1960 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 Bubble Top !!! No Reserve !!! on 2040-cars
United States
|
Here is an excellent project car at a great price. It`s begging to be the next cool rat rod on the street or something else! New metal has been installed in the front and rear foot wells and needs finishing of the welding and grinding. Overall, the body and paint are presentable as a driver quality car (it`s a 15 footer). With a little more work, the body would be an easy fix to iron out including some patch work on the bottom of the fenders and rockers. The glass is good as well as most of the chrome. Mechanically, the car was running a few weeks ago but I messed around with the distributor so the car currently does not run. The engine has a rebuilt carb and fuel pump as well as fresh spark plugs and an oil change. The radiator has also been rebuilt to the tune of over $600.00 dollars alone. She`s all ready to get running again. I`m just finished messing with it myself. The car has power steering that does work and power brakes. The brakes would need attention as the pedal is hard and the brakes are "grabby". Great new interior trim & upholstery that needs finishing. Frame looks solid. All exterior lighting works. The tranny seemed to work as well, the one time that I drove the car (about an eighth of a mile). I think this car would be easy to get back on the road as is. Maybe you have other ideas? SOLD AS IS...ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BID....ALL BIDDERS WITH POOR BACKGROUND AND/OR RATING OF BELOW 10 WILL BE CANCELED. THANK YOU. |

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.
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.
