1969 Oldsmobile Olds 98 4 Door Mom Owned It Since 1970... on 2040-cars
Garfield, Arkansas, United States
My mom called this her Brown Bomber! This car has basically had one owner and was garaged kept its entire life until recently i've had it on a car trailer need to sell her. DOES NOT RUN but motor not locked up best of my knowledge. the Transmission was slipping when it was parked parents where to old to rebuild and continue to drive. This has a 455 425HP 400 auto trans... This car has never been rebuilt so engine will be clean inside. The interior was redone at some point years ago. NO RUST ... repeat NO RUST... only spot is on the roof line from the vinyl top i will include in pics. CURRENTLY car is on a trailer and for a fee i can haul it 300 miles or so.Location is Garfield AR. CLEAR TITLE. has never been wrecked or anything major.. LOADED with options to much to list, send me your phone number if you need details. Perfect car to rebuild and make your Sunday to Church car. You will not find one any nicer for an Olds 98 the glass is perfect. Car will need restored so please do not expect it to be road ready from day one. I do have the fender skirts and the original hub caps or at least i believe them to be original.
ALMOST FORGOT.. My father was a 50 year propane man so this car ran over 90% of its life on propane... so if you know anything about that you will know the engine will be very clean internally. NO its not setup any longer dad removed it prior to parking it. He needed the trunk space for trips until it began slipping in trans. please no LOW BALL offers a junk yard for metal alone is worth a lot. the engine and trans will be parted out before i just give it away.. MOST LIKELY WILL LIST ONLY ONE TIME SO IF YOUR ONE OF THOSE EBAY ERS THAT WAIT IT OUT YOU WILL MISS OUT.. I HAVE TO GIVE MY BUDDY HIS TRAILER BACK IN A WEEK OR TWO AT MOST... GOOD LUCK PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH QUESTIONS.. |

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?
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.
