Let's be realistic, any way you look at it this is a very attractive 50 year old classic Olds that most folks would be thrilled to add to their collection or make it their only weekend cruiser. 72 was a good year, the color's right, the condition's right and it's a coupe for goodness sakes! I love it and someone's going to be very happy with this ride.
Very rare to see a 2 door 98 from this time. Drop dead gorgeous and it has the wire wheels that flatter these cars to no end. And that heavy duty looking sunroof, Wow.
Pops always bought mom 98s. A '68, and then a '70. The '70 had a 455ci engine. I used to sneak it out when I was really young. We'd turn the breather cover upside down to get that cop car effect! lol Years later, mom still had that car. A friend pulled up beside me on the highway, with his '79 Trans Am. We both matted the pedals, in low 2. He jumps me a fender, or so, and shifts into drive. I held the Olds till 90 before shifting up to drive gear. I walked off and left him...
I want to thank you for a great video. After reading some of the comments, I wonder why people who are so disagreeable just don't scoll to the next video. I totally understand you not posting the price yet, as this actually is a fact finding video. By posting you can have some of us give some "positive" input to help you. Obviously one of the previous owners, put in a after market sunroof, slapped some wire wheel covers on it, and probably dumped the original seats to a nicer period correct (within 2 years) pillow top interior, and painted the engine block (L74 455 block) a light blue instead of the original metallic blue. All those things would be considered if someone wanted a EXACT pristine example- which we both know is probably impossible to find. That being said, what a great car! For the rest of us 99%, I think we would be proud to have it in our garage.
You know I really appreciate you taking the time to send over some positive vibes! I make a lot of effort to be sure I am calling these cars right. It's nice to see some folks who do appreciate it!
Okay, when you opened the door to show the interior I just said "wow!". What great condition. I just love GM cruisers of this era. Great car I wish I could afford it.
This 98 is absolutely amazing. ‘72 was such a beautiful body style and the color combination is great. My dad was always an Olds guy up to the early 80’s.
In my early teens my family owned a new one which I was allowed to drive once in a great while. The 98 drive like a locomotive on rails before it had radials. It was heavy, smooth riding, had a four speed Hydromatic, and was very powerful.
@@NateEll I may be wrong about it being a 4 speed, but I felt three distinct modes when I was out drag racing my teen buddies who were driving the families cars. Our 65 Bonneville had a different transmission which was much smoother. One friend's dad owned a Buick Wildcat with two 4 barrels that was a serious contender. There was Cutlass 442 convertible a girl friend owned that could leave rubber at 45 mph. We lived on the south Texas coast, gasoline was cheap, so driving a gas guzzler wasn't a problem. Living on the coast the cars rusted from the topside in no time from the salt air.
That’s a 98 that definitely deserves to be preserved. For me the only thing I would do is get rid of the exhaust tips even though they’re period correct for that era.
Wow , not too many around preserved like that . My parents had a few of them - 455 rocket 4 barrel in the hands of a 16 yo in NYC and on the NY state thruway was quite the privilege, or lapse in parental guidance .
i was 16 in high school when my friends older brother would loan him his 1972 Olds with the same motor ..we would pay him 5 bucks to do a brake stand, you couldn't see the car for tire smoke, once the smoke cleared the only thing left were two 100 foot long skid marks. Olds built some great motors
This Olds 98 is drop dead gorgeous in my favorite color too. I was getting ready to graduate HS that year. Joined the Marines bought a ‘73 Camaro with a longing look at the unaffordable Olds. Then in ‘83 as a hard charging sales guy I finally bought a Silver 1984 Olds Cutlass Supreme Coup. Man that was a gorgeous car too and a great cruiser up and down the NJTPKE. They don’t make em like they used to.
This brings back memories I had a 71 olds 98 4dr brown with a black vinal top and my interior was black vinal also that was a road car and could run to damn I miss it I kept it well cleaned and did most of the maitanance my self
Coupes are special they are always worth more then a 4 door plus I hold a degree in coupeology from the university of Coupealogical sciences at Redbay Alabama
Hey folks, after realizing the seats have been upgraded, I will be doing a new video disclosing that. If I know about it I want potential bidders to know about it. Thanks for all the great commentary!
I was puzzled by the seats as I owned a '72 like this one. That car had the brocade(sp) cloth. The seats in your car resemble the seats my '76 Regency had.
My favorite year of the 1970's Ninety-Eight's, I love the way the headlights look, I like how despite this car has the low compression 455 V8 but it still offers a lot of power and performance, I also love the blue exterior.
man that is a beautiful car thank you for taking the time to show it there is nothing like a very nice classic I have a very nice 87 mercury grand marquis I just love old classics thanks again
Love the full size GM's of 71-72 Just beautiful cars IMO Great to go on dates, lots of space in that back seat. LOL Back in the days when you could be relatively safe"parking". LOL
Had a 72 LS , and it definitely lived up to its name ! Funny thing , I was hooked when I heard the stereo . 4 Dr , you could almost get lost inside of it .Love the Coupe !
Great car! Remember it in high school - friends dad bought one. You’re fantastic and it’s a pleasure to watch your videos. I have a ‘78 Mark V, low mileage. New like! Live it!!
Dad had one. He had "moved up" from Impala when he "made VP" at his 400 company. He continued to drive 98s until GM destroyed Olds. I remember my brother and I were having lunch at an outdoor table about a decade ago watching some poor kid trying to parallel park a Corolla and he joked that if you learned to drive in a 70s Olds you can parallel park anything made today without needing some gizmo to do it for you. So true.
I had a green 72 Olds 98 back in 87 then later I had a green 74 and later a yellow 75 Olds 98, love those cars. They were all 4drs, The 74 didn't have a vinyl top but the other two did. And yes they had full spare tires not a donut tire
My father had a 62', 65', 69' 77' and 85' Ninety Eight. Before that also had a 52' and 55' Rocket 88 Olds. Olds is all he bought. The 65' was the Luxury Sedan and was like a Limo on the inside.
Hello everyone! Today is Dec 7th 2021 and I was just informed that the auction on Bring a Trailer for this 1972 Olds 98 WILL start today!! Very excited to see where this one ends up at! I will provide the link shortly as soon as the car goes live! Thanks for all the great commentary and interest!
Nice car. Nice video. Ignore all of the tough a$$ jealous a$$ keyboard gangsters. Your dedication, information and thoroughness is appreciated by genuine car people. There is enough bad energy in this world. Just sit back, shut up or turn off. Love one another. It's easy.
Hey thank you for that! You know I go over every inch of these cars disclosing EVERYTHING I know about them, but still get criticized! lol! I appreciate your kind words!
That Lincoln will be up for sale soon too on Bring a Trailer! Now that car has 1850 UN-DISPUTABLE low low actual miles!! Can't wait to make a video of that one!
I have started searching the internet to see if I could clear this up. Looks like that interior was available in a 4 door for 71. I mean it's possible that maybe just the seats were upgraded. Does the rest of the interior seem correct?
@@christianbugatticg the blue Regency velour interior was only available in 75/76, also you will notice that it has the wider head rests with the clip for the 3 point seat belts in them that came out when the 3 point belts became mandatory in 1974. The 71-73s had a narrower head rest without the shoulder belt clip. Hope those points help in your research :)
I saw this channel for the first time today... at home with covid... at 69 it's something... got this crap twice... I exercise daily, on vitamins and in sun .... but baddabing I got this weaponized virus...... this channel brings back great memories...a better time.... how much do these go for??? Is it for the big money boys? Either way it's good to watch......
Hey Mike! Yeah, I got it twice but thank goodness I literally little to no symptoms. I was fortunate. Hope you get through it ok. Most people do! This particular car sold for 16,500 and went to California. Glad you are enjoying.
Here is one I have up for auction right now! Will be adding walk around and driving videos on Monday! bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-oldsmobile-ninety-eight-2/
So with these cars for sale, reviewed, or bought, coming around recently. Somebody is either a time traveler, or someone was a very good car thief back years ago. This is beautiful.
Beautiful car - I had this model. I think the original wheel covers looked better. But, the power and torque from the 1972 engine would beat almost any car off the line.
I was packing my 68 impala my friend is driving a bronze version , any how he toots the horn. It’s a triple trumpet type pretty loud , I turned around he waves. Wow that’s a nice car Then Blaaam ! There was a pinto just parked on the street .Well that 98 olds pushed it like a toy . It was his bosses car . The headlights were dangling the look on his face said it all . I drove to Chanute AFB in Illinois
Engine bay was detailed and what needed paint, the shop did. I don't disagree with you about the roof. Can hardly find these and I didn't want to not buy it just because of the roof. Hopefully the next owner feels the same way. Thanks!
ill never forget her. just lay back and blowaway the compitition with looks as well as power. she kept me smilin. this ones super sharp. what gangsta she is,,
@@christianbugatticg I like the straight tailpipe look better on muscle cars. I know you probably sold this off already but an Olds 98 coupe from that period is a rare car to see. Thank you for showing it.
The Owner's Manual should tell you what kind of spare tire came with this car. You have that manual right + the original MFR's window sticker - right ?
Hey Rick! We are hoping the auction goes live in less than 2 weeks. However, per Bring a Trailer they insist we don't reveal the reserve. Not my rule, but I do follow it. That being said, I "believe" it does somewhere in the teens. Hope you understand! And thank you for your interest!
@@christianbugatticg I think that’s in the right price range. Where is the car located and how do I register for the auction. I remember these cars very well.
@@rickhendrix5158 We are in Myrtle Beach SC. If you go to Bring a Trailer website, there should be a link to sign up. It's just a matter of giving your info. Thanks for the interest and you are welcome to come look in person if you like!
I have a 1973 Olds 98 LS that is very solid but needs a repaint. It has a mint black interior and a good black vinyl roof, but I can not stand the factory mustard yellow paint.
@@mitchd949 If you are referring to the overspray on the exhaust manifolds, that is absolutely correct as to how it left the factory. The guy that does my engine bay restorations gets original pics and makes them look as close as possible to the factory specs. The engine block color admittedly was missed. Thanks!
Let's be realistic, any way you look at it this is a very attractive 50 year old classic Olds that most folks would be thrilled to add to their collection or make it their only weekend cruiser. 72 was a good year, the color's right, the condition's right and it's a coupe for goodness sakes! I love it and someone's going to be very happy with this ride.
Thank you!!
Yeah, but those wheels, sunroof and exhaust make it look like a Mexican drug lord's car! 🎱
My dad had a 73 Oldsmobile 98. That thing was a land yacht. It was a bare bones model. Manual everything. Still fun to drive.
Very rare to see a 2 door 98 from this time. Drop dead gorgeous and it has the wire wheels that flatter these cars to no end. And that heavy duty looking sunroof, Wow.

In my early teens my family owned a new one which I was allowed to drive once in a great while. The 98 drive like a locomotive on rails before it had radials. It was heavy, smooth riding, had a four speed Hydromatic, and was very powerful.
Are you sure it was a 4 speed hydromatic and not a 3 speed ?
@@NateEll I may be wrong about it being a 4 speed, but I felt three distinct modes when I was out drag racing my teen buddies who were driving the families cars.

turbo 400 3 speed
Incredibly near new condition! Impressive Indeed, def brings back memories of my youth...
Great Video 👍
Thanks!
That’s a 98 that definitely deserves to be preserved. For me the only thing I would do is get rid of the exhaust tips even though they’re period correct for that era.
I agree with you about the exhaust tips -- they don't do anything for the beauty of this car.
Agreed, I was going to put it back to stock but just never got around to it. I will leave that for the next care taker! Thanks!
Yeah, I agree about the exhaust tips. I like the aftermarket wheels though.
Yes..the exhaust tips look a little ghetto..still a beautiful ride and I would still be proud to drive it regardless.
I grew up in Oldsmobile 98’s, joined the Air Force and only bought Oldsmobile’s myself..I have my parent’s last Oldsmobile, an ‘87 Touring Sedan
Wow , not too many around preserved like that . My parents had a few of them - 455 rocket 4 barrel in the hands of a 16 yo in NYC and on the NY state thruway was quite the privilege, or lapse in parental guidance .

Amazing looking car. The color combination is outstanding. The wire wheel set off the entire car. It really looks like it drove right out of the 70’s.
Thanks!
When I was a kid, we had the 1972 Custom Cruiser wagon. This car reminds me of it minus the back of course. Beautiful example.
That is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen.....I'm drooling
Thanks! I love that body style!
Amazing vehicle, I had so much fun in my 73 olds 98.
By Far my favorite 98 ...1972 was a great year for cars. I am particularly fond of this models front and rear end. Thanks for sharing!
Yes a very sleek and cool car! Thanks!
Love this olds 98 coupe these cars always had a Cadillac like roofline the 98 olds was Oldsmobiles flagship car very flawless

Thanks for the kind words!!
Back in the day we'd call this a "Cream Puff", beautiful coupe, love the double blue.
Tires and rims made this car pop!! Moon roof I never saw that style but looks good on this car.
Yes Bill I remember our conversation.
Thanks!! Have a Happy 4th!!
Bill I try to stay out of trouble but if there're any sometimes I like to start trouble🤪In a good way
Much thanks to the original owner(s) who lovingly preserved this masterpiece!
Thanks!
love the 98 coupe. love the color. love LOVE the fact there is no vinyl roof,,would pop original wheel covers back on.
Yes, I agree.
Magnificent car! Reminds me of the ‘76 De Villes I used to own.
Thanks!
Awesone overview of this Olds 98 '72, Christian. The tail shape reminds me of mid 50 cars which had it back then.
Thanks, that is my dad actually! I do all his videos!
@@christianbugatticg Great, it's good to revive this extinct GM Division on video. Still present in our memories, for sure.
My first new car was a white with maroon interior 4 door 98. That car was gorgeous and huge!
Nice!
These look AMAZING in white too by the way!
That is a beauty! Perfect color and the Appliance spokes are perfect on it. Just fantastic. I couldn't bring myself to sell it.
Glad you like it!
Oh my goodness this is one beautiful Oldsmobile. WOW. I appreciate your honesty and details of the car.
Thank you!!!
@@competitioncarsofficemanag368 I'd be interested in the auction. If you could supply me with the details I'd enjoy the opportunity to participate

True!
That's a beautiful Oldsmobile ive owned 4myself that's a great car
Thanks and Nice!!!
Cars in 72 particularly GM had great looking grills and front ends. In 73 everything changed with obnoxious protruding bumpers.
Love those 2 door 'sleds'... What a beauty!! 👍 😎
Nice car. Nice video. Ignore all of the tough a$$ jealous a$$ keyboard gangsters. Your dedication, information and thoroughness is appreciated by genuine car people. There is enough bad energy in this world. Just sit back, shut up or turn off. Love one another. It's easy.
Hey thank you for that! You know I go over every inch of these cars disclosing EVERYTHING I know about them, but still get criticized! lol! I appreciate your kind words!
early 70's radios have a problem with the "in windshield" antenna - sometimes a fender antenna does the trick
You can sure see the Cadillac influence in the side view .
The Olds 98 is gorgeous for a "72"....but I had a hard time focusing on the car because I kept watching you in those jeans!....pretty hot!
LOL. Sorry!
Beautiful 98! That car has fins!... My very first car was a 1975 Olds Cutlass - exact same colors as the one outside the window at 8:15.
That is wonderful 98 - if any 76 like it , i love it .
I was lucky enough to win the bid on this beautiful car. Replaced the rims with 1990 Custom Cruiser Oldsmobile rims - looks better now
It does look SWEET
That olds is certainly a beautiful car, my eyes kept darting to the one in front of it that beautiful Lincoln sitting in front of it LOL
That Lincoln will be up for sale soon too on Bring a Trailer! Now that car has 1850 UN-DISPUTABLE low low actual miles!! Can't wait to make a video of that one!
What is your website ? Like to see more of your cars that's available
Thanks! Compcarsmb.com. However all the old cars are sold on Bring a Trailer, which is an online auction.
nice car to cruise the streets in
Thanks!
Yep, the seats are from a 1975/76 Regency, so much for being original
Are they?? Can you provide some evidence of that? As far as I know these are what came in the car new. Thanks!
I have started searching the internet to see if I could clear this up. Looks like that interior was available in a 4 door for 71. I mean it's possible that maybe just the seats were upgraded. Does the rest of the interior seem correct?
Yep! Best guess is just the seats were upgraded. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I learned something new today.
@@christianbugatticg the blue Regency velour interior was only available in 75/76, also you will notice that it has the wider head rests with the clip for the 3 point seat belts in them that came out when the 3 point belts became mandatory in 1974.

My first car was a 72 Ninety Eight : best car I ever had. Got over 20mph on highway with that huge engine. Great performance.
Wow, not bad at all!
God I would give anything for one of these...my grandparents had one green with white interior..mi grew up in that car... would give anything for one
Here is one I have up for auction right now! Will be adding walk around and driving videos on Monday! bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-oldsmobile-ninety-eight-2/
The back of the car reminds me of the 1963 Cadillac.
It does! LOVE the fins!
I could watch this all day, lovely 👌😎
Thanks!
RV style sunroof will sour many!
Yes I know, but when I saw the car and the potential it had I couldn't pass! Hoping the next buyer has my same mindset! lol
sweet ride,those rims very stylish
Thanks 👍
A Class of its Own ;
Not a Cadillac,
Not a Buick,
That's an Oldsmobile !
So with these cars for sale, reviewed, or bought, coming around recently. Somebody is either a time traveler, or someone was a very good car thief back years ago. This is beautiful.
Beautiful, thanks for posting!

My father bought that same car in 1972 for my brother and brown fantastic memories, Oldsmobile 98 regency 4dr
Beautiful car - I had this model. I think the original wheel covers looked better. But, the power and torque from the 1972 engine would beat almost any car off the line.

Yes it would, I had a 74 and that puppy would kick ass. Would float like a cloud while hitting 140. Go ahead ask me how I know. 🤣😎

Stunning Ninety Eight 👌

I do not. Sometimes I get a bunch of stuff with these cars and sometimes I don't. If you buy it I will get you an owner's manual.
This is amazing car. When is the auction and what is the reserve? Thanks for the great video.
Hey Rick! We are hoping the auction goes live in less than 2 weeks. However, per Bring a Trailer they insist we don't reveal the reserve. Not my rule, but I do follow it. That being said, I "believe" it does somewhere in the teens. Hope you understand! And thank you for your interest!
@@christianbugatticg I think that’s in the right price range. Where is the car located and how do I register for the auction. I remember these cars very well.
Christian where's the car located and how do I register for the auction?
@@rickhendrix5158 We are in Myrtle Beach SC. If you go to Bring a Trailer website, there should be a link to sign up. It's just a matter of giving your info. Thanks for the interest and you are welcome to come look in person if you like!
I wish I still had mine. It's was a beautiful car.
How Olds lost its way after making this beauty is a mystery
Frankly, I'd flip a coin between a choice of these 98's or the Electra's from any year. I adore them. Great video
Does it come with a large pimp hat and platform disco shoes?? Golf bag with Tommy gun???
Thanks!
“Soft and Supple” had me rolling
LOL!! I love that phrase!!!
I have a 1973 Olds 98 LS that is very solid but needs a repaint. It has a mint black interior and a good black vinyl roof, but I can not stand the factory mustard yellow paint.
I love how the turn signals follow the contour of the headlight buckets. 1972.
Hi Bill ,👍 Happy Fourth too you guys also

I'm looking for an affordable economical classic from the seventies... Will this fit the bill?
This one is actually sold. Let me know what your price point is and I can guide you in the right direction. Thanks! Bill
@@christianbugatticg Sorry I was just being silly, joking about the economy bit... Mpg must be interesting on this land yacht! 😂
Beautiful car but the engine is painted the wrong color. The 455 is supposed to be a metallic blue which is available.
It looks like they sprayed it while it was installed?!
Yes, someone missed the color. Pretty easy fix.
@@mitchd949 If you are referring to the overspray on the exhaust manifolds, that is absolutely correct as to how it left the factory. The guy that does my engine bay restorations gets original pics and makes them look as close as possible to the factory specs. The engine block color admittedly was missed. Thanks!
Car is Clean Classic...
