I must confess my irrational desire for early W body coupes

Those 90 Lesabre and similar Olds 2 door looked sharp, to bad those weren't the next gen GM RWD cars.

My little sister had a 93 Lumina Z34 with the 3.4 DOHC. I loved how the car looked an ran. I hated working on it.

When I had my Z34 the easiest way to work on it... are you ready for this??? Drop the engine out! Yes I did this with mine in about a hour and 15 minutes to do headgaskets and timing belt. Wasn’t bad working on it outside of the engine bay lol

The 3.1s were pretty economical on gas IIRC. The 3.4s and especially the 3.8s were hogs. I've never owned a 3.8L with the supercharger but I'd imagine the get pickup truck gas mileage.

The 3.1 and 3.4 cars had issues. I found the 2.8 quite reliable and good on gas, even carbed. The 3.8 was reliable and would get low 30's Imperial from what I heard. The 3.8 Ford got 28 mpg at best and popped head gaskets.

Probably doesn't apply, but y'all set me adrift on memory bliss. Had this in a 4 door 5 speed with a pop out sunroof. Straight exhaust and a big stereo; couldn't tell me shhhhhhh...ut yo mouf!

I haven't seen one of these in over 10 years probably, talk about the coupe in this thread and boom

When did Olds put keypad unlock door entry on those 98's? I saw a '92 or so 98 in a salvage yard with that ford style keypad unlock system and didn't know GM ever had it.

Yes, over the years I made a lot of money flipping GM cars with the roached / knocking 3100's. The 3100 was a good engine if you watched the intake gaskets...Once the milk shake was in the bottom end they were junk. GM revised intake gasket around 2003 so most of the 3400's didn't have the same failure rate.

I'm having a hard time not going after this one - wish it was closer.

Looks just like my Dad's old Regal, only his was red exterior. That was a nice car.
