 1958 Oldsmobile just passed NY state inspection fresh from dry storage since mid 1970's last registered 1976. All #s correct including the J2 tri- power intake that definitely looks original,  the front and rear Carb's removed and replaced with Factory blanking plates a very long time ago. I do not know why or when this was done. Car runs strong. Tranny shifts as it should. I believe the mileage is real at under 47,000 miles. This car is unmolested and 100% complete other then the missing front a rear Carbs. Comes with correct Olds air cleaner for one two barrel. Fuel system has been cleaned and wasn't bad to begin with. Has Power steering and Power Brakes. Brake shoes just passed inspection and should be replaced soon.
 To Pass inspection; the following work was needed, Trico Vacuum motor for Wipers just rebuilt by  the best " Wiper Man" and works as new. Replaced old tires with Radials, New muffler, its a single exhaust.
Performed oil change and topped off rear diff ( front seal is leaking) lube. New Battery.  This car has NO ROT!!!!!. light surface rust at worst. Floors SOLID, Frame SOLID, trunk floor SOLID. over 80 images for you to see on Photo Bucket showing great High Res detail

There has been some paint work done a very long time ago.I cant find any signs of previous accident damage other then  small dings and dents shown in images more then 50% of the car is  still the original paint. Drivers window is cracked. All doors and windows work properly. Radio works. Heater Fan not working.  Original vinyl flooring was perfect until you touch it, its petrified and brittle and will crack immediately. Correct color carpet set available for under $300 on Ebay. Chrome has some pitting. Dash and Headliner are really nice.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

The 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?

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.

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.
