1968 Olds 2 Door Holliday Coupe 455 Rocket Delta 88 44,000 Orginal Miles!!!!! on 2040-cars
Eau Claire, Wisconsin, United States
|
You are bidding on a 1968 Olds 2 door Delta 88 Holliday Coupe. This car has never been offered for public sale since it came off the lot!!!! Both Hagerty and NADA Classic car price guides list this somewhere between $9,000 and $12,000 the local appraiser has it listed $14,500 for my insurance coverage. the car has just over 44,000 original miles. It is in outstanding condition for a 45 year old car, needs nothing to be driven today. the car has a 455 rocket engine that starts up and runs great no smoke and plenty of power.
automatic transmission that shift smooth and pulls her down the road great
all the window work even the back ones go up and down smooth as silk.
no cracks in the dash or the seats (they still have the plastic covers that where placed on them back in 1968 so have never really been sat on) carpet is all there including the original floor mats ( the carpets do need a cleaning but would look nearly new afterwards) the roof liner looks nearly new and no sagging or rips the vinyl top is in great shape no cracks and tears (there is one little spot a couple of inches long by a couple of mill that needs to be tacked back down I will try and get a picture of it)
the underside is in great shape check out the pictures and judge for yourself. the only thing that has been changed and not factory any more are the alt has been replaced I put a new starter in it plugs and wires where done a few years ago the battery terminals where changed and tomorrow it is going in for tires ( the original bias ply tires are currently on it yes 45 year old tires size H78/14 good years) I will have new tires on it tomorrow with 0 miles on them.)
I bought this car from a family member (78 years old) who received this from his mother who was 93 when she quit driving he has owned just shy of 25 years now. he got it with 39,xxx on it and had put just over 4,000 on it in all that time ( 50 this year alone!)
I am almost ashamed to admit this but I bought the car to strip down build the motor and turn it into a weekend strip car (a good 455 being hard to find) and having such a nice body needing min. work. my conscience wont let me do it. this is way to nice a car to wreaking to make a strip car out of. I had offered it to other family members but none of them are overly interested so this is how she ended up here.
thanks for looking any questions or different pictures needed let me know I will do my best to answer honestly and quickly your more then welcome to make an appointment to come and see here just contact me and we can set it up. $500 immediate down payment is required you may pay the rest upon pick up but I will not take any form of checks all payments must be cleared before I will allow this car to leave my garage.
I will not arrange shipping but I will help and work with any shipping company of your choice. I may even be able to meet them somewhere for ease of pick up. |

Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Ever 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.
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?
