How did you trust the brakes after sitting for 26 years. Did you do some off camera repairs?

The Olds 445s were bullet proof. Sir, you got yourself a winner.

I owned a 1968 Olds 98 four door. It had power everything ,windows door locks, antenna and six way power seats. Bought it from the company I worked for. Was the president of the companies car. In 1976 I got it for $300.00 plus 5 hours of free labour. What a beast that thing was. Cracked the cam 2 years after buying it. Couldn’t afford to fix it and junked it. Looking back, what shame. Thanks for sharing.👍👍🇨🇦

LOVE these old yahts.....I always say......if the car could talk....what a story it would have............At 58.I TRULY ENJOY these old cars,that roamed around when I was young.......

Lush green coast sandy beaches and blue sky’s matching that restored sky blue beauty,well done…jealous as hell you living there as well 👍👍🤗

Saw so many fun memories about Cars of this era. A separate voltage regulator; high beam floor switch; speaker in the rear seat that always caught my hair as a kid; good ole point and condenser; fender skirts; dark green factory tented windows that kept the interior somewhat nice; details like the Olds emblem side markers and the big 454. My dad almost bought a 68 Olds 98 LS (Luxury Sedan) that was fully loaded. I was in JR high school and though that Olds was a beautiful mist green with the plush seats was nice, he bought a two door 68 T-Bird Landau with the 429 Thunder Jet that we kept in the family until I was out of high school. (Got to take it on dates) What a great car and the quality of Olds and American cars shows through by the fact that the top, windows, and just about everything under hood works. Great driver and worth saving.

Se3cond owner 69 Olds Delta 88. Step father bought new white with silk brocaid interior. 455 engine used approx 6000 miles per year kept garaged. ENGINE OIL AND FILTER CHASNGED EVERY 3000.He passed away with less than 100k. car changed to me 2nd set of brakes electronic ign. Edlebrock intake and FAST fuel injection installed years ago. original paint but due soon for new paint (getting thin). exhaust system changed 3 years ago. Great cruise car for trips. drive it once a month or so.

This reminded me of a neighbor back in the day that bought a new Ninety Eight convertible every year. He started with a 63 Impala, then a 64 Impala and in 65 an Olds Ninety Eight. He bought a 66 and one of his kids totaled it. He then bought a 67 and that one had an engine fire and got junked. He had that one a while and then bought a 69. He moved away, so don't what he got next.

The ol girl cleaned up nicely ! runs like a top . Got to get that leak fixed tho , that would drive me nutz !!!

Love those land yachts! Sad that Oldsmobile is gone, but we have the legacy of their great cars to enjoy. Great job getting this Ninety-Eight back on the road!! Thanks for sharing.....and thanks for the beautiful scenic ride. The Pacific Northwest gets a bad rap for always being raining and foggy, but it is a beautiful part of the country.

I am a Old's owner also. 1964 F85 Cutlass 2dr post sedan. 425ci BB coming your way. Enjoy the Cruise. Thank You for the Scenic tour. West Coast style.

This car brings back memories of my childhood my great auntie had this same car with hard top black roof and black interior I learned how to drive with this car RIP 🙏 Auntie man brings me to tears 😢 just watching this

What an awesome car and an awesome ride ooooh yeah 😁😁👍👍

Thanks for getting another one back on the road..my dad owned one 4 dr luxury sedan . Was a nice car and I drove it a lot

Wow! Great video, great car,great ride up the coast was awesome! Thankyou!

Thank you for the ride I enjoyed it

I just love to see these old cars get rescued

Great video .Loved driving my dads 70 Olds Delta 88 /455, in my youth. Looking forward to your next video ,All the best!

Good job. You have a great attitude and quick with a laugh or smile. Thank you.

Thank you for the ride with you in this superb car, see you next video, take care of you, see you soon.

Brother had a 69 Delta Custom 2 dr.....for a large car, had a sporty look, and MAN, would it GO! Great find

Your videos are the best. Very much enjoy watching them, really like the big old cars.

Another most excellent rescue and restore,,,your rubbing it in with that super weather as well , 👍😂more please…

I glad to see you are back posting regularly. You are one of my favorite people to watch.

A great ride down the beautiful Oregon coast hiway I've been down that road many times, Thanks for taking us along. Also I love seeing old Oldsmobiles being rebuilt like you've done. I am also a fan of the nameplate and Olds owner for sixty years.

Great video. I recently bought a 1970 Olds 98 Convertible. Barn find. Been parked since 1981. Going through this same adventure.

She's turning into a real beauty

I owned a four-door hardtop version of this car. Loved it.

Ninety eight cleaned up nice, I grew up driving land yachts being 6' 3" only cars I fit comfortably in.

I luv these cars

Nice video. I had a '74 Riviera with the 455 and that torque monster purred as it ate hills at 1500 RPM. I like seeing these old cruisers being rescued. The Oregon coast is stunning. It's been a long time since I've been there, but this brought back some vivid memories of those hills meeting the ocean.

Great save good seeing another one back on the road . Cheers mate 🇦🇺

I always thought the 98's and 88's had beautifully styled dashboards. Those cars road great and were fine cars.

what a great original car that interior will come up lovely needs to be stripped out to give it the clean it rightly deserves. good luck from the UK

What a “Spiffy” looking vehicle! One more vehicle saved from the smelter!

Beautiful car bet she was a looker in her Prime

Nice job funny also ..thought your cruise was go over Bourne bridge to the Cape but still very cool..way to go tnx

Glad to see this old girl smiling again. State-of-the art video. La renaissance d'une glorieuse épopée qui nous a laissé tant de preuves de son autorité en matière de style par la remise en route de cette auto fabuleuse est un plaisir d'autant plus vif qu'il est soutenu par la production d'une vidéo très expertement conçue & réalisée. Sans hésiter je mets un pouce d'or levé en attendant la prochaine étape du retour à la vie de ce bijou.

Hi Chris! Yet another old classic taken from crusty to cruising. I enjoyed watching the process and picked up a tip or two as well. I hope we see this Olds in the future.

Damn! Nice find. I had a ‘70 Delta 88 convertible, with a top that matched the pint. Those old tanks run forever,. I have a ‘75 Delta 88 in my driveway, it’s been my summer car for 23 years

That was a fantastic video and that car is really a gem thank you also for the beautiful peaceful drive you took. Loved this video!

The old USS Swede seems to be doing well. Great video and thanks for sharing 😊

Nowport, Oregon. Beautiful Drive.

I think your 98 is awesome. All of the GM full size from 66-69:were beautiful, and floated down the hiway. We had a 68 Bonneville with a 455 4 bbl and dual exhaust had 150,000 miles in 3 years and my brother and I beat that engine and tranny up!

That is a gorgeous car. You scored man. It needs some love, but that thing ran great once you got it going. It wanted to live. Keep going with it. I would love to watch you bring it back to where it could be.

455 Baby ! and the real deal before they lost their compression ratio

One more comment: I like the way you edited this very much. When you cut away from the task at hand then come back with the completed task if you know what I'm saying - great. Things get really boring when other show a complete blow-by-blow of every single little thing. This is great 👍

Another beautiful car and a great video!

I had one like that when i was in the service,but my sister needed a car to go to college so i gave it to her.But she sold it to her boyfriend,I got mad with her for doing that.I loved that car.

Oh man, did you ever bring back some great memories with this video! I owned a 1970 Olds 98 Convertible with every single option available on the car. My interior was white leather with black trim and carpet and a dark blue metallic paint outside. I bought it for $400 dollars in 1980, fixed all of the little stuff that was wrong with it (seat rips, dead AC and cruise control, trim pieces, etc) and i had it repainted in the original color (Earl Scheib for $129). I drove it for a year and then I sold it for $4800 when I moved to Spain. Of all the cars I've owned (about 35) this is the one I want back the most. Smooth 455 engine and tranny, excellent ride, and that wonderful convertible top that I always had down since I live in Arizona and we have great top down riding weather out here most of the year. Yours is in rough shape, but well worth the effort to fully restore it and to drive and enjoy it as much as you can. These beasts really suck down the gas though, so maybe not too much driving lolol. Excellent car to save buddy, and thank you for the trip down memory lane for me. Oh, about your dash lights....pull the front facia panel that covers the speedometer and everything in front of the steering wheel. Tighten down all of the screws behind the panel as they come loose and the for whatever reason the screws help make a solid connection to the ground (I think...). Mine did that at first until I did what I just told you to do, and suddenly everything electrical inside the dash suddenly worked flawlessly! It's worth a shot. Also, check the hydraulic hoses for the pump for the convertible top as they like to work themselves loose and spray oil everywhere.

I dig your work, Chris. The New Yorker really turned out sweet; but this Olds is my favorite so far, and what brought me to the channel. Because I had a sedan version years ago (Palomino Gold). This brought back such memories; the sound of the 455 cranking, the tired QuadraJet, the little window in the distributor cap to set the points to perfection. I am stunned by the great condition of this one; the condition of the body and the mechanical soundness of this car sitting in the elements for 26 years is better than the heap I got stuck with in 1990 (first car). My dad bought it from his work after it was surrendered to pay a bill. He won an auction with the only bid of $139. Gee, thanks, Pop! 🙄

Car is a perfect example for a total frame off restoration. She would be a beautiful car once done.

Thanks for the ride Swede. Unreal transformation on this American beauty, Nice work.......I thought you never get this thing running right after she exited that dead pussycat out of the exhaust. LOL....🐈‍⬛

Damn nice 98. Top is in decent shape.

Nice car! My buddy had a hard top same color

Great job . Nice ride. It cleaned up nice

I had a 1968 with the 455 four barrel carburetor. Great car but 8 mpg, I couldn’t afford the gas and that was when a gallon was $1.68

That car is sure better than the new ones plus it is mighty strong 💪 👏 🙌 😉 👌

What a beautiful car

You have a mastery of grounds, switches, hotwires and test lights. I am impressed!

Wow! I really enjoyed seeing this Oldsmobile getting revived and the drive looks awesome! I need to travel to Washington, Oregon and upper California.

Awesome land yacht revival video by the Swede. Great camera work, great editing. 😊

Great video and great car. Hopefully, we'll see another video on this Olds?

I have the 1970 98 ragtop!! I love these cars . I need to make video and post !!! Thx for an awesome video!!!!

Nice,,for a two door with skirts,,looking sharp,,White is the preferably for old classic

I bought a '69 98 2 door used in '73. Loved that car. I was in college and that boat could hold a ton of people and luggage. Of course in the summer running AC the mileage was horrendous around town - 10 mpg if I was lucky. Luckily gas was only about 40 cents/gal so it didn't hurt too badly. Gold with a white vinyl top and black vinyl interior. The AM/FM radio had the "Wonder Bar" where it would auto seek for stations. Loved it.

Mr clean magic eraser for the steering wheel.

Nice car .Paradise USA,sign Winnipeg,ca.

Cant beat the Oregon coast. I live in Oregon and love the scenic drives. You chose a nice day for that coastal route! Another great route is HWY 22 Eastbound. Probably snowing east of Lyons/Detroit area this time of year, but beautiful driving. Would cruise my 78 Cordoba up by Mt. Jefferson to Bend. Those roads are twisty but sooo fun!! Tons of old logging roads out there too if you have a 4x4. Took my Blazer out there and found some great trails near the Sea of Lava, lava beds outside of idanha/Sisters. It's other worldly out there. Looks like the moon with all the lava rocks and volcanos in the skyline!! Then about an hour east you hit the desert.. those roads are incredible. Love the potential! Hope to see more on this Olds!

Great video, love that car! Good presentation without alot of Bs talk or opinions... looking forward to another

If they want better steering & handling Don't listen to the "needs front coil springs" What it needs is Lower control arm bushings. I drove a 65 Olds 88 for 33 years 300,000 miles replaced the bushings 10,000 miles before I sold it I wished I'd done it when I bought it from my grandfather in the 80s. That car never broke down, not once from 1980 to 2001.

Thanks for another great video. Be sure to watch your hat on those bridges, My son and I cruise through there on my motorcycle on our way to Washington. I believe it was on that first bridge that we saw a gull drop down and steal the hat off of some guy riding his bicycle. Luckily for him the gull dropped it a short time later in the middle of the road. Also, very cool to see someone full field a regulator. Back in the day in the Sears Auto Center I had to do that on the regular.

this is a nice one, it came out great

Sad that someone left it to rot. Great save! Top of the line in 69!

That is the deluxe interior, great color combo.. funny how these young guys are amazed by the large brake and gas pedals. All our Oldsmobiles had them,My Dad didn't buy a 69 because he hated the small side marker light in the front..He bought a 70 98 convertible... same white and blue. It was a great car. I miss the sound of an Oldsmobile engine 455 V8 Rocket engine,,,,

Good job and great video 👍😎

Love the content, car is solid

Pretty Awesome video, friend!! Watched the whole thing and loved it! I used to do some of my own smaller jobs, mostly out of necessity as a young guy and I used to love trolling the Parts Yards.. Always dreamed of being able to revive some old Classics like you do!!

Now here is a Automobile that starts with authority!

The old GM key in the ignition door open buzzer. Sounds just like my Buick.

Oil your conv. top hinge points. Also use baby oil on all plastic and vinyl, the whole interior is made from oil base products, so put the oil back in it. Soak it really good with many heavy coats till it becomes soft and pliable again!!!! It will stop your seats from cracking. Also use super clean for first cleaning, caution, it's extremely strong but it REALLY cleans unbelievable!!

Great drive in a great find of a great car! Our family had a 1970 Buick Le Sabre 4 dr sedan, and then a 1974 Electra 225 4 dr. The difference between the two was surprising... the Le Sabre, for a large car, felt pretty nimble and the ride was decent. The Electra on the other hand had a great ride... not too floaty and quite sure-footed. It probably helped that it had a set of Michelin radials on it. It was a great car for the drive-in!

Another great video

Unbelievable!!!

Great vid mate, thanks for posting

Amazing and very cool!

My grandpa had one of these back in the 1980's his had the AM/FM Mono /8 track under the dash option as well

That's a good lookin old ride, I'd suggest some body work as well.

cheers for the content

that was great

You shouldn't put Teflon tape on the temperature sender, it will insulate the unit and not give accurate readings. The threads are tapered so it will not leak if installed properly. Great save by the way, just found your channel.

love those old olds they are superior to the new ones in handling and quietness.

Had a 69 Delta 88 hardtop with the 455 engine when I was a teenager in the 1980's. As a stupid teenager, I beat that car to death and eventually wrecked it. Wish I still had that car today.

Mine was only 2 years old when i had it,it got really good fuel mileage.Them 455 s we're good engines.

What a find!

That's not just a convertible, that's a boat! Great job cleaning her up, especially the interior. Runs good, too. Oh, take her to Midas to fix that exhaust leak.
