All Original/ Unrestored 1963 Olds 98, Great Condition, Drives Well, Loaded on 2040-cars
Muskegon, Michigan, United States
|
I am selling this vehicle for a friend due to health reasons. All original 1963 Oldsmobile ninety eight. loaded with power steering, power brakes, am/fm radio, air conditioning, power seats and windows. leather inside. this is a seventh generation olds 98. 98 was the top of the line series for Olds. The car is in very good unrestored condition. drives well. powerful v8 engine. low miles. convertible soft top in good working condition. clear vinyl snap on rear window in great shape to. I believe that Olds only made 4,000 of these for that year and only 1,200 with air. 1963 Oldsmobile Series 98story of the 1961-1964 Oldsmobile 98Oldsmobile unveiled an all-new top-of-the-line 98 in 1961. The car was slightly smaller than the earlier generation of 98, and ushered in new styling for a new decade. The only fins were now downward-pointing at the rear, while the side panels were deeply scalloped. The grille was cut back sharply from the leading edge of the hood and the name Oldsmobile stretched between the headlights, above the bumper. Mechanically, the frame was redesigned, the Hydra-Matic transmission was improved, and both the rear seat and trunk were larger despite the car’s smaller proportions. For 1961 only, the car was officially known as the “Classic 98.” Olds 98 models included two- and four-door Holiday Hardtops, a four-door Town Sedan, a four-door Sport Sedan with a wraparound rear window, and a convertible. A single 325-hp, 394-cid V-8 engine was available, and it was mated to a four-speed Hydra-Matic transmission. Total sales for the 98 in 1961 were more than 40,000. The same five Oldsmobile 98 models were offered for 1962 and the body was even more conservative, with a looped grille in front, a curved side-scallop with a big trim patch at the front of the driver’s door and no fins at the rear. Sales jumped by 50% to nearly 65,000 Oldsmobile 98s. For 1963, a new Custom Custom Sport Coupe joined the lineup, and it used the Starfire’s 345-hp V-8. The rest of the 98 lineup enjoyed a power bump to 330 hp. Visually, Oldsmobile smoothed out the 98’s side panels and added a ridge along the top of the fender to form the shape of the taillights. A new slim-line transmission cut the front floor tunnel significantly, climate controls could now be operated by a single unit, and a tilt wheel option was offered. The 1964 Oldsmobile followed the very clean lines of the 1963 models with trim accents along the ridgelines and horizontal taillights. Corner lights were fitted and AM/FM radios offered, along with cruise control. Ten interior colors were available and 15 exterior paint tones. The 1965 model would see the start of “coke-bottle” side styling and the horsepower race would begin in earnest as the standard V-8 increased to 425 cid and 360 hp with the option for 370 hp. Oldsmobile 98s from this period are reliable workhorses, often kept by older owners for long periods of time, and consequently well-maintained. Apart from some issues with slim-line automatic transmissions, they are usually trouble free. As an added benefit, they are typically equipped with power brakes, steering, windows and seats, and often have air conditioning. As genuine six-passenger cars, they make excellent long-distance cruisers. Buyer will be responsible for transportation of vehicle. please email with any questions. thank you for looking and I have other vintage cars listed on ebay to. feel free to Check out my other items! |

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The folks behind Generation Gap have lost their minds with this latest video. The goal here is to determine the ultimate family cruiser, but the choices are what you would least expect, with a heavily modded 1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser going up against a 2012 Ferrari FF.
You might anticipate an over-40-year-old Oldsmobile to pale in comparison to any modern Ferrari, but this wagon has a ton of secrets under its skin thanks to Lingenfelter. First, it packs a supercharged LS3 V8 with a claimed 650 horsepower and a six-speed manual gearbox. That big upgrade in power is further helped with air suspension and massive Wilwood disc brakes. The result is nothing short of deafening, with blaring yelps whenever the driver even nudges the accelerator.
The alternative sounds just as good, albeit in very different way. The Ferrari's 6.3-liter V12 pumps out 651 hp and 504 pound-feet with a part-time all-wheel drive system. While the FF lacks a lot of the hauling ability of the Olds, it makes up for the deficit in handling, luxury, and in many eyes, simply by having the famous prancing horse on the grille.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
