Vehicle Description
You know to be impressed when a full-size classic convertible has
been this well preserved/maintained, comes loaded with features
(including A/C), and has a big 455 Rocket V8 under the hood. So
don't take too long looking at all the details of this 1969
Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight, because you're not the only one who will
recognize that this droptop classic is one heck of an all-around
value.
The Ninety-Eight's original mission was to be Oldsmobile's large
luxury machine, but with more cubic inches under the hood than even
a 442 of that year, it cannot help but be a little boastful. The
red is a terrific modern application with plenty of clearcoat shine
every time the sunlight hits the sheetmetal. And this is a sharp
design with the extra-long hood that has a bold point out front
leading the way. Plus, we love the brightwork where the front
bumper hugs the form as it curves down to meet the full length
rocker trim. And the rear bumper connects with the trim, too, as it
curves up and integrates into the shapely rear end. And you've got
all the right details, like the factory hubcaps, correct badging,
and rear fender skirts. It's truly a classic American boulevard
cruiser
Beneath the black folding roof is an equally nice black interior.
The intricate button top seats greet you when you open any door.
This has the right vintage look, but everything is a near-pristine
presentation - so you understand why this is an ideal mix of
preservation and care. The Ninety-Eight is a true luxury machine
from Oldsmobile, so you get to choose to fill this droptop with up
to five family and friends. Or fold down the front armrest and the
driver gets a zip code worth of individual comfort. The seat even
power adjusts. You sit behind the factory steering wheel, and the
driver-focused instruments encapsulates with its luxury. You have
features within an easy reach like the power locks and the factory
AM/FM radio with working 8-track player. But what really makes this
one special is the power windows and power top. That means you can
go from completely enclosed to fully open with just a few buttons
and never leaving the driver's seat. And because the factory air
conditioning is blowing cold, you can keep the top off through the
summer and never break a sweat.
Under the hood is Oldsmobile's biggest engine, the Rocket 455 cubic
inch V8. Topped with a four-barrel carburetor, it provides the kind
of low-RPM power that moves this big car without seeming to work
hard. The engine bay is exceptionally clean, more evidence that
this has been under the right care. And it has such a stock look
that the motor is believed to be original to the car. But what you
really want to know is how this one glides down the road like a
true big block luxury car should. Features like the three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes w/discs up
front give this a true effortless '60s cruiser feeling.
This is the cool classic Olds with a great classic look and all the
features you want. So at a price like this, you need to hurry and
call today!
