1955 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight 4 Door Hardtop Hard Top 98 on 2040-cars
Tucson, Arizona, United States
|
1955 Olds 98 Holiday 4 door hardtop. Original colors are Coral/Grey. Options are power steering, brakes, windows, seat, radio, rear speaker, heater, tinted glass, and b/u lights. Great project to restore..
I purchased this car from the 2nd owner (after trying for many years), because it's a solid car, never modified, nicely optioned, and a rare color combo. I still have projects other I want to finish, and no idea when I will start on this one. Wheels were recently added, and do go with the car. I don't know much about the car's history (before 35 years ago) only that someone backed into it at the super market requiring the front bumper, and passenger fender to be replaced. The car had been sitting since 1982 when I bought it. I have since gone through the fuel system, the brake ststem, and rebuilt the distributor. I got the car running again (runs nice). No smoke/noises or issues. Transmission shifts well (on the lift), but the car isn't registered so I haven't driven it down the road. All the trim is in nice condition (its either on the car or inside it). The car was painted white back in 1982 to prevent surface rust. The interior is original and will need to be restored (chrome is in nice condition). The body is clean, and rust free. The bottom has normal surface rust on suspension parts. The car is complete, and original down to the muffler (which has a GM part number, and a date stamp of 7-55). The vehicle needs to be towed/trailered due to sitting for nearly 35 years. The car is definitely worthy of being restored. No point letting it just continue to sit when someone can fix her up... Title is free/clear, and notarized. If you are in (or) near Tucson, AZ, please come check it out.. This car would be an easy restoration which you can enjoy as you restore. $500 deposit required within 24 hours. Full payment is due within 7 days from auction end. Vehicle shipping is buyer responsibility. I can store the vehicle safely (for a short time), and assist with loading. Bidders with (excessive) negative feedback will have their bids cancelled. Please ask all questions prior to bidding.. all questions are answered quickly
Thanks for looking, and good luck! |

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.
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.
