Up for auction is my 1964 Olds Starfire that I have owned for the past 28 years. It was a totally rust free, highly optioned car from Texas with 88,000 miles on it before a complete body-off rotisserie restoration was completed 5 years ago. The pictures of the car speak for themselves. This car has won many trophies at both indoor and outdoor car shows including a People's Choice award. It was featured in the Old Cars Weekly magazine and can be seen as background car in the Cohen Brother's movie "A Serious Man." No expense was spared during the restoration. Every part on the car was either rebuilt, replaced, rechromed or polished. The original numbers matching motor was completely rebuilt. It was bored 40 thousandths and is now 406 cubic inches. A new special grind Starfire cam was installed. The transmission was updated to a 700R4 and is connected to the original T-Stick shifter handle. The entire front and rear suspension including the axel tube was powder coated as well as the inner fenders, engine brackets, core support and just about anything else that was black on the car. All new stainless steel brake and fuel lines were installed. All new a/c components were installed including compressor, evaporator, condensor, dryer and lines are on the car. The system was converted to R134 and has not yet been charged with refrigerant. ASMS Auto Fabrics new interior including seat covers, door panels, headliner and carpet was installed. This Olds has the factory original Super Deluxe Wheel covers that include special 8 lug steel wheels that the aluminum covers are attached to. Other rare options are the simulated woodgrain steering wheel and the Reverbatone Speaker System. Notice the trim on the highbeam headlights. These are the factory stars that came on a small percentage of the '64 Starfires sold. The car has the Protect-O-Plate factory warranty and owner's manual. The original color was Saddle Mist with saddle interior. I restored the car only to change the color and make it like my Dad's Starfire that he had when I was a kid. The color now is the correct 1964 Olds Starfire color called Sheffield Mist. The car has been driven 3,341 mile since the restoration was completed 5 years ago. It is the nicest and most completely restored '64 Starfire that I have ever seen. It is a fun car to drive and it gets a lot of attention. The winning bidder gets a complete 5 Service Manual set, other literature and advertisements for the car and some spare parts. The car is sold as is and payment must be received within 7 days of the end of the auction. Delivery is the buyer's responsibility but I will do anything I can to facilitate. Please email any questions. Thanks for looking and good luck on your bidding.

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.
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.
