My grandma had one of those 98s when i was a kid in the 80s/90s, she could hardly see towards the end of her life but still insisted on driving herself everywhere, and that poor car had all the dents and scratches to prove it... I remember riding with her as a child, basically terrorizing Davenport Iowa in a 6000 pound tank being piloted by a blind 5 foot nothing eighty pound woman 😂
-
WE NEED MORE ANGUS. He has the crude humor that feeds my soul.
-
Kevin: does that carb move? Angus: no its bolted to the engine kevin Bruh loool
-
People never realize how good these cars are as cruising machines. Even 40+ years later, they do exactly as intended. The smile on Mooks face, as well as Kevins proves it. Gotta love GM.
-
That's a great car, I think the fender and door are 100% worth having repaired to a high standard.
-
I can't get over how immaculate that interior is. Amazing find.
-
WoW i had this exact same car in 1989, i bought mine for $500.00 all it needed was new rotors and brake pads & the ride was incredible, i drove that thing cross country 3 times, then sold it 1 month before going off to basic training in 1990 , i WISH i STILL had that car.
-
43:43 It was a fine automobile indeed. I remember riding in the back seat of a brand new '75 when I was young. 100+ mph yet so smooth, quiet, spacious and comfortable. These old machines deserve to be kept alive, because they will never make anything like it again.
-
I love how proud you were to show your dad and his response is a simple "Why?" LOL. Clean car!
-
Kevin and Angus make a dynamic duo! This car is an absolute gem. It's in remarkable shape all things considered. The interior is like showroom quality. Great stuff as always guys! And happy birthday Kevin! 🎉
-
Excellent tutorials (bleeding master cylinder, machining rotors, setting timing, setting preload on axle nuts, etc)! Kevin’s an awesome teacher.
-
The burnout had me in tears 😂 he said, "dude, we gotta get outta here"! 😂
-
Love that you rescued this boat! All the big 70s cars have been underappreciated for so long but I think they are becoming popular.
-
Finally got to see Kevin use brake clean for its intended purpose
-
Kevin and Mook need to get Navy Captains hats to wear while driving the land yacht around. The U.S.S. Oldsmobile!
-
This was my first car. as a teen I had big fun rolling in 😂Mobile Make-out Motel. I want another one.. Pure luxury in a land yacht. Seriously this video made me miss Dad(we had great days servicing and driving the 98) A simpler time and it his car defined the era as a kid. Mother even smiled when I showed her this video!
-
My grandfather had one of these. 455 indeed. Mash the throttle and the entire car just lifted up. It's a living room on wheels.
-
Fix the fender, replace the bumper fillers and this car is actually a valuable car too. 30k mile 98 Regency is quite coveted among collectors.
-
I’ve have my parents ‘73 Olds 98. It’s been stored inside most of its life and it’s interior is immaculate as well. I just love the ride quality of these old boats. It’s night and day difference from my 1960 Chevy Biscayne.
