1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 2 door hard top

Olds Rocket 350 with Offenhauser aluminum intake,

Holley 4 bbl carburetor, headers, 2 1/2 dual exhaust

TH375 automatic transmission with Hurst shift kit and Hurst floor shifter.

Power steering, power brakes, air, tilt, Sony AM/FM CD with MP3 cable

15x8 Torque Thrust II wheels with 4 brand new 60 series tires.

Vinyl top and wind shield was replaced in 2008, the windshield had some pits, it was just time for a new one;

the windows were tinted in 2008,

and installed new carpet last year.

The seats need new upholstery to finish the interior, the dash pad,

door panels, and headliner are in really good shape.

The car was painted at one time, don't know if it was the

first or the second owner, but it was done a while back.

It has the normal rock chips, small dings and light scratches here and there

from driving, it is still a very sharp looking car and the paint still has a deep shine.

The hood on the car now is not the original, the hood scoop is a Goodmark

steel cowl hood scoop, but I have kept the original hood that is untouched.

I have the original dash insert with the AM/FM 8track.

I have an ACCEL HEI distributor and an A4 Olds factory aluminum intake

that goes with the car.

I have the original purchase receipt from the dealership, the factory build sheet from under the back seat, all the original warranty papers,

owners manual, and 1973 Oldsmobile chassis repair manual

I also have some other hard to find small parts that come with the car.

I have never had any major problems with this car outside of normal

maintenance, and normal wear on a forty year old car.

It runs good, drives good, and I can depend on it to go anywhere

I want to go, it is a fun car to cruise around or go on a road trip with.

This is a one of a kind car that turns heads everywhere it goes, and

out of every car I've owned... "I have had the most fun with this one."

"The car is garage kept and not driven in the winter since I've owned it."

I'm selling it just as I bought it "as is."

I really hate to sell, but I have to fund my new project car,

and it is time to move on.

If you are serious, and looking for something no one else has,

"This is the one."

If you want to view the car in person, we can make arrangements to do so and I do recommend it.

PLEASE!

"Serious inquiries only"

This is an asking price and I am open to negotiation ,

but... "No low ballers."

I will do a cash deal in person or a $500.00 Paypal deposit due within 24 hours of purchase, and then we will make arrangements for payment of the remaining balance.

Up on sale buyer assumes all responsibility arranging for pick up, and/or transport, paying for shipping, freight, and/or transport charges .

This car is for sale locally and I reserve the right

to end this ad at anytime.

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?

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.
