1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible on 2040-cars
|
This 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible was purchased by its original owner at Jim Letts Oldsmobile on Peachtree St in Atlanta GA in 1969 it then spent the next 44 years in Buford GA in the same family until it was sold to me by the original owners grandson About the hunt …… I spent over a year searching for a 1969 Cutlass convertible. I past on at least half a dozen cars before my friend who lives in Atlanta, saw this car in the owners garage and stopped to inquire for me. It wasn’t for sale at the time. After speaking to the owner’s family for months trying to get them to sell me this car. I discovered that this car was maintained from new by the same mechanic… yes this mechanic started working on this car when he was 18 years old and continued servicing it for the next 40 plus years, turns out he went from shop gofer to owner in that time span.. I spoke to him before purchase and he confirmed everything the owners claimed. What that really attracted me to this particular one? The best way to describe this car is as an Original Honest Southern car. It is unmolested in every way, no one has modified it or changed it, just preserved it for years of trouble free enjoyment. I have original owners manual and warranty card. Features 350 Rocket Engine Quadrajet 4bbl Carburetor. A/C car blows cold Bucket seats and column shift.. Interior is a time capsule.. all original upholstery, minimal wear. Original GM deluxe seat belts I added a reproduction GM Deluxe seat belt in back to safely secure a child seat for cruise nights. I have original belt Car was repainted in its original Glade Green factory color in mid 80’s from what original owners family recalls, It is showing its age Power top was leaking from the pistons when I got it, so I pulled the top cylinder bolts which allow the top to raise and lower manually. The top material is pulling away from the seams by the door frames, probably can be sewn at an upholstery/top shop 4 wheel well moldings not installed but included in sale Even though this is a southern car it does have surface rust in the lower corners. Trunk is rock solid, as is trunk drop downs, floors super solid. I replaced the 215/75/14 tires and original hubcaps that were on the car at purchase with a set of SSII (14x6) wheels which I had soda blasted and painted in the correct Argent Grey color and 4 new 225/70/14 Cooper Cobra radials, they have less than 200 miles on them. Both sets of wheels and tires go with the car. I recently have had a full tune up, all new seals and gaskets installed, engine cleaned and detailed. I added the 442 grilles, replaced the old dull T3 Headlights with 4 new sealed bulbs New Bosch battery with 3 year warranty installed March ‘14 brakes serviced, with new shoes and cylinders. Brake flush, wheel alignment New gas shocks Lifetime warranty form Mavis Tire on all work. Overall this is a truly amazing preserved original southern car, one that you can get in and drive anywhere, and if one chooses down the road give it the full restoration it deserves. Car is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end auction early. I will assist buyer with shipping. I require $1000 deposit made by paypal within 24hrs of auction end, transaction must be completed within 3 days. New York State does not issue titles for cars prior to 1973, so the car will be sold on a bill of sale and signed registration card. |

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.
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.
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?
