Hi to all,

Up for auction is a 1961 olsmobile super 88 celebtiy sedan with 24900 original miles. I am the third owner or the second since the dealer I bought it from 6 years ago owned it for a day.

The car is a true survivor the interior is all original and untouched, the front seat has a dealer installed seat cover on the bench part. all the gauges work.

Since I owned the car I kept up with its maintenance and changed parts that needed replacement. the back shocks were changed ,the date correct Rochester carb was rebuild by professionals out of NY ,the brake lines for the back were remade as well as a complete brake job and full tune up.never put more than 1/3 a tank to prevent bad gaz I also changed a few cosmetic things like the chrome bumper fins in the back and a light bezel in the front. had a modern radio/cd with two speaker in the package tray. the trunk has the original factory carpet and the interior carpet is original but discolored

The engine purrs like new. it has 24900 original miles with the original compressor. The person who ordered this car wanted the bigger engine but none of the creature comforts.

so the car has radio delete,power brakes delete,clock delete power steering delete. and there is no ac unit but the air works.

It is currently inspected and registered and perfectly safe to drive.

The things I would do to it

replace the muffler(small holes)

front window rails are rusted out they need help

windshield motor needs a little whack sometimes

full repaint is definitely needed but clean and waxed paint still will shine nicely.

I would drive this car cross country tomorrow it has never in 6 years left me stranded.

I tried to describe the car to the best of my ability but of course I will answer any questions you might have.

This car is a great candidate for a hot rod of some kind, fully restored but it is an untouched original piece of American automobile history and can be driven and enjoyed as is.

the reserve on the car is fair and the buyer will have to arrange for transportation and is his responsibility (about $800) across country.

I will facilitate pick up with carrier of course, local pick up is also a possibility.

The car comes with a clear mass title

I Thank you for reading .

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.

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.

Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
