1955 Olds Super Rocket 88 - 2 Door Hardtop - Super Nice Original Car on 2040-cars
Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States
1955 Oldsmobile Super Rocket 88 Very nice and original 2 door hardtop. This is a factory Super Rocket 88 and it still has it's original 324 V8 with Hydramatic transmission. The Super Rockets came with a factory 4 barrel carb and engine output was 202hp. This is not a regular '55 Olds, it's quite a special and sought after classic. The body is straight and rust free. Floors, frame, trunk pan and body panels are all clean and solid. Everything fits good and the chrome/stainless all basically still looks new. The doors shut easy with just a click and the little door flappers work fine. Paint is old lacquer that still looks excellent overall and holds a deep shine. The light mint colored part shows some checking and it has a few small little nicks here and there from driving - but nothing too bad and no bubbling from rust problems popping up. No worries of what may unexpectantly show up like on a freshly painted car. The car was restored in the 90's and is still beautiful inside and out. The interior basically looks new and is very impressive. All gauges, lights, signals, radio, horn, wipers, etc work as they should. The wiring is all neat and clean and the gauges were completely restored (faces, wiring and all). The car runs and drives like a dream. The drivetrain has been rebuilt and the combination has less than 10k miles on it. The engine starts right up, runs quiet and smooth with excellent oil pressure, it doesn't overheat, knock, misfire or anything else bad like that. The Hydramatic transmission shifts crisp. It comes equipped with power steering which makes the car easy for anyone to drive. The engine compartment is clean and stock. It has wide white wall radials and runs down the road straight and smooth with good alignment etc. It will surprise you how good the old car drives. New glass and weather stripping when the car was restored. Even though it is an older restoration, the car has always been garage kept and still looks great! Since photos can tell more than I can type, I am posting over 80 detailed pics to show it's condition and features, inside, out, and underneath. No funny business, clean and clear Kentucky title in my name. Questions are welcomed - 270-799-8388 Terms/Conditions - This car is being sold "AS IS" with no warranty written or implied.

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.
