New to the forum and a new owner of a 72 Oldsmobile 98. I'll post a pic soon. Just wanted to say hi.

 

Welcome aboard

 

Welcome to our site! Can't wait to see the pics!!

 

Welcome to the site! Would you tell us about your car, how long you've had it. Any history you know about it. John

 

That's the shortest intro yet. Whats the story behind finding your new toy and yes we are waiting for pictures............still waiting..........waiting..........

 

Oh ya, I'd like to see pics too,always had a soft spot for big Olds 98's. Oh and yes this is a great forum.

 

Welcome to this site from another PAC NWer! Show us your car and let us know how you came across it!

I'll admit that was a short intro. I don't have much history on the car. I got it off of Craigslist from someone that inherited it from a friend. Looks like it has 145k miles. Less than 10k in the past 11 years because the mileage is documented on a receipt for tires. I believe it is a reprint or at least a touch up and I will have to do the trunk this summer. Some bubbles from trunk moisture. Overall the car is in great shape. I paid $2200 for the car. Motor runs strong and everything but the rear defrost works. I was in the market for a 442 or a Toronado but came across this and couldn't pass it up. Enjoy the pics. If anyone in Oregon recognizes this car and knows anything about it please let me know.

I'll have to try the pics again.. apparently I can't attach them from my phone. I figured I would at least post this.

 

Looks like they worked this time.

 

Welcome and it looks nice. Smart Cars and Prius's will cower in your shadow!

 

Looks to be in great shape,bet it's like riding on a cloud.

 

Biddy- That's a great looking 98!

I'm in SW PDX near Multnomah, would love to see your car sometime. Welcome to the forum!

 

Great looking car! I'm from SE Portland and can't remember seeing it but I'll be on the lookout now!

 

Great looking car - welcome!

All the used parts you will ever need are just down highway 5 in Medford - member 2blu442!

 

Love the color. Hope you keep it original. Looks like it has dual exhaust too .I'm surprised how many of the Ninety-Eights had single exhaust originally.

Would love to see some interior shots, speshully of the dash. I like seeing how these cars were originally equipped.

 

Welcome. A very nice car, looking good. Looks like a little wow on the driver side bumper. Nothing a bumper shop can't overcome.
I bet it just cruzes down the road without a problem.

I'll post some interior shots. Previous owner added an aftermarket radio, put some switches in and added his touch in interior trim but it still looks great. I would like to bring down the ride height some once I figure out the best way to get it done but that's all I want to do to the car.

 

Hi Gene- yeah she cruises very nice and the rear bumper was the only concern when I got the car. I will be getting it fixed soon. I'm really enjoying her.

Yes, it would look good about an inch and half lower. One of the easyest way is cut half coil off the springs.Should give what you want and not hurt the ride. If you go more the ride will suffer and speed bumps will not do you any good.

welcome to the site.

 

Don't need a spare tire, just put the Smart Car in the trunk.

 

That's for dang sure. lol
