73 olds 98 70,000 all original excellent condition

Car is no longer for sale,thanks for your interest!





For Sale 1973 olds 98, this is a low mileage all original car that has had a very pampered life. I bought it from the last owner who had it 20 years and put on just over 400 miles. I bought the car and went through it put all new fluids in everything and new tires on it, i added factory cruise control and tilt wheel to it to make it a beautiful cruising machine and drives like a dream. It also has power steering and brakes, power 60/40 seats, power windows, AM FM radio, air conditioning recently serviced,power trunk. Paint is prob a 7 out of 10 but shows very nice. Interior is in beautiful condition and is the deluxe with the pillow top seats. $6,000 OBO. Car runs and drives beautiful any questions please pm me.

Greg

Not sure why the pictures came up upside down that's not how they were loaded, I can send more the right way if anyone is interested. Also if a moderator could fix these i would appreciate it.

Thanks Greg

It doesn't take a moderator. It just takes a little know-how.

A couple of suggestions. Your photos were WAY too large. At about 2.6 MB each, they're about 10 times the size they need to be for viewing on a web page. Use an image resizer to bring them down to the 300-500 kb range. The four photos below are all about 200 to 300 kb. You only need photos the size you uploaded if you're going to make poster-sized prints out of them.

Second, crop the image to show only the car. We don't really need to see the car from 20 or 30 feet away. We want to see the car, not the house or basketball pole or whatever behind it or next to it.

It's a gorgeous car. Good luck with the sale.

I am not in the market for this car, and I may be ignorant, but, is it a 455 engine and a TH-400 trans? Do you know the rear gear? And, just for my interest, is that console OEM equipment? Can we finally show that cupholders arrived in 73?

Yes it is a 455 with a turbo 400 tranny in it. I do not know what the rear end gear is off hand. I wish they had cupholders back then but no they didn't, this is a seperate set up sits on the seat and buckles around it.

It probably has the peg leg 2.76:1 rear gears. If it has a posi then that's a rare one.

Definitely a cool car. GLWS!

It’s such a heavy car not sure it could get both wheels to spin anyway!

Thanks Greg

Thanks for answering the questions. That's the kind of car I would drive around in with 5 naked babes. Alas, I do not have the 5 naked babes, so I don't need the car.
