If you have any questions or would like to view the car in person please email me at: echoerryu@cockneys.net .
This rare Olds 98 2 Door Hardtop is a real, "survivor," with only 49,500 miles. It looks to have it's original
spiral shocks! It is a very straight and solid car. It looks to have had one repaint which is very average
condition / quality. The very bottom of the front fenders have had some minor repair. The bottom of the spare tire
well has a 3"x5" fiberglass patch. All the floor pans, inner and outer rockers, and trunk are solid, no patches. It
doesn't appear to have heavy cratored rust underneath, just surface stuff, and nice for it's age. The stainless
trim is excellent - two easy fix dents in pics. One on the forward top of the RH rocker molding, and one on the LH
fender middle trim. The die cast on the car is excellent as is, or easy re-chrome, with the exception of the LH
tail light housing, but the car comes with an excellent replacement. The hub caps I bought for it were advertised
as, and look NOS. The car runs, drives, shifts and brakes very smooth. At idle, one lifter may have a very faint
click, hard to tell exactly. The seat and
windows worked when I bought the car. The seat gave up from non use and I haven't tried the windows prior to this
sale. I bought this car many years ago and it has only had an annual "Maintenance drive" around the neighborhood
since I've had it. It has never dripped on the floor. This is a package deal. When I first bought the car, I also
bought a lot of new parts and Olds goodies I thought the car should have - most in pic. J2, Bat Wing and the
associated brackets and lines, emblem and letters, A/C outlets, dash control head and compressor bracket to add
air, NOS "Bumpy" valve covers, Re-chromed bumper pieces, extra glass skirts, stainless lines, and all new date
coded side glass -( passenger window was cracked) - Windshield and Back glass are excellent. The reason for the
sale is "Too many projects, not enough life times."

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.
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.
