1987 Olds 98.
Inherited from my Late Grandfather.
First Gen FWD C Body,Buick 3.8l v6, with a massive 150hp.
don't know how fast it would go, as the speedo topped out @85mph, but i had it buried regularly.
the only speeding tickets i've ever gotten were in that car...(within 6 mos of each other, I was 19yrs old..)
in the few years i had it it was basically rebuilt.(well over 10 grand put into it).
1)It got stolen, when recovered, had to replace the lower half of the dash, stereo, and the steering column.
2)Timing belt broke, had to put a reman engine in. ($2500 of Dad's $$)
3)few moths later, (with a little youthful college parking lot hooning) popped the primary drive band in the trans, rebuilt at local trans shop. (another $1500 of Dad's $$)
4)about 6 months later, took it to get new tires, the tire shop essentially totals the car. while pulling into the bay, he somehow slammed it head on into the corner of the brick column between the doors. cracking the Rad, and of course bending the subframe and unibody. they of course paid for all the repairs at the shop of my choice.(I got the tries, but don't recall if i paid for them or not...) (The only thing i can think of, is that since the car had a second gas pedal on the left(grandpa's right leg had been amputated) the tire monkey must have thought it was a clutch??? )
about a year later, I sold it and bought my Y2k Sonata.
the engine/trans/ and bodywork ahead of the A pillar had Less than 20k mi on them. but things were nickel and diming me to death. one window didn't work, the others were geriatrically slow, a/c was going out, rear air struts needed replaced, the windshield always leaked right over the drivers seat, etc.
oh yeah, at some point in there I also had the front struts replaced, and new brakes /lines all around (another $900 of Dad's $$)
Lots of work and money into it, but it was still only a $2k car... even though it sounds like a bit of a heap, I maintain he got a [censored] of a deal, part of me would like to try to track that car back down, but.. 17yrs later? probably in the great junkyard in the sky by now....
