1983 Oldsmobile 98 Regency review from North America
"A beast"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just a few fuses needed to be replaced, and the panel lights need to be replaced.
General comments?
This is my first car, and it is a great one. The only problem is that the vacuum lines had to be replaced due to being stored for upwards of 7 months.
I am the third owner and am not going to sell it for any amount of money. This car is going to become a show car very soon.
The 305 pumps out enough power to smoke the tires with ease. And it also has good pick up.
