 1955 OLDSMOBILE SUPER 88 HOLIDAY COUPE

Well folks... here is it.  One of the nicest 1955 Oldsmobiles you will find for sale.
This car may be located in Wisconsin now, but it enjoyed a full wonderful life in Florida until recently.  That means no road salt, snow and all the rest of the nasty stuff we see here in the northern states.

This stunning Olds features the original 324 (4bbl) Rocket V-8 paired with the original Hydra-Matic transmission.  This engine and transmission have been rebuilt within the last 300 miles, and perform just the way they should.  Starts right up, and drives and shifts effortlessly as you cruise down the road.

Highly professional repaint in the original Coral and Cream exterior color combination make this beauty stand out in a crowd.  The interior has also been completely redone in the original colors, and looks beautiful.  The only flaw I can see is that the carpet over the transmission hump is very slightly worn.  And I mean... it doesn't look brand new.  By no means does it need replacing.

Of course it has power steering, power brakes, and most importantly... the original radio with Wonderbar!  Everything works as it should with the exception of the clock.  Parking brake works perfectly (the red light brake indicator even works!)

When it comes to a 1955... everybody wants a Chevy.  Go to any car show, and you will see multiple 1955 Chevys.  Pull up to a car show with this beauty, and you will most likely be the only one with a 1955 Oldsmobile 88.  If you want to blend in with the crowd, and be just like everyone else... then this car is not for you.  This car WILL turn heads.

For sale locally as well, so auction may end early.
Shipping is solely the responsibility of the buyer.

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.

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.

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.
