1983 Oldsmobile 98 regency review from North America
"A great car for anybody to own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump blew at 130000.
Drivers seat has major wear and tear.
General comments?
I have had this car for over three years know. when I got my first car it was a 1976 260z this car gave me nothing, but problems. One day the Nissan just called it quites. about a month latter my father bought me my olds, at first I was thinking, that's a huge car.but soon I began to love it. I have never sat in a more confertable car before, it is like a couch on wheels. about a year ago, I decided to turn it into my project car. I plan to make it into a lowrider. this car is destine to become one, just look at the clean lines of the car. so far I have redone the interior just changing the color of the fabric, from brown to black, and I have installed a high performance stereo. Sadly the car was hit by a driver who ran a red light, but it still runs rock solid, its beeing repaired and will be sporting a pearl white paint job in about a month.
I can't wait to get it back out.
