Welcome to Project GEZROKET!

Welcome to Project GEZROKET!

As I'm making plans and working on upgrading the GEZROKET, I've decided to move the posts documenting what I'm doing/have done to the car to its own Blog.  I've moved the existing posts to GEZROKET.blogspot.com and hope to get on with regular posts about turning the car into a modern Grand Touring Car.

It shouldn't be too hard, as Oldsmobile made it's own "Touring Sedan" models from the late 1980s into 1993 on both its Eighty-Eight and Ninety-Eight cars and chassis. These had the excellent FE3 Suspension, with higher rate coil springs on all 4 corners and larger diameter front and rear anti-sway bars.

Here's a 1991 Motorweek episode featuring the sister car, a 1991 Oldsmobile Touring Sedan.

Mine, being a Regency Elite II, luxury sedan is a little different.  First, it's White, with the Regency Elite Chrome Grille.  Second, it has an Adriatic Blue Leather Bench Seat Interior with a Digital Dash Cluster.   Finally, it came with 15" Alloy Wheels and the Comfort Ride FE1 suspension.

In its "As Purchased Condition,"  the GEZROKET, a 1996 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight with 15" Factory Alloy Wheels.  The rear spoiler looks to be from an Olds Toronado TrofĂ©o Sport Coupe.  Mrs Blaney had her son, R. Blaney, install it on the car.

So stop by frequently, as I continue the journey to make this big luxury car a pleasure to drive.
