1966 Oldsmobile 98 2 Door Hardtop Holiday Coupe Rare car and body style Runs and drives great This car can definitely be a really fun daily driver or weekend cruiser The car was previously driven daily a few years ago, I drove it as a weekend cruiser and to local car shows 425 Big Block (original motor) The motor has really nice torque and power Automatic Three Speed Transmission The Oldsmobile is lowered in the back with lowering springs, nothing has been cut or modified poorly, the springs are just shorter than stock and can be easily found at any auto parts store if you wanted to return the car to stock height. The car does not rub or scrape on the ground unless you go over a large bump too fast but it does not scrape or rub during normal driving conditions and the springs have good travel in them. The wheels are chrome wire wheels or "Dayton" style The original steel rims are included with the original hubcaps Power steering Power brakes Power windows (windows go up and down with a little assistance, passenger rear window does not work) Power seats (motor spins but may need to be cleaned and adjusted to work properly) Air Condition car (compressor is missing but would need to be replaced anyway) Some rust as seen in the pictures, nothing too major and the frame is solid The car needs exhaust manifold gaskets, which are included. Exhaust manifold gaskets are not difficult to replace and are easily accessible. Radiator leaks a little and may need to be replaced soon. Water pump and thermostat were replaced recently. Starter has been replaced about a year ago. Speedometer cable broke so the speedometer does not work and the mileage is stuck on 45,498 but I do not think the mileage is too much more than that since I am the third or fourth owner This car is so much fun to drive and turns heads everywhere. I have really enjoyed cruising around in this Oldsmobile but I have to sell it so I can work on some of my other car projects. The last picture is some of the rust in the trunk near the wheel well. The second to last picture is the driver side where the carpet and door panel are a little worn out. There is no holes in the floor where the carpet is missing, just some wear through. Feel free to contact me through Ebay if you have any questions No returns, No warranty, No delivery, Cash in hand on pick up

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.
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?
