1956 Oldsmobile Super 88 Mild Custom Hot Rod Street Rod Lead Sled Or Rat Rod on 2040-cars
Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1956 Oldsmobile Super 88 with 85000 original miles. Originally a mid-west car, this car has been in my family for almost 20 years. This car is so cool and really fun to drive. Gets tons of attention everywhere it goes. It is slightly lowered in the rear with lowering blocks and stock height in front. The engine is the original 324 V8 with very recent work done including new cam, lifters, pushrods and timing chain. This car was fitted with A/C though it may need to be charged. The 3 speed Jetaway trans was rebuilt a few years ago. There is no rust anywhere on this car, and I mean NO RUST EVER. The interior was recovered and looks great. That includes the front and rear seats, door panels and headliner. There is also a hidden modern radio in the glove box. Long white gorilla hair adorns the package tray and sun visors. Outside you'll find an eye catching two tone grey and silver repaint with Hot Rod style flames. The tires are WIDE WHITE bias ply with good tread complemented by 57 Cadillac style hubcaps. On the rear there is an aftermarket continental kit for a real 50s feel. It is bolt on, so it could easily removed if it's not your taste. Dummy spots and lake pipes finish off the period look. There are some small imperfections on this car as you'd expect from a real driver. They include windshield chips and delimitation, some very small scraps and scratches in the paint and side trim. This car has been driven regularly and has seen many several hour round trips out of state and back with no problem at all. This is such a great car and we're sad to see it go. Please feel free to ask any questions, I'll do my best to accurately answer them. Feel free to come look at the car in person before making a bid. I've done my best to describe this cars pluses and minuses. Thank you for looking and good luck. I reserve the right to end the auction early for a local sale. 484 319-8808 |

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?
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.
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.
