1979 Oldsmobile Ninety-eight Regency 2 Door Hard Top With 403 V8 - Barn Fresh!!! on 2040-cars
Nappanee, Indiana, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1979 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency 2 Door Coupe Hardtop. The car was bought by it's current owner in 1981. It was driven up until 2004 and then parked in a barn due to a leaking gas tank. It has been sitting there since then. We recently pulled it out of the barn and put a battery in it and gas in the carburetor/tank. The 403 V8 ran on the gas in the carb, but there is something wrong with the fuel system as we could not get it to run off the gas in the tank. The engine seemed to run ok, but we did not have it running long enough to really know the condition of the engine. The car is in rough overall condition due to it's age and since it has been sitting for 10 years. The interior is in fair shape, but it does have a strong odor from the mice that lived in it while it was in the barn. The issues we are aware of is the leaking gas tank, the brakes do not work, the fuel delivery issue, and the trunk will not close. There may be other issues with the car, but we did not have it running long enough to discover them. We believe the odometer has been rolled over. The car is currently not drivable and will need to be towed by it's new owner. Note: Car must be picked up in Nappanee, IN 46550. Local Pickup Only. No Shipping!!! Must be paid for and picked up within 7 days of auction's end. No returns. What you see in the pictures is what you are buying. Please message me with any questions you may have. Thanks for looking and Have a Great Day! |

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.
Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
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.
