I had one exactly like that, same color year, convertible, everything but the wheels and exhaust is spot on. I got hit in 1981 by a truck that pushed me into another truck. Both trucks were totaled... mine was pretty badly wrecked but could have been redone... I decided to scrap it and get a used camaro. Regretted that decision ever since then... worse, when I found GM only made 3400 of those. The engine was way too powerful and torque too aggressive for the ladies that liked to drive it.
erusshiatt : Are you sure? I have always heard it was a '68 Ninety-eight. :3gasman Cars as far back as '66 had seatbelts. We had a '66 4-door LTD hardtop, and it had seatbelts.
Beautiful! My favorite year of the Ninety-Eight. My grandparents had a light blue 2-door hardtop, bought new, until 1975, when my dad bought it. We had it another 2 years. I cried when he traded it. I can remember riding on the center armrest between my grandparents...imagine!
What is the worth of a car like this? I have a guy that wants to sell me one that has been in storage for four years for $2500. same color, same engine. its convertible.
@rayn1988 If it is in good condition that doesn't sound too bad. I replaced many wear items in the front end along with rebuilding the motor. It can add up quick.
That's a gorgeous Oldsmobile 98 you have there. I just bought a 1968 Oldsmobile 98 last month and have really enjoyed fixing her up and cruisin" around the neighborhood. Tell me about her if you want. Thanks !!
The rims are American Racing chrome wheels with a spoke basket that fastens over them. I've had them for 10+ years now, and they weren't that expensive.
I love it, thanks. I remember we had one, driving home at night from a family gathering, my 9 year old sister asleep totally stretched out across the back seat, and me at 6 years old laying across the floor, trying with hands and feet to touch both sides. Dad driving at 80mph. When I got bored I would stand on the front seat between Mom and Dad. Seat belt? What's that?
Beautiful car! My dad had a '73 back before I was born. It was a blue four door sedan with a 455 4 barrel. I wish I could have been alive to ride in it. The late 60's and early 70's Oldsmobiles are just works of art!
i have on just like that. sold it, then bought it back in the worst shape and a blown engine. i wait for the day i could restore it to this great condition...
Mine was candy apple red. I miss her do.

This one has seatbelts. I don't know if they were standard or an option?
3gasman 1 year ago
@3gasman Seatbelts were required equipment on US cars beginning in 1968, along with side marker lamps, and several other safety features.
erusshiatt 11 months ago
@3gasman hi first of all love your car: it is awesome hey by any chance are you selling the car?
swimgirl1608 7 months ago
@3gasman Good question on the seat belts, but being that it's a top of the line car, I am going to say seat belts must have been standard.

did the 1968 olds 98 come equipped with seatbelts or were they an option?
