This one-owner 1968 Oldsmobile 98 convertible came from the factory equipped with the 455CI “Rocket V8” engine producing 365 HP, dual exhaust, and the “anti-spin” rear axle option (Posi Traction). The exterior is finished in Saffron, while the interior wears black vinyl. The car has a clean, North Carolina title. The car was recently refreshed from a twelve-year storage. Repairs to make it road-worthy include; new starter, alternator, front brake calipers, and pads, belts, fuel, and air filters, fuel lines, fuel pump, vacuum lines, and ignition switch. The fuel tank was removed, cleaned, and sealed. An oil change was also performed including a new filter.

The interior is upholstered in black vinyl. Optional equipment includes tilt and telescoping steering wheel, power trunk latch, visor vanity mirror, AM/FM stereophonic radio, tape player, power antenna, soft-ray tinted windshield and windows, air conditioning, power vent windows, power seats, and power locks. A complete list of options can be found on the window sticker in the gallery.

Power comes from a 455 Cubic Inch “Rocket” engine and a three-speed automatic transmission.

The insignia on the trunk is missing the “ninety” portion of “Ninety-Eight”. It is a two-piece insignia and the remaining half is undamaged.

Recent service included; new starter, alternator, front brake calipers and pads on all four wheels, belts, fuel and air filters, fuel lines, fuel pump, vacuum lines, and ignition switch. The fuel tank was removed, cleaned, and sealed. An oil change was also performed including a new filter.
