found this classic in an old mans barn at the top of napa valley here in California. when I was shuffling through his collection of beautiful cars, I saw her. a cherry 1964 oldsmobile 98 hard top. he explained" that the original owner(from Michigan) had special ordered a 1964 oldsmobile 98 metallic green on green. he got the call when his car arrived but when he showed up another salesman had sold it. the owner of the dealership apologized, reduced price, and had this particular car painted the exact green color he ordered" hence the white door jambs with green paint job, he purchased the vehicle in the mid 70's with 12,000 miles. he had come into a bit of money and his car collection began. this oldsmobile was pushed to the back of his barn and only brought out for "special' occasions. I purchased the car towed it to my shop and drained every bit of fluid, oil, and grease from her. filled everything up and fired her up. after a couple of coughs she purred like a kitten. I have put about 1000 miles on it and I only find a small bit of coolant leaking. this car is LOADED with factory options-
POWER STEERING
POWER WINDOWS
POWER BENCH SEAT
FACTORY AIR CONDITONING
I EVEN HAVE THE ORIGINAL GLASS ANTIFREEZE BOTTLE UNDER THE HOOD
IM OPEN TO OFFERS/TRADES

 

Looks good to me

 

thank you- I was amazed to find her in this condition. just took a little elbow grease and love!! im asking $12,995

 

How many miles are on it now?

 

exactly 19840 miles

 

Wow. Good luck on the sale.

 

I love big sedan's, especially when they are the 4 door hardtop variety.

In regards to your sale and if it helps, here is a link to the auction results for '64 98's. It's pretty broad but scrolling through the results shows really nice examples like your car, in the $6K range.

I'm finding this price tracker a more accurate and realistic guide to prices as compared to the Hagerty or Old Cars guides.

thanks chris, notice the closest car had TWICE as many miles. I have researched a lot of information on this car and believe the price im asking is more than fair. I appreciate the info though

 

That is a beautiful car. I had a 64 98 4 door hardtop years ago. Mine was a 6 window. That one is in better condition than mine ever was though. Definitely a cool car.

 

Saw this today on Hemmings.
