1968 Oldsmobile 88 for $2200
I was recently looking a 1968 oldsmobile 88 with the 455 rocket newer leather interior and 148000 miles is this a good deal?
Im not familiar with these cars and it seems the nicer ones are very expensive

It costs a lot of money to appraise a car, and I nor anyone else could tell ya how much it is without at least posting pics... I wish I had some kind of KBB for you to go to, but I don't. Maybe some of the guys with classics can butt in...

IMO any car with a big block for $2200 is a steal as long as it runs and isn't a rust bucket. Even then, rust can be fixed if it'* what you want to do.

I agree. '60'* 88'* are very uncommon to see on the road. If it'* in at least decent shape and running it'* worth it. If it'* rust free, it'* a steal.

If the motor runs, body is sound, and you have the time, then go for it.

Do you know what a good rebuilt 68 455 rocket fetches?
