1966 Oldsmobile 98 2 Door Hardtop Holiday Coupe
Rare car and body style
Runs and drives great
This car can definitely be a really fun daily driver or weekend cruiser
The car was previously driven daily a few years ago, I drove it as a weekend cruiser and to local car shows
425 Big Block (original motor)
The motor has really nice torque and power
Automatic Three Speed Transmission
The Oldsmobile is lowered in the back with lowering springs, nothing has been cut or modified poorly, the springs are just shorter than stock and can be easily found at any auto parts store if you wanted to return the car to stock height. The car does not rub or scrape on the ground unless you go over a large bump too fast but it does not scrape or rub during normal driving conditions and the springs have good travel in them.
The wheels are chrome wire wheels or "Dayton" style
The original wheels are included with the original hubcaps
Power steering
Power brakes
Power windows (windows go up and down with a little assistance, passenger rear window does not work)
Power seats (motor spins but may need to be cleaned and adjusted to work properly)
Air Condition car (compressor is missing but would need to be replaced anyway)
Some rust as seen in the pictures, nothing too major and the frame is solid
The car needs exhaust manifold gaskets, which are included. Exhaust manifold gaskets are not difficult to replace and are easily accessible.
Radiator leaks a little and may need to be replaced soon.
Water pump and thermostat were replaced recently.
Speedometer cable broke so the speedometer does not work and the mileage is stuck on 45,498 but I do not think the mileage is too much more than that since I am the third or fourth owner
This car is so much fun to drive and turns heads everywhere. I have really enjoyed cruising around in this Oldsmobile but I have to sell it so I can work on some of my other car projects.
The last picture is some of the rust in the trunk near the wheel well.
The second to last picture is the driver side where the carpet and door panel are a little worn out. There is no holes in the floor where the carpet is missing, just some wear through.
Feel free to contact me through Ebay if you have any questions
No returns, No warranty, No delivery, Cash in hand on pick up

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.
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.
