1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais Rare Convertible Olds Hot Rod Street Rod Classic on 2040-cars
Macedonia, Ohio, United States
|
If you like a RARE classic, this Olds Cutlass Calais just might be the car for you. GM did not make convertibles back in 1983, but they DID send a very few out to select coach builders to convert to a convertible. Dealers were also allowed to use the GM selected coach builders in order to sell the Cutlass convertible as an option. Select coach builders had to be used so they did not compromise the structural integrity or warranty of the car. Texas Ragtops was one of such select coach builders used in the process, and this Olds has the Texas Ragtops badge affixed to the door jamb. Since the conversion process was quite expensive, there were not many conversions done, which is good news for the collector car owner today because of the rarity that affects the value of these cars. There is a stationary antenna in place, but a new poser antenna goes with the sale. There is also a built in CD/DVD unit in the dash, so you can listen to your favorite tunes or let the kids watch a movie while you drive. The paint is original and has lost it's shine, but it really appears that with a little buffing effort the shine might come back. The paint is certainly presentable as it is but would look nicer if polished. While not cheap, you may be surprised at the amount of reserve for this rare opportunity to own a very RARE convertible. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours of auction end with balance in full received within 7 days. Balance must be paid in cash or bank wire transfer to obtain immediate release of car or title. If you have less than 3 positive feedback call FIRST before bidding or your bid may be cancelled.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The folks behind Generation Gap have lost their minds with this latest video. The goal here is to determine the ultimate family cruiser, but the choices are what you would least expect, with a heavily modded 1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser going up against a 2012 Ferrari FF.
You might anticipate an over-40-year-old Oldsmobile to pale in comparison to any modern Ferrari, but this wagon has a ton of secrets under its skin thanks to Lingenfelter. First, it packs a supercharged LS3 V8 with a claimed 650 horsepower and a six-speed manual gearbox. That big upgrade in power is further helped with air suspension and massive Wilwood disc brakes. The result is nothing short of deafening, with blaring yelps whenever the driver even nudges the accelerator.
The alternative sounds just as good, albeit in very different way. The Ferrari's 6.3-liter V12 pumps out 651 hp and 504 pound-feet with a part-time all-wheel drive system. While the FF lacks a lot of the hauling ability of the Olds, it makes up for the deficit in handling, luxury, and in many eyes, simply by having the famous prancing horse on the grille.
This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]
Thu, 09 Oct 2014The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?
