1948 Olds Rocket
For sale is my 1949 Olds 88. Her name is "Ghost Story". She is a
black four door that has had the rear doors shaved of the handles. The
rear doors are still fully functional, just no external handles. The
interior isgood for a car her age with the headliner needing the
most attention. The passenger window has some cracks.She is relatively rust free for a car this age, with
only minor bubbling on one rear fender lip. All lights and turn
signals work. The brakes and steering are manual and work well.

is a Buick 455. It is a 10.5 to 1 compression with flat top pistons
with valve reliefs. It has a TA performance 312 cam. This is topped
