1966 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Coupe Black holiday
Vehicle Description
A true slice of American muscle and mid-century swagger — This rare classic doesn’t just roll; it glides with the grace and grunt of the golden era. It runs perfectly, carries the spirit of the '60s under the hood, and turns heads everywhere it goes. Whether you're cruising the boulevard or parking at a car meet, this beauty makes an entrance.
Vehicle Details
Underneath the vintage curves is a recently rebuilt Super Rocket V8 405Ci engine, reimagined with a modern touch while keeping the heart and soul of the original beast. It’s paired with the original automatic transmission — The black Obsidian paint shines with charm. Inside, you’ve got the original upholstery (with some age-earned cracks on the rear seat), and a fresh headliner and carpet for comfort. She’s not just a car — she’s a conversation starter.
