Vehicle Description

1966 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday Coupe 2DR Hardtop – Rare Classic, Smooth Cruiser, Rebuilt Powerhouse

For sale: a rare 1966 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday Coupe, a true icon of ‘60s American luxury and muscle. It runs and drives flawlessly, and still turns heads with its long, low profile and unmistakable charm.

The original Super Rocket V8 425Ci engine has been fully rebuilt with a modern touch while staying true to its roots, paired with the original 3-speed automatic transmission. The body shines despite a 10-year-old paint job, with a visible crack on the hood and a minor dent on the front-right fender (no paint damage). Inside, the original upholstery is in good shape, with some wear on the rear seat, and a new headliner and carpet add fresh comfort.
