Hi to all,

Up for auction is a 1961 olsmobile super 88 celebtiy sedan with 24900 original miles. I am the third owner or the second since the dealer I bought it from 6 years ago owned it for a day.

The car is a true survivor the interior is all original and untouched, the front seat has a dealer installed seat cover on the bench part. all the gauges work.

Since I owned the car I kept up with its maintenance and changed parts that needed replacement. the back shocks were changed ,the date correct Rochester carb was rebuild by professionals out of NY ,the brake lines for the back were remade as well as a complete brake job and full tune up.never put more than 1/3 a tank to prevent bad gaz I also changed a few cosmetic things like the chrome bumper fins in the back and a light bezel in the front. had a modern radio/cd with two speaker in the package tray. the trunk has the original factory carpet and the interior carpet is original but discolored

The engine purrs like new. it has 24900 original miles with the original compressor. The person who ordered this car wanted the bigger engine but none of the creature comforts.

so the car has radio delete,power brakes delete,clock delete power steering delete. and there is no ac unit but the air works.

It is currently inspected and registered and perfectly safe to drive.

The things I would do to it

replace the muffler(small holes)

front window rails are rusted out they need help

windshield motor needs a little whack sometimes

full repaint is definitely needed but clean and waxed paint still will shine nicely.

I would drive this car cross country tomorrow it has never in 6 years left me stranded.

I tried to describe the car to the best of my ability but of course I will answer any questions you might have.

This car is a great candidate for a hot rod of some kind, fully restored but it is an untouched original piece of American automobile history and can be driven and enjoyed as is.

the reserve on the car is fair and the buyer will have to arrange for transportation and is his responsibility (about $800) across country.

I will facilitate pick up with carrier of course, local pick up is also a possibility.

The car comes with a clear mass title

I Thank you for reading .

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.

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If 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.

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.
