Vehicle Description
This 1972 Oldsmobile 98 has to be one of the coolest and least
expensive ways to get attention at the survivor car shows. A bright
and factory-correct hardtop sedan with a big and original 455 V8
under the hood is defiantly an irresistible classic. But then you
see all the paperwork, and you realize just how great this deal
is.
These cars are iconic cars that defined the 1970s. Big four-door
sedans that still retained the pillarless hardtop style have their
own stratosphere of cool that's always expanding. And when it's
presented in what's believed to be the original factory-applied
Bamboo paint with tan vinyl top, then this is a great survivor (of
course, it also doesn't hurt that this car is a close ringer for
Evil Dead movie fans.) When you see the paint's shine and feel how
well all four doors shut with authority, you'll realize this is a
small miracle. After all, a car like this is becoming a rarity as
most were used up as family haulers and salesman callers. Instead,
here's one that's complete with all its trim, fender skirts,
factory hubcaps, and everything else that makes it a stunning
survivor.
The intricate button top and embossed beige vinyl greets you when
you open any door. It's the kind of pattern that you only get to
see once - when it's original. The 98 is the top end luxury machine
from Oldsmobile, so you get to choose to fill this sedan with up to
five family and friend passangers. Or fold down the armrests on
both rows and get a zip code worth of individual comfort. The wood
paneling, doors, carpets, and dash are a marvel at how well they
present today. You sit behind the factory steering wheel, and the
driver-focused instruments encapsulates with its luxury. You have
within an easy reach controls for the power seat, power locks, and
AM/FM/8-track stereo (don't worry if you don't have any 8 track
tapes, because this comes with a full case for your enjoyment.)
Best of all, this is a power windows car with air conditioning. So
with the touch of a few buttons, you can showcase the best feature
of this pillarless hardtop, and stay cool while you do it.
While this sedan has been impressive so far, the best treat is
under the hood. That's the numbers-matching 455 cubic-inch Rocket
V8 filling the engine bay. Yes, this is the same powerplant that
made the Olds 442 famous, and it even has a Rochester four-barrel
carburetor. With this kind of torque in hand, it makes moving this
large sedan an easy proposition. Add in power steering, front disc
brakes, and a three-speed automatic transmission, and we bet you're
already imagining all the places you will go in this luxurious and
powerful Olds.
As you look through the pictures, you'll see a ton of paperwork
that comes with this sale. It even includes proof that it was sold
new less than a couple of hours from our showroom. Now that's a
great survivor story, and on an Oldsmobile this cool, you know it
won't be hanging around our showroom for long. Call now!!
