what's a 1967 Oldsmobile 98 worth?

Question

Accepted Answer

Based on Classic.com's market data, here's what a 1967 Oldsmobile 98 is worth:

**Market Overview**
The 8th generation Oldsmobile 98 (1965-1970) has an average sale price of **$18,245** across 39 transactions. The range is wide—$3,500 to $42,900—with a strong 71% sell-through rate indicating healthy demand.

**1967 Comparables**
Looking at actual 1967 sales data:
- A convertible sold at Mecum Harrisburg (Jul 2024) for **$22,000**
- A convertible sold at Mecum Monterey (Aug 2024) for **$30,000**
- A convertible currently listed by Primo Classics for **$34,500**
- A 1966 coupe (beige/Black) was listed at **$16,995** (dealer price)

**The Specific Vehicle**
The 1967 Oldsmobile 98 Standard coupe listed at **$18,000** is priced right at the market average, but a few caveats apply:

**Positives:** Montana car in "highly original" condition, rear bumper already professionally replated, 425ci V8 engine, claimed 35K miles (though flagged as unverified)

**Needs work:** Heater core replacement, front bumper replating (~$800-1,200), front seat reupholstery (~$1,500-2,500). Figure **$2,500-3,500** in repairs.

**The Verdict:** At $18,000, this car is fairly priced for the market but you'll need to spend extra to get it fully sorted. You're buying at market average for a car that needs work. Comparable coupes are listing closer to $17K. If you can negotiate down to **$15,000-16,500** to account for repairs, it becomes a solid deal. Alternatively, ask the seller to address the heater core and bumper work before purchase.

**Value ranges:**
- Driver-quality coupe needing work: **$15,000-18,000**
- Nice original/soft restored coupe: **$20,000-25,000**
- Clean convertible: **$22,000-35,000**
