1968 Olds 98 Convertible - Parting Out

Had no takers on the complete car, so I'm parting it out. It appears to be complete with the exception of the wheel covers and fender skirts best I can tell. It sat outside unprotected for a number of years, so the seats and dash pad are gone. Might have some other interior parts that would work. Good body panels,also good windshield and frame. Let me know what your need.


Thanks, Gary

Rear Brake Drums

Looking for a rear brake drum that your car might have, it is bell shaped and is as olds option for cars that were sold in snow country. Please advise if you have that style on the car your parting out,


Thanks,
Bob

1968 Olds 98 Convertible - Parting Out

Bob5973- Let me check tomorrow when I'm back out at my truck yard where the Olds is & I'll see if it can supply what you need.

Oldsmobilty- I think the bumper is in good shape. If you send me your email address, I can take a couple of pics and send them to you.


Thanks, Gary

Nader Nail

I'm glad someone asked that before I had to. Waldo, I can probably help you if I can check out the car & try to narrow down by the location you described to see if I can educate myself a little.

Thanks, Gary

Nader Nail?
Perhaps a bolt that appears to have not much function but with the hood closed, prevents the hood from being forced back past the cowl in the event of a crash?

Waldo- Thanks for the information and education. I'll check to see if the car can supply what you need.
Regarding the rear bumper, they are different between the '68s & '69s. The '68 had the license plate at the top where there was a cutout there and a corresponding cutout at the base of the deck lid for the plate to sorta split the difference between the two. The reverse lights were mounted at the bottom center of the bumper. The '69 had the license plate mounted toward the bottom of the bumper and the reverse lights were on either side of it.
