Gateway Classic Cars of Las Vegas would like to present this 1969
Oldsmobile 98. The 1969 Ninety-Eight (eight generation) remained
the top-of-the-line Oldsmobile. It was the largest Oldsmobile
product offered with a wheelbase of 127.0 inches. The owner states

a restoration and paint approximately 5 years ago. Powered by a
455ci Rocket V8 with a new carb and manual and electric fuel pump
and cooled by a Hayden 4 row radiator, this engine is mated to a
3-speed turbo 400 automatic transmission that owner states has 200
miles. Painted Trophy Blue and complimented with a light blue cloth

98), AM/FM 8-track stereo and power 6-way front bench seat.

out where possible) and HEI distributor. Owner states the front end
was also rebuilt, replacing wheel bearings, tie rod ends, ball
joints, etc. it required three different parts cars in order to
restore this vehicle to the beauty it is today.
