Description
Lot #1473 - This highly desirable Woody is one-of-a-kind, sporting classic looks and tons of power. The car was bought at auction in 2002 and built into a running chassis. In May 2012 the Oldsmobile switched owners and received a full restoration that was completed in 2013. It was sold after its restoration and it has been extremely well-maintained and garage-kept since. Driven less than 150 miles. All doors and windows function properly. All the wood is in great condition for its age, and the body and paint look new. The engine is a 371ci Oldsmobile Rocket V8 engine with forged pistons, strapped mains, stainless valves, titanium retainers, hardened valve seats, roller rockers, double roller timing chain, two Edelbrock 4-barrels on a Hampton blower running at 5 pounds of boost, MSD Ignition, 8:25:1 static compression. It has a dyno-proven 500hp. The engine was manufactured by Tony Lombardi of Ross' Racing Engines in Niles, OH, in 2004. The engine is paired to a 3-speed Hydromatic automatic transmission. The front brakes have been upgraded to 1949 Oldsmobile brakes. Electrical has been reworked for 12V. The driving lights and dome light inside the car are wired up and working. The spotlight is just a dummy spotlight and is not hooked up. All gauges (minus the original temperature gauge - just needs to be switched from 6V to 12V) are functional. An aftermarket temperature gauge has been installed under the dash temporarily but can be removed. This actual car has been professionally photographed and featured in a calendar that is included with the car. It has also been featured in a song/CD that is also included with the car.
