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!

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

The 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.

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If 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.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General 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.
