This is one of those cars with a great story: Original owner's baby, garaged since new, less than 50,000 original miles, and now belonging to the daughter of the deceased one owner of this American Classic!
Yep, it is indeed a one family owner (original purchaser has deceased; daughter now owns it) and it was his pride and joy - a sign that he had made it! As such, it was always garaged and received the utmost care. Since his passing in 2007, the car has been resting in its garage spot waiting to belong to its next grateful owner.
Being a 39 (almost) year old car, it does have signs of being used, but not abused. It has 49,875 original miles (subject to change with test drives). The 455 starts right up, idles fine and accelerates appropriately, but would benefit from a tune up to get it running super smooth again. The automatic transmission shifts perfectly. Power brakes function well. Power locks and windows work. Even the clock works! The A/C blows warm, so a conversion to the new Freon will be necessary. Besides the radio (illuminates but no sound), the cruise control is the only other thing that does not work.
The tires have great tread and the vinyl top is in great condition. The windows and lights are all crack-free; the front driver's side turn signal is missing the trim that holds it in place. The car has been repainted at some point but in its original shade of light blue. The paint has a great shine to it; expect minor imperfections such as stone chips and scratches, but nothing out of the ordinary. There are signs of some body work being done, primarily behind the front wheels and the doors, but it does not appear to be significant, and the work appears to have been done well.
The interior is in very good condition. The original floor mats are still protecting the carpet, and the super plush seats are without tears. The dash has no cracks. The driver's side door panel has damage to the arm rest and door pull. The headliner is perfect.
Driving this car is like driving your couch on a cloud! It is super smooth and quiet, and floats down the road!
I have uploaded a slide show to this listing that should show approximately 50 photos of the car so you know what you are looking at. If you are viewing this on your phone, it may not appear. Laptops, desktops and even tablets should show the slide show.
If you check NADA values, you will find this car to be worth $8,500 (low retail) to nearly $13,000 (high retail). My reserve is significantly lower than both!
I am a licensed Michigan dealer, and while I have been an eBay member since 1999 with 100% positive feedback (see kevhead31, my personal account), I have only recently started using eBay to market my vehicles, and therefore have no feedback on my company account as of yet. Again, check my personal account (kevhead31) to know that you can bid with confidence, knowing that this car has been accurately represented.
As a licensed dealer, it is my obligation to collect sales tax and process the title in the State of Michigan, and if you are a Michigan resident, you are also required to supply proof of insurance and pay for registration and license plate. If you are out of state or outside the US, any and all costs to register and title the car is at your expense. Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser, but I am willing to assist in any way I can. Car is sold as is, where is, with no warranties expressed or implied.
If you have any questions about the car, please ask! I can be reached at 616-581-8815.

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.
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.
