1950 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 4 Door Sedan
Original black plate California car. I believe the 1949/50 Oldsmobile was the introduction of the "muscle car". Smooth running original V8 engine with automatic transmission. Runs and drives straight with good brakes. Currently insured and licensed. All lights work, nice stainless trim, shinny chrome with several pieces pitted but all there. Full set of hubcaps and beauty rims. Wide whitewall tires with great tread but old and should be replaced for highway driving.
The car is mostly original and headliner has a few holes and front of front door panels are pretty bad. ( but chrome and original pattern is there). Front seat is worn, especially on drivers side. Right rear fender has been repaired by previous owner. (dent not rust). Car appears pretty solid. I removed seats and installed a new carpet set (Oldsmobile). Floor area on inside was solid but showed previous repair in back area. Trunks and spare tire area is solid with no rust. Quarter panels, doors and fenders show no rust or repairs. All doors and windows work fine.
I was going to paint the car but got too many opinions on the color. Sure as ....I'd pick the wrong color-----You choose. I have the car reserved at a reasonable low end to allow the buyer great room for paint and upholstery and miscellaneous stuff. I have 13 cars in my collection and due to my age I need to cut back on a few projects. Car is sold as is and buyer to pay all transportation. $500.00 non refundable deposit within 24 hours with balance due within 7 days
Questions call Bill @ 707 888-9757 Have clean California title. If car sells outside California I'd like to keep the California plates

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant
Wed, 18 Jun 2014If you have a need to relive the 1970s, then here is the vehicle for you. This groovy blast from the past is a 1976 GMC Motorhome currently for auction in Florida on eBay Motors, and it is one green machine - just not in the modern sense.
The seller claims that this beast has had just two owners and has covered a mere 61,308 miles in its decades on the road. It's reportedly never been restored or repainted and comes with all of the necessary books and manuals. A 7.5-liter (455-cubic-inch) Oldsmobile V8 with a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission powering the front wheels propels this far-out RV, and the double set of rear wheels out back use a self-leveling air suspension to provide a cushy ride.
The purported low miles and good condition really make this GMC a stand out, though. The exterior combination of lime stripes and beige with just a touch of green is like nothing else on the road today. Plus, the polished bumpers and wheels make it all pop. Inside, it's even better with monochromatic green upholstery and shag carpet. It features everything you'd ever need on a long trip, including a bathroom, kitchenette and lots of seating. The only hint of modernization is an HD TV next to the stove, but its size is a perfect fit for the hole there.
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.
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.
