1982 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Brougham 307 V8 from North America
Summary:
Beastly
Faults:
To my knowledge the original carburetor went out.
The transmission clunks.
Had to replace the power window motors.
Car has been in family since day 1.
General Comments:
To be honest I haven't driven it much, I purchased the car from my father to restore/beef it up. I'm building an Olds 455 at the moment to swap in and add true dual exhaust. but from what I remember, when I did drive it after I first got my license 6 years ago, was the thing was an absolute blast to drive.
The thing is a classic and a tank. A woman rear ended me at ~30-40 mph and messed up her front bumper, and left a mere scratch on mine.
Overall, despite my limited experience with it (so far!), I'd say you can't touch the Olds.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

"I'm building an Olds 455 at the moment to swap in and add true dual exhaust."
- Excellent! The 455 will make the 307 seem like something out of the 1920s!
