1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham Sedan 4-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Mount Airy, Maryland, United States
What you are bidding on is my father's extremely well maintained 1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88. Dad drove it until he was 97 years old. It was his pride and joy. I have done all of the maintenance on this car from the moment that he bought it new (certified mechanic). Below is just a fraction of the work done to this car:
The car was stripped and repainted with a PPG base coat /clear coat in 2000. I used new side mouldings and restripped the car as new from the factory. In 2004 the front end was rebuilt, while a new gas tank was installed along with sending unit and fuel hoses. The car has a full dual exhaust. In 2006, I installed new brake lines and hoses, master cylinder, brake pads and shoes. In 2009 a new water pump, thermostat, and hoses, as well as a new power steering pressure hose and return hose. In 2010, a new heater core went in. In 2011 a new head liner, heater control valve plugs, ignition module, new fuel pump and hoses, new oil pressure sending unit, new rear brake shoes, new calipers, hoses and ceramic pads along with flushing the braking system. I also changed the transmission filter and oil around this time with swapping the fuel hoses to "green coded" for all of the current fuel additives. In 2013 i replaced engine mounts and trans mount along with a trailer hitch (for our bike rack). I have only given you a sample of the care that this car has received. You will also get the full record book with the purchase of this car. It has had better care than my spoiled border collie (who has never ridden in it). The car has a lot of style, receiving compliments everywhere it goes. It is also as reliable as anything that i have ever driven. Last year we drove it to my Army reunion in Myrtle Beach almost immediately after returning from a trip to NY. The A/C is R-12 and is like a freezer. The vinyl top has always had top dressing applied to protect the original material. The car has been garage kept since new. Feel free to ask any questions, additional pictures are available upon request. Legal:

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.
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.
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?
