Quick Introduction

Hello everyone, just dropping a quick note as a new user. I am actually new to the Oldsmobile world. I have always built Chevys, but I stumbled across a really cool 1964 Ninety-Eight 2 door Holiday Coupe and couldn't resist. I am going to be trying to do a few things to it and will need some expertise on how to accomplish things and where to get parts.

Thanks. Yes, it is pretty nice. Believe it to have only 80k miles on it. Everything appears to work.

Rustfree area of the country eh?
So, what does it need?
As usual, try RockAuto.com first for common parts like brakes.

It is pretty nice inside. I will try to post more pictures soon. I just grabbed it a few days ago. The seats have been recovered, but very well done. It has been converted to starfire or custom coupe buckets and console with the tach.

Hello Octania. It doesn't need much. Some minor paint issues that I will work on and a few things in the interior. I am really trying to find the right way to lower it with the springs some. I have wheels for it and want to give it a nice stance. I am also planning on converting it over to true dual exhaust.

Welcome. It looks nice.
Looking forward to the interior pics.
A 64 98 with buckets and a console?
Pretty cool if you ask me.
