AutoHunter Spotlight: 27K-Mile 1973 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight

Featured on AutoHunter.com, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this 1973 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight sedan. 

It reportedly has 27,000 original miles and is powered by the reportedly original 455ci V8, which is connected to a three-speed automatic transmission. Features include removable rear wheel skirts, cruise control, power steering, air conditioning, an AM radio, and power front disc brakes. Finished in light green and equipped with a green vinyl top over a green vinyl interior, this Oldsmobile comes with a clear title in the seller’s name. 

The light green exterior is capped off with a green vinyl top and equipped with dual side mirrors, rocker and wheel opening moldings, and removable rear wheel skirts. According to the seller, there are minor paint chips on the fender flares, slight damage on the passenger side of the trunk, and minor scratches on the driver-side quarter panel near the taillight. 

This Oldsmobile rides on a set of 15-inch steel wheels that come equipped with wire covers and whitewall radial tires.  

Inside, the seats are covered in green vinyl. Features include manual windows, power steering, a custom steering wheel, air conditioning, cruise control, and an AM radio.  

Vehicle information is displayed on a 120-mph speedometer and a fuel gauge. The odometer shows 27,000 miles, which the seller reports to be accurate. 

Under the hood is the reportedly original 455ci V8, which breathes through a four-barrel carburetor and sends its output through a three-speed automatic transmission. New parts include the air filter, spark plugs, and fan belts. The seller reports the oil, transmission fluid, and the associated filters were changed recently. 

Suspension underpinnings consist of an independent front setup and a solid rear axle. Power front disc and rear drum brakes help bring this Oldsmobile four-door to a stop.
