Letart, West Virginia, United States
|
This 1956 Oldsmobile Super 88 Holiday 4 dr. hardtop is a nice solid car. Solid floors, pans and trunk (see pics). It has a correct 324 cu. in. engine, 4 bbl. carb., auto trans, power steering and brakes. Over $3000. spent on engine overhaul by machine shop. Bored .040 over, crank ground .010. Heads reworked for unleaded fuel. Work done right - no corners cut. All new components, water pump, belts, hoses and 4 bbl. carb. overhaul. Radiator boiled and cleaned. Fuel tank flushed and coated. Too much more to list. Bat wing air cleaner is still original. All front and rear bumper components have been rechromed and ready to install. Over $3000. spent! Fancy rear bumper is notched out for dual exhausts. Paint and body work complete. Base coat/ clear coat. Pics do not do justice. GM white has a pearl tint. Black has Prizmatic in paint which shows up different colors in the sun. Trim was removed and car was professionally painted by body shop (over $4000.) and looks awesome! Original headliner is in good condition and I have interior door panels for patterns. The original dash pad has no cracks. All stainless trim is in good condition. Two side window glasses are cracked and some of the potmetal has pitting which is common with cars of this age. All upholstery and carpeting need replaced. I have many extra parts along with the original factory owner and sales brochure. I also have the factory service manuel. This car runs and drives. I am just physically unable to finish this project. I have tried to describe this car honestly and correctly. Please feel free to call me for more information @ 304-895-3311. Thank you lor looking! |

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?
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.
