1963 Oldsmobile Convertible And Hardtops Super And Dynamic 88's on 2040-cars
Champaign, Illinois, United States
|
Here we have a few 1963 Full size Oldsmobile Project cars. There are (2) 2 door hardtops and 1 convertible. All have Titles. All are in original unwrecked, unmolested "barn find" condition. The white convertible will start and move under its own power. The green hardtop will start and move under its own power. All cars are complete and have good glass, solid trunks, all parts intact. The brown car is a very rare Super 88 with all of the corresponding trim intact and dent free. All cars are 394 big block cars with the green and brown cars being the desirable 345 h.p. 4 barrel engines. The brown car would probably start and run I just haven't tried. The convertible top mechanism on the white car is completely operational, without damage and is relatively rust free along with the top tub area. All cars are equipped with power steering and brakes. All cars are equipped with the rotomatic " slim jim" transmission. The green car has had a complete new exhaust system installed at some point. All cars will require complete and frame off restorations to be road worthy again. The white convertible was found in a shed in Iowa. The brown car came from a storage shed in central Georgia. The Green car was found in a barn in rural Minnesota. I have many extras that go with the cars such as owners manuals, protecto plates, hubcaps, parts from a "63 starfire, like spinner hupcaps, a starfire grille etc. I prefer not to sell the cars independently. The bid reflects purchasing all 3 cars. PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: These are project cars and require full restorations. I'm probably forgetting a lot of information about the cars so feel free to call me to talk about them. Bidders with zero or feedbacks under ten will have to contact me or I will just cancel the bids. This is a no reserve auction so they will sell to the highest bidder. All vehicles are located in Farina, Illinois 62838. I do have a car hauler so I can help with the transportation of the cars for an agreed upon amount. My name is James and I can be reached at 217-377-9667 if you are seriously interested in the cars. Don't waste anybodys time with daydreamin, low ballin or anything else. Thanks for looking. On May-09-14 at 06:40:39 PDT, seller added the following information: The cars will have to reach a certain bid amount before I can let all of the extra parts go with them. The trim to door on the white car is in the trunk. The door wasn't closed all the way in pics, but shuts tight. The white car has 4 brand new white wall radials. |

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.
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?
