1955 Oldsmobile Super 88 2dr Hardtop Arizona Car Runs Great on 2040-cars
Tucson, Arizona, United States
|
1955 Oldsmobile Super 88 2dr Holiday Hardtop. It was bought new in Texas, but was found in a local Tucson shop where it had been sitting for 25 years. Needs a full restoration, but you have a great base to start with. The car is 95% rust free. Driver floor needs a small patch by the gas pedal, and the spare tire well is rusted out. There are a few pieces of glass that are cracked, interior needs updating, and chrome needs re-plating. Nothing mentioned is out of the ordinary for a 60 year old car. The motor runs very well. It fires right up, idles nicely. The carb, and fuel pump were rebuilt. The car doesn't smoke, and there are no strange motor noises. All lights work. All gauges work including the speedometer. Radio was refurbished, and has been tested/works. The only part missing is the air cleaner (and the battery is not included). Accessories/Options: 4bbl, power steering, power brakes, rear speaker, hydramatic transmission, dash clock, tinted glass (all windows), back up lights, courtesy lights, parking brake warning light. Original colors are the popular Turquoise/ Polar White (paint code S41-60). $500 PayPal deposit is required within 24 hours. Full payment is required within 7 days or the car will no longer be available (to you). Shipping is buyer responsibility (I will assist with loading). Please ask all questions before bidding ends, emails are quickly returned. I can store the vehicle safely in my garage for up to 30 days after the auction, but no longer (unless the car is exported). Please communicate your storage needs in advance, and I will work with you. Arizona title is free, and clear. Bidders with negative feedback will simply have their bids cancelled/deleted. Please do not bid unless you are serious, or ask me how you became the high bidder. (might sound crazy, but it happens). Thanks for looking! Paul.

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.
