Selling for a friend, this low miles '98 Olds Aurora is in excellent condition, recent service, everything works to my knowledge. A fantastic driving car with lots of go and decent mileage figures to boot. Luxurious leather interior, seats five, is loaded. The leather seats are immaculate, carpeting, headliner, door panels, glass, all in the condition you would expect from a car that has been well taken care of, photos show condition! Matching set of Toyo tires approx 80% rubber left with factory chrome wheels (which need polishing out). All aluminum DOHC 32 valve 4.0 litre V8 with a 4 spd automatic trans with O/D. This Olds is rated at 17 city/26 hwy mpg. A little bit about the engine in this car, it is truly a remarkable engineering achievement by Oldsmobile, the car responsible for the incredible "Rocket 88" back in 1949. This was the engine of choice for the IRL and IMSA with many championships to show for it: Las Vegas, Nev.; September 14, 1996 -- Oldsmobile unveiled its new Indy Aurora V8 today in the first public showing of the engine that will compete in the 1997 Indy Racing League series. The new methanol-burning Indy Aurora V8 is based on the production 4.0-liter, 32-valve DOHC Aurora V8 which is available exclusively in Oldsmobile's flagship luxury performance sedan. "On January 4 we announced that Oldsmobile would celebrate its 100th birthday by competing in the 1997 Indianapolis 500," said Oldsmobile General Manager John Rock in a press conference at the MGM Grand Hotel. "Some people said we couldn't do it. But just 254 days after that announcement, the Indy Aurora V8 is ready for testing! "The Indy Aurora V8 has a great pedigree," Rock noted. "The IMSA version of the Motorsport Aurora V8 was the first American engine in 30 years to sweep the Daytona and Sebring endurance races. Oldsmobile has already clinched the GTS Drivers and Manufacturers Championships for the second straight year, and we're leading the World Sports Car championship with one race to go. We intend to continue the Aurora V8's success next year in the Indy Racing League." The IRL version of the Motorsport Aurora V8 will make its competition debut at the Indy Racing League event in Orlando, Fla., on January 25, 1997. This will be the first race contested under the Indy Racing League's new 4.0-liter naturally aspirated engine formula. The choice of this engine demonstrates the reliability and the performance that these teams were looking for, were met with the Olds Aurora engine, to me this is quite impressive!
