Californians might not have to deal with rust to the extent we in the Northeast do, but they typically encounter other problems with older cars: worn-out high-mileage drivetrains, sun-faded paint, heat-baked interiors. This 69,000-mile 1970 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight two-door hardtop for sale on Hemmings.com, though, shows little of those maladies thanks to a recent reupholster, repaint, and redo of the vinyl top, that all look convincingly well done from the photos. From the seller’s description:
455 Rocket engine, 4 barrel, stock engine runs great and fires on all cylinders. No problems with engine. TH400 Transmission, works great and shifts very well. No Problems with Transmission.
