1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Survivor Estate Car Mostly Original Paint Must See on 2040-cars
Oak Creek, Wisconsin, United States

CAR IS BEING SOLD WITH THE SUPER STOCK 2's (RALLIES) AS SHOWN IN A FEW PICTURES>< Pauline Bodman of Elizabettown PA bought this 1972 cutlass from H S Risser Motors In may of 1972. She had specially ordered this car in covert beige and a baroque gold painted top. She did not care for the look of vinyl and chose this very seldom seen combination. It has been out of her estate for only about a year or so. It is very apparent when viewing this car that she did not drive it in inclament weather as it has held up wonderfully. The car has a 90,000 mile 350-2 and is one of the best driving oldsmobiles I have ever had. In fact I just drove it home from PA and it averaged 17+ mpg @ 75 mph for over 725 miles. I believe this is the first time in all its life it has left the state of PA. As far as slapping the term "survivor" on a car...it is a very overused term. I would rate this car high. The paint upon my inspection is about 70% original. The hood, roof, trunklid, driver fender and passenger door look to be still 1972 issue laquer. The driver door I believe has been touched up and both rear quarters. In my experience this happens as people age and the garage opening "seems" to shrink over time! One look into the trunk, the bottom of the car and lower extremities prove this car to never have been rusty or driven in a winter. As long as I am on the subject of the trunk..I will say that this is one of if not THE best trunk insides I have ever seen. I have dealt wth and restored alot of cars and I will say that it still boggles my mind when you see such a pristine factory applied spatter job. I highlighted the red oxide primer application, the beige paint overspray, and the patterns of the spatter paint and the way it was done quickly on the line. The top portion of the felt mat is still fastened down with its red colored spray glue. The bottom has been replaced and I took great care an alot of time to get the old stuck foam rubber material off the floor which sticks with age. There is not even a dime sized speck of orange rust anywhere. The wire harness looks reproduction even and the weatherstrip still has that latex coated feel and 2 painted stripes still present not to mention the base of rear window and windshield moldings have the original clear plastic washers underneath the screws holding them on! The plating on the jack mast looks new and the condition of the whole jack assembly is mind blowing. Car was ordered with a light group package which consisted of a hood, trunk, dash and rear view mirror lamp. All of them work. Car also has power disc brakes.I have only a partial build sheet and the rest may still be in the car. I have not wanted to tear anything apaty and there really is no need to. Interior is clean, and at one time the front seat fabric gave way but only the driver portion was replaced. The passenger side has some splits and the rear seat looks never used. Car does not have any odors and never was smoked in. Dash is crack free. Fasten seat belt light works until you buckle up and key buzzer still buzzes. All other controls, wipers etc work except the radio. Paint on roof is slightly crazed and has some staining which is typical of old 40+ year laquer. It still shines and is neat to say its original. Chrome and trim is excellent. engine bay is unmolested and one can learn from the way things were done then. You can see primer where the firewall meets the cowl as they painted from the top down, brake booster has the aqua dot paint daub and part sticker residue still in place. Power steering pump still had its small yellow oval part identifier decal still on it. The car does not leak, make noise or smoke. Choke works as it idles high when cold and then can be kicked down nicely. Video of it running is the last picture shown. These cars are getting harder and harder to find in this type of original state. It is nice to say that it still has all 5 original rims and it has never been switched over to a super stock rally wheel of any kind. Car is absolutely a turn key ready to drive anywhere car, as it just ran a 11 hour trip without a hiccup. feel confident, look at my feedback and study the 120+ photos. Nothing to hide and as a hobbyist I like to get a good feel for something before I buy. This is why I take hours to take pictures of areas I like to know more about. I encourage any inspections. Please do homework or ask questions prior to bidding. I am here to help. car is located 90 miles north of chicago and I;m a suburb of milwaukee. Jason. 414-688-060four.

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.
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?
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.
