Question

Accepted Answer

For a 1968 Oldsmobile 98, you're looking at a classic from the 8th generation (1965-1970). Based on our Classic.com market data, here's what these cars are worth:

**Current Market Values:**
- **Average sale price:** $22,667 across all body styles in this generation
- **Price range:** $18,500 to $25,000+ for comparable 1968-1969 convertibles in original condition
- **Current listings:** Range from around $18,000 to $37,000 depending on condition and specs

**For the specific car we're chatting about** (this teal 1968 convertible), it's currently listed for **$36,995** at Streetside Classics in Charlotte, NC. This is on the higher end, reflecting that it's a convertible in a desirable color with modifications.

**What affects value:**
- **Body style:** Convertibles command a significant premium over coupes
- **Condition:** Original & highly original cars are most sought-after (this one is modified)
- **Mileage:** Lower documented miles add value
- **Documentation:** Original paperwork and history help

The highest recorded sale for this generation was $175,000 for an exceptional 1970 model that was highly original with very low miles, so there's definitely upside potential for the right car!
