I’m going to look at a 1970 olds 98 Regency . I’m wanting it for the engine . Curious if there is a need for parts in this model ? It’s a convertible and looks pretty complete I would like to recoup some of what I spend buying this thing by selling off some parts . Anything I should be looking at in particular?

All 1970 Ninety Eights have front disc brakes, which fit the 65-70 full size cars. Also, if the car has dual exhaust, the driver side exhaust manifold would be sought after. And if the car has the 9.3" rear with decent gears and posi, that will also be good to sell.

If you have the space to keep it around a while run an ad here & on craigslist.
It would be a shame to just scrap it.
The later delta 88 parts sell I have parted 10 of them.
The tops and glass 71-75 are all the same on all the big gm convertibles and 71- 76 on Eldorado.
I would assume the same holds true for the earlier cars. So there's a few more uses for those parts.
Good luck I hope it all works out for you.

the car just happened to pop up in my area and the price was right so thought it would be nice to have that 70 455 as a spare motor.the ad is no longer up so not sure what happened to it.
