- Hey everyone and welcome back to Iowa Classic Cars! We have a 1960 oldsmobile dynamic 88 two door hardtop today that we are going to work on. This car came from inner-city chicago and was free, but has some engine issues that we will address. Its sad that the car is so rusty and neglected, but it makes it even more worth it to rescue a car in this kind of shape that was destined for the junkyard! Make sure to stick around for future videos on this 60 olds, and if you enjoy old car videos make sure to subscribe for more!

Dude, are you kidding? She runs, drives, stops, actually has working brake lights, she’s not that rough my man. Right was that 59 that folded in half when you pulled it out of the Tara one and tried to trailer it. That’s rough. This baby is a jewel!! If the frame isn’t junk, that’s a fixer upper for sure. Excellent video Ryan. Big Al.
lol yeah that 59 was rough! :D I am hoping someone wants it to fix
Sorry to offend you . Just my opinion .
The cool factor is off the charts with that Olds thing.
Love seeing a good old Oldsmobile brought back to life. I still cant believe that quit making Oldsmobile
GM would rather make plastic cars that don't stand the test of time !🇺🇸
@@vet-7174 cheap throwaway cars
Like the bubble top of the oldsmobile, same as the 59 impala. And the engine running so nice. She is worth saving.
I would clean that one up make it safe and drive it around. The shock value would be worth it. The design of that car is something everybody should see. Also put a couple of headlights in it.
I love Oldsmobile's. We never knew what we had back then. This one is worth restoring.
Thanks for watching
Someone just needs to patch it up and give it some love.
lol bondo and paint make it what it aint
From how it started almost immediately, this jewel "wants" to be restored!🍻❤
I've seen you dig up some cars that were worse than this. This should be restored. Thank you for saving it.
thanks for watching
Your luck with finding and acquiring these classics is enviable. You, my friend, must have a lucky horseshoe somewhere. 👍
Lol thanks man
A friend of mine had one of these when I was a kid back in the 70's - we called it the Tuna Boat.
now THATS a name!
I'm with Allen. This is a keeper. Anything Oldsmobile 1959 is rare. She's a fixer upper for sure.
I would daily it in a heartbeat! I was made the same year as that car.
if it was more solid id drive it every day too lol
I'm a 60 too
@@tdiscbetween Ditto ❗️🇺🇸👍
@@IowaClassicCars make it better !!!!!!!!
@@tdiscbetween Im 59 !!!!!!!
I hope someone will make it right. They are so much fun to see them running again. It still looks not that bad.
Amazing! Beautiful old car regardless of the current way it looks !👍🏻
Thanks Eric!
Drive it, then drive it some more....looks cool going down the road !!
Really nice car, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Its for sale
Engine sounds good for it age. Unique styling.
very unique :D
Base engine is a rocket 371 and had gold valvecovers.Speedometer is the coolest of the 1960 gm cars as it changed colors with speed.
I had a 56 Buick with the “Blood” speedometer. Very cool.
Love it
I kind of like the Buick speedo where you have to look in a mirror to see it because the made it backwards.
Dad's '61 Dynamic 88 had a 394 and the same type of slide-rule speedometer that changed colors w/ safety sentinel, but I don't think it had the "autotronic eye" (automatic headlight dimmer) like his '53 Super 88 had.
@@mexicanspec I forgot to mention Buicks "Mirror Magic " speedometer I'd have to say it's a toss up they are both beautifully bizarre.
For a free car I would sell it complete. I could see the potential of giving this old girl a facelift. It would be a project, but for something that runs and drives down the road well worth it!!!
it is a project but someone will do it!
I wished I could have gotten for free.The '60 was one of my favourite Oldsmobiles next to the '65-'68 full size hardtop coupes.
Don't know the condition of the floors and frame but it's really tidy under the hood and seems to run and drive pretty well. Someone could possibly save it. Which is what it deserves. Good score Ryan
thanks Paul
But...it was pretty smooth at 70+ mph! Good old Olds, runs, stops, drives! It's the same age as me! 😀
Man homeboy you rightous for this man keep doin wat you doin an bring the old cars back to life
appreciate it man
I would love to have that! I think its worth saving you just don't see them anymore
no you dont thats for sure!
Looks like a lot of welding for someone. Possibly restorable though. And let's face it, that's a rare car.
Drop it off at Old Car Alley. Howard will make it shine!
Agreed!
I’m not sure even Howard could get that poor old rust bucket to shine again.
She needs a restoration. She's a classic!
Man, it might be rough but I think you should fix it the way vice grip garage would
if i had the funds i would! lol
Unique vehicle. it needs to be in the hands of a body guy.
yes very unique for sure
Thanks for saving another gem. I think someone will purchase this Ols. As a project car.
Hope so!
There are guys out there who can do miracles with sheet metal, I hope that old beast gets properly restored. NO RAT RODDING!
SAY HALLELYA !!!! i vote for no more stupid junk /rat RODS I get sick of even hearing the PHRASE!!! Fix it right!!!!
She deserves to be sold to someone who will either use the parts to fix another or to someone who may just have one that has parts to fix her up. She deserves another chance is what I’m trying to say
It's a parts car, but I'm glad you saved it. Amazingly, it does seem to run pretty well. In 1958 I had a 60 Olds. Dynamic 88 convertible for $50. Like a fool I sold it back to the guy I bought it from because he needed a car. I don't know what happened to it after that.
awesome find !
with all the rust and rot. she still got more class then todays crap. i love her,,
thats no lie!
My first car was a 76 Olds Delta 88! I wish I still had that car! Very cool old girl!
We had a 60 olds super 88 4 dr sedan growing up. Got it from my grandfather, original owner, around 1965 and had it until around 1974. In Massachusetts and it rusted out just as bad or worse than what you got. The rust got so severe that we junked it. Drive train was awesome, always fired up These are such great cars. If the frame is good maybe it can go to someone that can fix the rust on their own. If too expensive or too far gone to fix rust probably part it out or sell to someone with a good body that can use the parts. Love that fluid speedometer. Ours had that speed warning also. Once my Dad drove it at 120 mph with my brother and I sticking our heads out the window saying go faster Daddy, go faster. Well he did and busted the speedo and it never worked again.
haha cool story
It is a cool car Ryan 👍 man if that frame is solid I would keep it whole, but it's yours obviously to do as you please. The GM styling from 59 to 60 is just outstanding. Best to you Ryan, always happy to see a new video from you
thanks Jazz always appreciate seeing your comment!
Great to see these iconic cars coming back to life, thanks Ryan.
I like it! Right up my alley! Too
bad we're not moved yet. Almost bought a 4-door flat top
for $2,500 in 1990. If you still have it when we get things
squared away, let's talk it over
and see what we can do.
You won’t regret going the extra mile to restore it! Weld the sills and panels. It’s worth it
Warms my heart to see that old girl going down the road.
glad you enjoyed!
I owned a red one like that back in the '60's. The engine is a 371. The 394 was in the Super 88 and 98. Great car with the Jetaway tranny being the weak point.
No jetaway in that year / model
I think I have seen way way worse. These cars are getting very rare now. Definitely worth saving. I would snap it up and import it into the UK . I saved a sweet 68 Dodge Charger R/T and that was just as Rough . The mean look on the front does it for me.
i love the front ends too!
That "59 Chevy you have in your garage is a dream car of mine. My father had on when I was a kid. I'm 65 now.
thanks Scott
It’s very graceful looking when you see it in motion
Agreed!
I.C.C.--- THANKS FOR RESPONDING BACK,, I HOPE SOMEONE WILL TAKE CARE OF IT>> PEACE...
Thanks Ron
That car is too cool. I think it runs as good as anything.
I had two of these cars bought a 60 Olds super 88 2 Dr hardtop in 1975 For $10.00 of street in Chicago drive it for 10 years until it got hit by drunk driver great car by the way the dynamic was a 371 ,cubic inch and Super was a 394 cubic inch keep it alive
Super Kool Rare Olds H/t find, do some metal fabrication on it, tune up, seat covers maybe, basic clean, polish what you can of the chrome, Love & Enjoy it... Who knows, you might just want to keep it??? Don't scrap or part it Ya gotta save it man!!!
oh no, i wont scrap it
I'd sell it whole. There's a fabricator out there who would take this on to fix/repair/replace the missing body panels n probably rat rod it.
Im hoping someone takes it to fix!
Definitely not that bad. Chevy rocker panel should fit
Put some rockers on it, then take it to a car show like you said!!
Keep 'er going! 😁😀
Sell her to a good metal man, she runs and stops good and is definitely rare enough to save and enjoy!!!
Hopefully i can find said good metal man lol
Thanks, Ryan! So great as always! Love those GM early 60s. That steering wheel is so much my dad's 62 Olds.
thanks for watching
Another beautiful car
Love this one, you always have great finds. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Ryan, Please find a home for this beauty! I think your idea of taking it to a car show (or a swap meet as you may be able to trade for some 59 Impala parts) would be a great way to get it into the hands of someone who wants to give her a second chance at glory.
im going to try!
I had a 1961 dynamic 88 two door hardtop. I sold it to my buddy in Wisconsin. I wish I had it back.
Some one will want it for parts to fix one that they have. Or possibly repair it for themselves. Neat old car . I once had a 59 Olds 98 .loved that car.
Sweet looking automobile they don't make them now like they use to back in the day they was the real cars they make these today out of cheap material love old cars and trucks I bet less people got killed in these old cars than what they do in this day and time I believe more lives was saved in them old cars awhole lot more than these autos of this day and age but still love them old cars and trucks
Sounds good!!!
Runs & drives too!!!
Love the Skegs on the rear bumper!!!
thanks for watching!
Sale whole Ryan, that's a great project for the right person.
im trying man :D
I really like the 1960 Oldsmobile dynamic 88 because I had a family member that had one just like that one.... I just wish I could afford to buy it from you and work on it and put it in car shows
Cool car, my grandma's sister had the same one but all white with blue interior 💙was a awesome car, thanks for sharing and as always "Howdy from Texas "!!
I had a hard time finding any 1960 Oldsmobiles on the internet. You should sell it to someone who will restore it to its former glory!
Coolest steering wheel ever! Used in a lot of street rods & custom cars. Nice find👍! Restore it.
Cool. These are really nice cars...deserves to be saved.
Memories, my grandfather used to take me to AW root beer burger stand and eat a cheese burger and a float 😋 in his 1959 olds please keep her man, your a hero you saved her life and all she's been through, it was meant to be, you were right there wen she needed you the most, that's what love will do, you got her for free, just use her for your Sunday drives around town, you'll be glad you did, and not miss her when she's gone and in the bone yard slowly dieing, she's your antique now, give it a chance, you can't lose. 🥺
Thanks awesome! Thanks for watching
I luv it. My parents had the four door model and let my oldest brother drive it until he went in service in 1972. Then my sister totaled it. Plenty of stories in ours when I was young. I'll give you $600 if you deliver it.
It is a nice car for sure!
I like that car!
She sounds great.
I love the car. My grandfather used to import American cars into England for his own use in the 1960s. Please restore it to factory
Man I hope you play the lotto every day you are lucky I see videos of old cars that are wasted makes me sic. but for free that’s crazy. If you want to pay it forward get in touch with me.
IT WAS GREAT TO HEAR THE 394 V8 ENGINE.THAT IS A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH.PLEASE DON'T PART IT OUT.
What a gem my Uncle Henry had one just like it in San Diego white with blue interior
Man that’s just an Oldsmobile . . . .Companies gone now : THAT’S JUST A CLASSIC KEEPER !
Outstanding enjoy the ole gal Ryan it’s too cool and it runs and stops can’t beat that. Terry Dallas Ga.
thanks Terry
Awesome old Olds, be nice to see somebody get it and fix her all back up, know what I mean?! They sure don’t make cars like that anymore! Absolutely awesome buddy! Me and that car are the same age.
I love it.The fact that it runs as well asit does and stops makes it worth saving as long as theframe is good under it.Sell it to someone who wants to put it back the way itshould be
going to try my best to!
Yeah you can’t beat that GM Bubble Top look. Great story about Jack Ruby.
That motor sounds strong. Speed warning option, too cool. 😎👍🇨🇦
thanks for watching!
Awesome car....at least what's left of it!!!! Drive the wheels off!!!!!
thanks for watching guys!
Very nice looking car. I like the design.
I am a Elderly Disable. Seen many Vehicles in my days. Depending on where you advertise the vehicle, There are a lot of LOW RIDERS CLUBS, THAT WOULD LOVE/LIKE TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE IN ITS CLUB. BTW, These clubs are excellent at restoring Vehicles like the one you have.
Nice one Ryan! Runs like a top!
thanks man
Great car! I agree, take her to some cars and coffee or local car shows. It will get more attention than the restored classic you park next to.
Good idea!
Nice save! Needs to get going again in any form that can be done by who ever gets it, worth it for sure! You know, it’s perfect car for the guy with time and skill, but low on cash.
exactly
Sell it complete. It moves down the road really nicely, like it glides with the long bonnet and trunk! Great glass too! Worth saving
absolutely
@@IowaClassicCars how much to buy it? Let me know. Thanks.
@@autoauctionrebilds3795 2500
Are right about 394 they also made a 271 or something close to that I seen so many of those back in the day they do look really nice just like any car in good shape someone out there would want that to play with that engine sounds really good sure do love those jetaway 4 speed automatic transmission good drivetrain
power brakes = NICE !
And its repairable to the right person all that metal is available now.
G'day mate. Wow how cool is the back end on that car amazing fell in love with that car never seen one before awesome car hope it survives .it deserves to as it has found you ....your its judge and jury now hope you find it a home best wishes mate 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Very cool man 👍👍👍👍👍
I would love to have that car! It's not a black convertible with fender skirts and 1957 Spinners like my first one was but it's still cool!
Looks like it’s drive ok.
Steering wheel is really cool!
What an interesting, entertaining presentation;
thanks Buddy...
thanks for watching
She’s really cool! Correct me if I’m wrong - Oldsmobile did *not* use the cheesy X-frame? What kind of shape are the frame and floor/trunk pans in? Someone with good DIY bodywork and metal fabrication skills could make a great car out of it. Lots of potential! But if you had to pay to have it restored, it’s probably not worth it. I’d love to see someone fix it up.
its a modified X frame, but they also use a ladder style frame with an X
I remember as a kid riding in a car of one my dads friend. He had a late fifty, early sixty Caddy that had that speed option. Tbh, I recall it made a lot more noise that that car you just picked up.
