheels are punctuated with custom '88' center caps that finish the killer look perfectly, all wrapped in 245/40/18 radials with plenty of grip.
A cool and unique hotrod that's packing big power, plenty of comfort and convenience features, and that icy cool '50s look. Call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
