- Have this little jewel sitting in my barn (would this be a barn find) It's been sitting in a garage and then a barn for most of its adult life.
Belonged to my grandfather as he bought it new. I have been the care taker for the last 40 years, and hopefully it will be around after I'm gone.
Showing the options and functions of this super clean Oldsmobile 98 Luxury Sedan. " It's not your Father's Oldsmobile", It's my Grandfathers Oldsmobile.
I learned to drive on this car! My father had the exact car (except in white). Was a great car. One thing, no comparison from this 425 Olds engine and the 78 Cadillac 425. The blocks are entirely different just had the same volumetric measure. For those interested. this engine was rated at 365 gross horsepower (about 270 net horsepower) while the Cadillac engine was rated at 180 net horsepower (about 260 horsepower gross under the old system). Great video!
Thx. Yes no comparison from Olds to Cad. For same size motor Cad is a gutless wonder.
It's we had the exact car except no vinyl top. I took my drivers test on it in 737
Oh wow, thanks for the video on this beauty, the epitome of Oldsmobile luxury cars. The Oldsmobile always had such a distinctive exhaust sound, you could pick them out in any crowd 😃
It is a lux-o-barge. Thx for watching.
Incredible Oldsmobile. Love the 98s. Plenty of leg room in front and in the back.
Thx for watching glad h you liked it.
My friend’s dad bought a 66’ Ninety Eight Luxury Sedan brand new. It was that car that made me an Oldsmobile guy. I’ve owned 8 so far. From 98’- two 88’s, three cutlass’s, (71, 76, 79. Two Toronado’s 87, 90 Trofeo. Oldsmobile was just a touch above the rest.
Yes sir. That sums it up.
Man, what an amazing car, big brother Kleps! Oldsmobiles from the late 60's through a lot of the 70's are some of my faves, man. Very much a man's car, I feel-and quite special. Your Granddad would be proud of you as her caretaker. ⚾😜JV Johnny
Thx for watching it is a Beast. Great driver.
A real mans car!!! Respect to pops!!
My grandparents had a '68 Ninety Eight coupe in a similar blue with a black top, blue interior. I rode a lot of miles sitting on the armrest between them (totally unsafe but it was the '70s). My dad then got it from them in '75 and we had it until 1977. I loved that car. Lots of memories! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. Great cars.
My dad gave me his 1967 Olds when I turned 16. This exact color, except it was a hard top. I am now 62, and would give anything to have this car. ❤
They are still out there. Unfortunately mine is not for sale.
Thx for watching. We share the same birth year.
A true highway star made many trips to the N.E. from Florida in a 67 just like that one what a fine automobile !!
Agreed, and thanks for watching.
@@KlepsGarage Your a blessed man to have her in your stable and it being passed down from your grandpa I too was honored by my boss's family with one of his favorite autos a 1988 Mercury colony park wagon it was garaged it whole life close to show room condition she sat in the shop collecting dust I was handed the keys and as you know she needed some love fuel pump valve cover gaskets ETC ETC she's on the road now and gets a thumbs up every once in awhile.Will sub your channel and be looking out for some more cool content 👍
Thank you. I have 5 or 6 wagons. They are big fun too. A new vid will be out this Friday. Thanks again.
My dad’s brother, my Uncle Joe, had one that looked like this, but maybe it was a ‘68.
I was thinking it had a 455.
Dad & his brother were both management at Fisher Body / GMC.
This brings back some memories.
I’d love to drive that car!
67 had the 425 cid. 1968 went to the 455 cid. Fun cars. They are still out there to find and buy. Thx for watching
My grandfather had a 67 this exact color combo, grandpa bought a 70 toronado my parents got the 67, good times back then, thank you for letting this content be seen.
Thx for watching 🙏🏻
A very well kept car, sitting inside has helped it from the rough outside weather. Love those toothy hubcaps from 67; it reminds me of our Vista Cruiser (1967) which came with them. RIP Grandpa. Keep it and enjoy it in his behalf.
Thank you 🙏🏻
My first car was a 67 98 LS, bland beige with beige vinyl roof and interior. I wanted a 64 Plymouth Sport Fury convertible, but my mom was afraid I’d flip it and break my neck. Mine also had cornering lights, power vent windows which wouldn’t seal tightly against the frame, and an AM/FM stereo. My friends wondered why I drove such a beast until they saw how much beer we could get in the trunk when we went to the lake!
Great memories ahh 🍺 Beer trunk would also sleep three.
My grandfather bought this very color 67 98, my parents inherited it, I loved that old car. My grandfather bought this and a 67 camaro rs both for less than 7k. Imagine that today. I will never forget it, after the 98 grandpa bought a 70 Toronado.
Glad I could stir up some cheesy memories. That’s for watching. 😎
that 67 98 was a design leader in many respects....that car was the first to have the back up lights positioned in the middle of the rear bumper....one of many forward designs...i also had a 1966 Olds Toronado..the most advanced car in America....
Beautiful! My dad had a '67 Delta 88 Convertible that we lovingly called "The Pig". Always thought the front ends on these were awesome, but can't lie, I've always the liked the profile of the 98 more!
I'm a writer, and choosing the hero car for my next short story. I decided on a '67 Olds 98 Luzury Sedan in blue with a black top. Then I came to CZcams and found your video - sweet! Liked and subscribed. Thank you for the inspiration!
Glad I could help. It is a nice car. Let me know if you need a picture for the cover of your book.
When I was younger I wouldn't have gave this car a second look.. Now I'm knocked out by it. What a time machine.
Same here!. Thank you for appreciating.
It’s a classic. Fun to drive to.
Yes. So many people are turning away from muscle cars now. They are appreciating the well made stylish boats of the 60’s and 70’s
Beautiful example of the top of the line 98. My dad had a 66 98 Holiday Sedan. They were great cars.
Thx for watching. They are great cars.
Amazing 98. I love the old Oldsmobile’s especially the 98’s.
Thanks for watching
The Olds. 425 is a torque monster, no lack of power whatsoever!
Wow! So cool that you kept your Grandfather's affects in the car! My Grandpa's last car was a 62 Super 88. My family ended up with it after he passed. It didn't look like much by then but it was a blast to drive with the 394 high compression engine, but the best part was that after all those years, the interior still smelled like Grandpa's cigars!
My grandfather never smoked however my father puffed on a pipe a few times in the car. Know that smell. I used Irish Spring soap bars to kill that smell like the new car smell better. Thx for watching.
Wow! Love the blue! Awesome to see a four door Olds. Lookin' clean!
Thanks for watching check out EP 17 on my 1971 Limo, since you like Caddies!
Great car!
I had a boyfriend that had a 1968 Olds 98 in the same color as yours. It sure was a huge car
They are a land barge. Are you bing watching? 😂😂enjoy.
My Dad had a 72 98. I currently have a 70 98 convertible. I love them.
I use to do what I called the triple 98 on my dads car. I’d drive that 98 on Hwy 98 while doing 98 mph.
This one is extremely nice. I love it.
You could definitely drive 98 miles on interstate 98 in your Olds 98 at 98 mph. I wonder if you would meet Doc Brown in his DeLorean
😂😂😂
Thx for watching
Love those mid 60s Olds 98 Luxury Sedan's, 1966-68 my favorites.
I remember acquiring a 66 Olds 98 with his exact same color combination which is my favorite by the way, not much was changed except the dashboard on mine was different the telescopic wheel was a knob in the center that you turn L or R, but will your car here is a 10 mine was more of a 7.. it was a barn find and I remember the cruise control actually worked.. and it had a level to tell if you were going up or downhill to accelerate. And it was fine until one day in Connecticut on highway 84 it got stuck.. and I mean really stuck !! My buddy and I started the panic because we could not disconnect it so once we approached 90 mph.. in the car that was sitting for 22 years and just got running the day before, I finally decided the only alternative was to turn the key off and take our chances. Luckily we got her to stop but taking care not to use all the brake pressure that was left in the reservoir until the last several feet..lol.. even the nice state trooper that pulled us over had a good sense of humor thankfully and did not issue us a ticket he was amazed at the thing could do 90 and how we knew that was because he had it on radar.. that car also came with a mint 1980 Cadillac Fleetwood with only 40K and I was amazed that the 66 olds started right up where it took weeks to get the old caddy going because of its primitive computer.. I kept both cars for a long time but was offered a very good price so I sold it but I miss the old and seeing this video brought back memories cuz it's the exact same color and interior.. once again I love watching your videos but I stay up way too late because they're so interesting I'm tired the next day.
Cool story. Well you don’t half to watch them all at once. 😂😎
Watch episode 69. It tells the story of why I do this.
What a beauty. Yes my 66 Riv with the 425 needs primium, plus a bottle of octane boost, and a bottle of lead additive (if you can find it!)
My dad had one,same color, dark blue cloth interior,very comfortable
i had a 1967 Olds 98 LS.....it was my favorite car....they made a 425cid and an Ultra High Compression 425cid.....that car is the hottest sedan made in 1967.....i love that car!!!!
It’s a nice one. Thx for watching
🇺🇸👍 That’s a sweet car, very nice. My Mother bought a 1965 Impala SS brand new always garaged and serviced buy the dealer, looked and ran as it just came off the show room floor. She owned it until a few years before passing, I wanted to buy it from her she refused to sell it to me , saying I didn’t need a big gas hog. I grew up washing and waxing that car and learned taking care of things can last you a lifetime. She sold it for $5,500.00 5 years ago I told before that it was worth close to 10 times that amount but as many other things she didn’t believe me, and yes we did have issues. Hopefully it went to a good home, I believe that she did. 👍🥩🥔🌽🍪🥛🥛💤
Wow. Now that’s a story. It’s a shame you didn’t end up with it. Maybe it will come back to you. I’ve sold cars and they came back. Owner died or they didn’t want. So I won’t sell them again.
Ah man that’s horrible! I would never get over that
You may need to pour a lead additive into your fuel so the engine wont wear out because of today's unleaded fuels. Either that or get the valve seats replaced by hardened unleaded fuel valve seats. Very important, because this car looks to be very well kept.
I run 2 cycle engine oil in my gas on all my old cars. Grandpa. Always ran marvel oil in gas.
so great to see this video....awesome car..thank you!!!
Glad you liked it.
My dad bought the same car in 68, only difference was no vinyl top. I took my driving test in it in 73. Imagine parallel parking that 19 footer!
Yep. I used a 69 mustang fastback. And couldn’t see out the back window. Thx for watching
I have a white 1981 model that still serves me well!
Thx for watching. Keep it running and enjoy it.
I worked at an Oldsmobile dealership in 1976. We had a customer that had a ‘68 & a ‘74 Ninety Eight. I couldn’t believe how compact the ‘68 was compared to the ‘74. A ‘68 is virtually identical to this ‘67.
Nice, handsome boat!
Thank you
Wow, Very clean! I was born in 1967 and this car is in better shape than me. The engine bay is amazing. Thanks for spending some time under the hood. I am an Oldsmobile fan and was not aware of the switch pitch torque converter myself.
Thank you. Yes. Olds was first with a lot of things. Front wheel drive. Air bags. And lock up converter. All before 1976.
In the late '70s my mother had a '67 98, teal I believe. That thing was a tank. One day I was driving on a slick, snowy street and hit the brake a bit too hard and slid into a fire hydrant, on the right rear side. Never put even a ding in the body, through the hydrant showed some damage. :)
You are correct. Battleship. Thx 4 watching.
Nice Wheel Horse too!
Thx. It’s a made up one. Long hood. With older style half fenders. WH. Never made one.
If you ever sell this car, let me know. My parents had a 67 the same color, minus the vinyl roof. It was the car my dad gave me in 1978 when I got my license. Unfortunately I didn't take very good care of it, and it eventually ended up at the junk yard. Man do I miss that car.
This will not be sold. Will be handed down to my grandkids. 5th gen.
These cars are still out there. Won’t be as good of shape though.
Your car is awsome, oh by the way you sound like George le bay on the film Christine, ha ha
Thx. Now I got to look that up
He was in Home alone. Hear all along thought I sounded like Bruce. 😂😂
Love those Oldsmobile 98°z 👆🏼✔️🚀💪🏼💯‼️✌🏼
I'll take it!
Thx. Unfortunately, not for sale.
67/68 were really nice yrs for Olds. ( aka youngmobile lol) I had a 4 door Cutlass Supreme same color unfortunately NE winters were the enemy turned into a rust bucket.
Agreed only way to stay nice is to keep ‘em dry
My Dad had 68 LS loved that car
Great car thx for watching.
Not buying the button pushing in the glove box. I think you knew it didn’t close the garage. I think you just wanted to push it to see what it did lol. I know I would!
All I know is I was young enough I couldn’t read the word trunk 😂😂 thx for watching.
My grandfather had that identical car in pewter gray on gray. (Late 1966-1971) He mentioned that it was rough on tires.
Old nylons. Yes. My wife even burnt rubber leaving a stop sign Radials have better traction.
@@KlepsGarage He sold it early late in '71 and bought an Ivy Green '71 Mercedes 280SE with the 4.5L V8. That nylon interior in the '67 98 was like sitting in a cradle. Very nice on long trips.
you can see the quality and content Olds put in its cars...take off one of those hubcaps!!! it weighs 100 lbs...lol...high quality and killer style and good looks....the car did come with front waste baskets...the factory ones came with carpet in them..matching the carpet in the car
I’m beginning to sense you like Oldsmobile😂😂😎
My favorite yr olds
GM's entry into the luxury segment followed by Buick and then Cadillac.
By today's standards the offset (track) of the wheels - especially the front - looks crazy like the body will slide right off the frame, but that's how they all were... Then there's the sound of the Oldsmobile engine. When I was a young kid I could tell what every car was (at least the make) with my eyes closed. Some you could tell what model it was by one sound or another. Like the front end rattle in some Fords for example. Anybody?
They want electric crap
@@KlepsGarage well, if that's what they want they need to vote Democrat next month. If you have a brain though cast a vote for the GOP. Don't forget, it's IMPERATIVE.
Beautiful automobile, indeed! So clean. Does that little fist-sized dent in the rear left bumper bother you with the car being so straight? I would definitely get her switched over to the factory-optional, dual exhausts. That Rocket engine would sound so much better in stereo.
Dent is a battle scare from my grandfather. Going to keep this one original you know they’re only original once. So no changes. It is what it is.
@@KlepsGarage I definitely get it. It is part of the car's character now and the love you feel for your grandfather.
Pre-emission engines run better and last forever with proper maintenance. I guarantee you that oil and filter was changed every 3k miles for the last 55 years. Probably did the first oil change within a thousand miles of new. Those rings and seals are tight and wet…… which is how you want a lot of things in life
😂😂 Amen brother.
the cold light was to let u know when the heat was ready
Yes. Caddy had a blower temp sensor. Heater Fan would not work past low till engine warm.
16:57 Appropriate to be wearing a hat in a car of that era! It seems to take that turn so lightly. My 'little' 2010 Honda Accord probably weighs almost as much as it, owing to all the safety implements(air bags, side impact beams, etc) incorporated into it.
Oh yes must have you hat on. Chrysler in the sixties had raised roofs so you could have you hats on and be seen I guess.
@@KlepsGarage I was thinking more along the lines of looking like the traveling salesmen who might have driven these cars back then.
Well there that to. I guess. 😂 thx for watching
One of the best things about this car is it’s not a Buick lol
Amen brother. Thx for watching.
@@KlepsGarage ….. I don’t care what anyone says about Oldsmobile then Buick then Cadillac, for me it’s Oldsmobile and I have my reasons
The 1967 Buick Electra was a great car too.
Just seen one on Facebook market. 2,800 frozen engine missing interior
Sooo. I guess mine should be worth a little more 😂😎thx for watching
it doesnt have the full front rubber floor mat..it is one piece..goes over the transmission tunnel
I never liked the full Matt. Made the car look like a truck. Besides it only hauled two people most of the time.
I had a 67 Olds 98. It was Silver with a gray colored interior. The vinyl top was black. There was no plastic in that car. The problem l had with it is the engine was burning oil. The clock did not work. I would love to own another one.
Thanks for watching. I drove Maine today. Fun car.
Wow I had one of those but mine was nowhere as nice mine had almost a inch of bondo and a black primer paint job that would shine nicely with armor all or oil when I couldn't afford the armor all lol but I do miss that car and would like to have another one
Thank you. Start your search. There not good on gas though.
@@KlepsGarage its not about gas its about cool lol I rather pay for the gas than to drive one of these new cookie cutter plastic cheap cars
@@afigueroa1969 Amen brother. Your preaching to the choir
that car does not have the COMFORTRON ac and heat system...nor the AM FM WONDERBAR radio...
Yes. As said in the vid. FM was too new. It will never catch on.
@ 0:07- “an 18-foot car is not quick”-@0:08-wrong! Grandpa ordered the 4-2-7 !
Never had it floored in any part of video.
Is it for sale?
Sorry, no it’s not.
@@KlepsGarage I don't blame you. That's gorgeous.
Why do you have so many cars!? Where do you get them!? Are you rich!?
It’s a character flaw I am a car hoarder. I’ve been buying and collecting since 1979. The problem is “Sell” is a 4 letter word. I’m trying to keep up with Leno. I’m rich with friends. By the way collecting is a compulsive disorder I have embraced my disorder!😂
@@KlepsGarage …. I like Jackson’s
