1968 Cutlass S Convertible---restored---buckets---factory Air----new Everything! on 2040-cars
Troy, Virginia, United States
|
I bought this Cutlass S in 2008 to restore, because it was a convertible with factory air, bucket seats and a console-mounted floor shifter. The fact that it came with power windows and had front disc brakes already installed sealed the deal for me. This car has all the features to be a stylish, comfortable long-distance cruiser. Since completion, I have taken it on two long distance tours, so it can be driven anywhere reliably. Those friends that have driven the car comment that it is well-sorted. The convertible top mechanism has never given me a moment's trouble. The car starts first time, every time, even if it has set for two weeks. Tires on the car are P225-70 R-14 BF Goodrich Radial T/As with about 70% of tread left. Clear car title is in hand; non-smoking household. I do most of my own automobile restoration work so I know it's done right. Am a member of both the Oldsmobile Club of America and the AACA and treasure originality. I strive to restore each car as close to factory correct as possible. I hire seasoned professionals to rebuild the engines and transmissions. Have all the receipts for parts I purchased, and for the service and restoration work I couldn't do myself. Also included are the previous owner's receipts for service work performed as early as 1982. I have been trained over the years to do everything to restore a classic car except body and paint work. That is all that is left to do on this car. There is no body damage to fix, but there is some rust at the bottom of each rear quarter panel. At some point in its lifetime, this car was heavily treated with Ziebart rust proof spray inside the body in over thirty different areas, including the underbody. The car was repainted before I purchased it but the paint is tired. It certainly could be left and enjoyed "as is" or repainted--allowing you to pick whichever color you like best. I am sure this Cutlass will be a great buy for any enthusiast that wants a car they can enjoy right now.

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.
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.
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?
