Buy it up, I'll drive it out to you.

Any guesses on the fuel economy? I speculate something like a 116 SD, mid 20s...

That is a nice 98.  I think the seller is wrong about the transmission.
  One of the technicians at the Olds dealership I worked at had two of
 these. He kept two spare injection pumps around.  He swore that they
 had no head gasket/head problems if you changed the coolant often and
 replaced the intake gasket every 30,000 miles.

I did have a 1981 Olds 98. It was stolen in Atlanta and the police
 found it a few days later. They broke the steering column and started the
 car with a spoon (they left the spoon in the car and the cop showed me
 how it worked).  I was in college and didn't have the money to fix the
 column, so I started it with a spoon for almost three years - until I
 ran into a fire hydrant and totaled the car.

P.S. you know how fire hydrants always break off in movies or TV? Well,
 I can tell you they do not break off in real life. They have a big ole
 steel support pipe that can easily take out a 1981 Oldsmobile 98.
