VERY NICE CLASSIC. ALL THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT IS INTACT. THE ORIGINAL COLOR WAS WHITE BUT OTHER THAN THE PAINT AND A MINOR INTERIOR RESTORATION ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO IT IS ALL ORIGINAL WITH EVERYTHING INTACT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE.TO BE NIT PICKY AND SPECIFIC TO DETAILS, THERE IS A QUARTER SIZE CHIP IN PAINT ON PASSENGER DOOR AND A SMALL HOLE THROUGH THE METAL ON THE BOTTOM, DRIVERS SIDE ROCKER PANEL (IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE BUT I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS.) THIS VEHICLE ISN'T PERFECT BUT IS VERY NICE, ESPECIALLY FOR BEING ORIGINAL. WITH A THOUROUGH DETAIL AND SOME MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL TUNING IT WOULD BE THERE. EVERYTHING WORKS LAST I CHECKED FROM THE POWER WINDOWS AND LOCKS TO CONVERTIBLE TOP(RUNS A LITTLE SLOW), CRUISE CONTROL, RADIO, ETC. HAVING ALL THOSE OPTIONS WAS RARE IN 1966. IT ALSO HAS AIR CONDITIONING THAT IS WORKING OTHER THAN A BELT NEEDING PUT ON. IT HAS BEEN GARAGED KEPT AND RARELY DRIVEN(THUS THE REASON I NEED TO SELL IT), BUT IS VERY ROAD WORTHY. I AM VERY MOTIVATED TO MOVE IT QUICKLY AND BELIEVE THAT IT IS REASONABLY PRICED BASED ON THE MARKET. THE ODOMETER READS 69,000 AND SOME CHANGE AND IS ACTUAL I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN. I BELIEVE IT HAS ONLY HAD ONE OTHER OWNER, A FRIEND OF MINE WHO HAD THE CAR IN HAWAII AND I PURCHASED FROM IN THE 70'S. TO A COLLECTOR OR ENTHUSIAST THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT CAR. YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO DO MUCH OF ANYTHING. YOU COULD EASILY MAKE IT A PRISTINE CAR WITH VERY LITTLE NEEDED OTHER THAN THE TIME AND LITTLE KNOW HOW. UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE THE KNOW HOW OR TIME TO DO IT OR ENJOY THE CAR FOR THAT MATTER. LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. PLEASE NO SCHEMERS. IT WON'T WORK SO SAVE US BOTH THE TIME AND DON'T TRY.

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?
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.
