- Hey Oldsmobile fans! Here we have a very rare find. This is a One Owner 1972 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight LS (Luxury Series) 2 Door Hardtop 455 with only 44,000 Original Miles. It is in excellent condition both body wise and mechanically. No rust, no scratches, and no damage of any kind. It is ready to take to shows! If you were to take this car and have it run through a Barrett Jackson Auction, it would fit right in. And it might even stand out!

I know this exact car. Originally it did have a vinyl top which was removed when the car had a quality repaint. Fond memories of this 98. Nice to see this video. Thanks for keeping it posted.
Nice car, this was the last year before they started putting in Smog pumps, EGR valves and 5mph bumpers which took a bite out of performance and drivability, if I were to own a Oldsmobile Ninety Eight of this vintage it has to be a 1971/72 model year.
I LOVED this car as an 11-year old. Really wanted my Dad to get one. But he bought a 1972 Plymouth Suburban wagon instead.
My brother came across one and I smog checked it. Points, set dwell & chk- timing . One owner, ran as clean as a new car emissions wise. Torque monster, quiet.
Lovely car, great color for that body style and the lack of a vinyl top is a unique plus.
No power locks, no tilt, odd the way people ordered cars back then.
We(our family( I was 19) had one exactly like this one, color and all except ours had a light gold vinyl top, basically the same color as the light tan interior. My dad bought it new in the fall of 1970. It was so beautiful. So large, powerful and absolutely gorgeous!
If your dad got the car new in the fall of 1970, then it couldn't be an "exact" car like the one mentioned in this video. Yours would've been a 1971 model which had a few differences between it and the '72 model shown here.
Beautiful..this is what I coined the Renaissance pulchra otemobile era 1962-1972..the most beautiful cars ever built in the automobile history during this time frame.
Love the car beautiful condition love to have one one day in nice shape low miles nice interior Mark Shelton keep up the good work
One of my favorite Oldsmobiles. Class act with power. My friend used to pick me up in his mom's similar Olds. No doubt she had to replace the rear tires from all the burnouts we did 😆
My Dad had a brown 72 when i was a kid. I am still fascinated by this car!
Imagine that station wagon based off this car. My parents once bought a 1972 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser. It was huge! Great car and glad to see someone posting videos of these survivor classics. Thanks 👍
Yes, those station wagons were huge. We had a '75 Chevrolet Caprice Estate wagon. It was a great car.
Absolutely love these old 98’s.
beautiful 98! gorgeous color!
the horn sounds like a train fits perfectly!
These cars actually handled well for the size.
I could never get over the fact that they made cars this long that only had two doors, but that was the style back then.....
Our 75 year anniversary. Over 40 years at Lansing Michigan USA 🇺🇸 Oldsmobile plant. Very proud of this model. We made a 98 in a special Edition that year as well. Thank you. Ps. This model was one step below the special edition Tiffany. 👍
I'm looking for that Tiffany & Co edition! Please let me know if anyone knows of a seller! Thanks!
Check out my 72 olds 98 Luxury Coupe....it was built there too....I have the original receipts!!!
24rickdizzle I'm currently selling a Luxury series Coupe (72) if interested
My grandfather owned 2 Oldsmobiles a 1969 Delta 88 4 door purchased new and a 1973 Vista Cruiser wagon also purchased brand new his two favorite cars out of all the cars he owned he always liked these Oldsmobiles.
Omg I want a 69-76 olds 98. Soo bad
Brings back old memories,crazy story in 1976 a gives my father a 72 olds 98, steel gray body and black vinyl top and black cloth interior, the guy bought the car for his girlfriend in 1972, when he caught her cheating on him he took the car back in 73, it sat in a garage in toledo ohio for 3 years and only had 16,000 miles, what a monster, a high performance luxury car.
My father only bought Oldsmobile all his life except for his first car which was a chevy in the late 40s after returning from ww2. It was an old used Chevy so not sure of the year. When I was a tot in the late 50's and early 60s we had a Classic 55' Rocket 88 2 door. He bought that used as a 2 year old car. I actually came home from the hospital in his 52' Olds 88. I have seen pictures of it but don't remember it, my older brother seem to remember it well. I knew the 55' was a classic before it was a classic. After the axle spline broke, he got a 62' Olds 98. That was a big jump in luxury from the 55'. As the 62' we had A/C, push button windows, a wonder bar radio tuner, seat belts and what I thought was cool was a push button trunk release from the interior. His last Olds was an 86' 98. He died about 1 year before Oldsmobile did.
pretty much the last of the nice Olds 98's from the 70's
Really nice to see someone local doing car reviews! Wasn't expecting to see the video in my subdivision, haha. I think I could see my house from there. Great job by the way, subscribed for sure.
First car I ever steered was the 74 Delta 88 and learned on. Age 6 my dads lap then 11 by myself with the help of a pillow lol.
Before the days of wearing a seat belt or if you are like me, dad was buckled up and had his arms around my chest. Safety first.
Hopefully at 11 on your pillow you were buckled up.
Glorious car.
For sure!
@@Eliyourcarguyl know where this exact glorious machine is today.
By the way, originally it had a vinyl top which was removed when the car had a high quality repaint.
It was a magnificent 98.
Great video, please keep this online, we have nice memories of this car.
Beautiful classic!!!!
Indeed!
A work of art.
My dad had a 72 Delta 88. Beautiful car.
Amazing C pillars and tailfins !!!!
A new drinking game .
Every time he says Chrome take a shot!
We’d all be dead lol 3 minutes in I’ve heard the word “chrome” 30 times
That's in great shape!
I'm surprised it doesn't have a Vinyl Roof. Good seeing that some of the Olds 98s are like that.
We had a 71 Delta 88 and soon after my neighbor purchased a 72 98. We had issues with the body mounts on the 71. I did get to drive that 72, neighbors wanted it polished. I needed to take it to a hand car wash. In the see what it can do, had it up to 115 mph. Nice machine.
Awesome video dude, loved it! Thanks for making it :)
This thing is in great condition for how old it is! Nice video!
It sure is! Thanks for watching!
Awesome car
That was such a pretty car. One point of issue on the LS badge. It is not on "the door" it is on the C pillar. Still, it was a nice video reminding me of what cars used to be; big and comfortable.
That is a beautiful car I had a 72 4 door 88
Gorgeous!
As many times he said chrome I would like him to present a car from the 1950s he would have a melt down for sure !
Exactly.... A " Chrome" meltdown..!!!!
Power seat controls in the door ? Excellent idea. Don't think I have seen that before. I have never had a ride in an Olds of this era, but it looks pretty groovy..AND Almost has tail fins ! Love the Gold; it's so 1970's, it almost looks like a custom job, tho I know it isn't. Super Cool baby.
72 Olds 98. Huge car by today's standards. This car is a beautiful survivor car. 1976 was the final year for the really large GM cars all all its division. The 1977 models were several hundred lbs. lighter but a more reasonable size. By the mid 1980's another downsizing occurred to the once large GM cars. This downsizing to a front wheel drive unibody platform with a 3.8 litre V6 being the only the available engine in the Buick Electra/ Park Avenue and the Olds 98 Regency. GM gave Olds and Pontiac several years ago. Buick sells a completely different line of cars now with mostly different nameplates. But we a reason intelligent must accept change as a part of life and we can't bring back to cars we loved years ago.
Nice car!
Damn that's beautiful. I'll buy it in a minute.
In 1979, I was 19 years old I had a 1972 Oldsmobile 98 with 455 engine 4 barrel 2 Door color was Silver Hardtop in black inside was vinyl interior seats in black power seats power windows power lock power trunk 8 track tape player AM & FM Radio power steering power brakes. I remember putting $10.00 gas in my car I would get 16 Gallons of gas. Thank You for posting.
You're welcome! Times sure have changed! I am glad my video could bring back memories and glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome ride. If it came with a rear view mirror 6:04 and a fuel gauge needle 3:41 it would be near perfect.
that is the optional 3 note horn, my 96 cadillac had it
Nice!
Thanks!
i like oldsmobile
damn nice ride
this Car VS 1972 Buick Electra 225.. who wins?
I'm partial to the deuce and a quarter. My dad was a Buick loyalist from mid 60s.
Only one 2 doors too. Nice.
Beautiful car! One correction: all that body trim is not chrome; it is stainless steel. Chrome is, and was, quite expensive.
I miss the old cars basic shit hust pull a knob and the lights come on ,good old ashtray and light front and back..
I too miss the ashtrays and lighters.
massive!
all this chrome you talk about is standard
Looking for info on the 455 super rocket. My grandfather ordered one in 1972 from the factory in a station wagon to pull his camp trailer. Any help?
Hey if you can find the 72 regency 75th anniv. Tiffany edition please ket me know and Ill buy it Cash. Thank You
Your alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I fell into a channel coma for a little while, but I'm back now! Expect videos to be on more of a regular basis starting August. Glad you're still watching man!
Know the feeling bud. Okie dokie!
And always!
Power outlet is right--no lighting ciggies in my flagship ride!
My father had one from this line, but his was the four-door sedan. Blue with a black vinyl roof. It's what I took my driver's license test on! These were the epitome of land yachts.
Btw, what is the persistent clicking in the background? At first it was merely distracting, but it became annoying.
Nice ride, interior isn't really leather and the wood grain is plastic plus the steering wheel isn't wrapped around with leather.
I've owned several of them and I haven't had one with real leather or wood grain in any of them because they didn't put those item's in those car's and I guess he didn't know it has a built-in 8-track tape player in the radio.
You're lucky!!!
It's a 72! It has cigarette lighters - not power outlets. What were we to power with them in 72? Tire did not come in metric sizes in 72.
J78-15.
Mines not a Tiffany edition but was ordered from the factory with every single extra option available in 72 (more than a Tiffany!) better shape than this! :-P
IS THIS 98 COUPE STILL AVAILABLE?
J'en ai eu une , meme couleur, des souvenirs extraordinaires,
COOL One Owner 1972 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight LS 2 Door Hardtop 455 Start Up, Tour, Review and Drive By
Very nice car !! The interior material is likely vinyl and cloth...Don't think you could get leather in these cars
It's always struck me funny, how an original purchaser would have sprung for a loaded 98, an Electra, or a Coupe DeVille... And would skip/skimp on things like a tilt column, AM/FM, trunk release, and so on...
I guess omitting those $25- $125 items would take your car note down a whole 10 or 20 dollars a month.... Things were so different back then, huh?
I had an Aunt that would NEVER own or even ride in a car with power window.... Why? Because she was convinced that IF the car were to run into a lake, everyone inside would surely die.... And as funny as that sounds, apparently many people thought similarly back then.
Of course, there are morons nowadays that drive into the water because of not paying attention, say texting, and actually die because they can't unlock their doors (manually, because they don't know HOW).
I guess it's still a strange World.
One Question ?
What Happened To The Rear View Mirror That Was Supposed To Be installed On The Passenger Door ?
It wasn't mandatory, wasn't required from feds to meet safety certification, pass side mirror was considered an option or placed on a higher trim level, late 70s before the feds made passengers mirrors mandatory
I had one of these in my college years. It was not really an affordable car to drive for a college student, it was during the jimmy carter years when gas prices were high for that era. Fuel mileage on them (mine was a 4 door huge boat) was 12-13 mpg no matter how you drove it. It had tons of power so that was not at all an issue with a 455 4bbrl carb. If I was able to draft behind a semi I got a little better mileage but these were not built for fuel economy and they weighed a lot. They were NOT the best looking car either. I think the 76 version was the best looking of that era and was the final year for the 455 Rocket engine.
I doubt that's the original spare as the car would have come with bias ply tires.
Not necessarily glass belted were an option by then
Had one just like this one. I raced the he'll outage that 455 rocket. Traded it for a citation x-11......wtf.....
A slight difference...
Is this yours???
Do you still have this oldsmobile or no
Is this car still available??
I'm curious... How'd you find this one?
An elderly gentleman was liquidating his collection of classic cars. He got to the point where he just couldn't keep up with maintaining all of them. He had about a dozen or more classics, and this was one of them!
Are you going to be able to film any more of them? Did you purchase this one?
My father purchased this one. Sadly this is the only one that will be on the channel. :(
I wish I would've have the chance to film more of them!
duel pipes. 2inch white walls. 5 spoke buick rims that was me. memorys. dats a highway star,,
what is your asking price
Hello!
How can I contact you? There are a few questions about the 1972 Oldsmobile 98.
Thank you in advance!
Is this 98 Olds for sale?
Love old big cars. Especially olds. That clicking sound is annoying however.
Why does the transmission indicator have an S on it? They didn’t really mean “Sport” did they?
S was for "second" it was a 3 speed transmission
It stood for Super.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q You sir, are correct. Super on Olds transmissions goes back to the days of hydra- matics. Important GM history.
Did you forget to mention 75th annivesary Tiffany?
I got a Tiffany. Dad bought it new in 72. $6,900.00 window sticker.
Richard Dennler I think that this might be a Tiffany, I’ve never seen a key like that, maybe a Tiffany thing? Anyway, very nice car! I’d drive it across the country in a minute.
Mr. Baker! If you ever think about selling your Tiffany & Co edition, please let me know. Thanks!
So is this car for sell or what?
😃land yatcht.
For sale?
How much?
98 coupes are probably rarer than Toronados
I have an all white one in the same shape!!! Check it out!
Still available ?
Already sold!
what was the selling price?
Thank you, wanting to estimate cost of a car like this
$400
how much for the car oldsmobile
Always amazes me how a car can be loaded top of the line and a passenger side rearview mirror is not ordered
Yep. Agree. Especially a car of this size.
Plus plenty of lights in the inside,i real horn that scare the shit out of you lol,and you will here it from st.louis too texas lol😂😂😂
It's a tifeny regency olds nintyeigt
It's only cloth & vinyl ....NOT leather
Your Camera does no Justice for this video...Too wavy and the clicking sound is just hummmm I don't know...Cheap camera.
Too bad it's not a Regency.
Didn't the Regency come out in 1973
eats prius's---poops smart cars....
Power outlet? You’re showing your age, millennial
All i see is a lowrider
Why isn't America making something like that? Hey Americans, please tell me why? GM has no rwd sedans anymore. Does the woke culture have anything to do with that?
