RK Motor Company, Highspire PA A real barn find... 1980 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser Wagon in Dark Blue Metallic Paint, original, small scratches and dings, with original Tan Cloth Seats- Full Front Bench Seat, equipped with a 5.7L Diesel Engine. We took the vehicle away from its resting place and took the time to get it running. New batteries were replaced (2), diesel fuel was added and we took our time to get this blast from the past started, and it did! Please, I repeat please! Understand that this vehicle has been owned by the previous owner on 10-04-1983 and it was last driven in 1986, the PA State Inspection Sticker along with PennDOT registration showing 1986 as the last year driven. The car has 87,150 miles since new and it had 51,000 on it when the previous owner bought it back in 1983. Note: The car was covered and shielded from weather, but there was 26 years of dust on top of it when we pulled it out. As you can see now, with very minimal damage it is actually a nice time capsule. Yes the car ran! for well over 30 minutes, all the fluids were checked prior, and were topped off prior to starting. The vehicle will need exhaust work, drivers side tail pipe. it will also need a fuel tank due to leaking. Replacement tanks are still available either GM or aftermarket. As you look at the pictures, you will be amazed at how nice she is. The tires are radial white striped and are not dry rotted, and continue to hold air. Everything inside the car operates as it should, and again with very little wear! The previous owner has a supply of replacement air filters and two extra pair of shock absorbers that come with the car. The original owners manual and repair bills are included also. Again, as it was back then in the 80's, this Cutlass Cruiser Wagon equipped with the 5.7L Diesel would make a great ride to the shows, or just out for ice cream.
PLEASE NOTE: ADDITIONAL PICTURES OF THIS CAR WILL BE ADDED ASAP, THANK YOU

After many many calls, I want to make you aware that you are getting a rare find in this condition. Additional photos have been added and made larger for you to critique the subject. Again this is a barn find, it is going to need the once over, filters, gaskets, fluids replaced, brake system examination, it is NOT a turn key drive it home. I personally took the time to listen to the vehicle run after a 27+ year rest. You decide what you want to do with this vehicle, either restore, or custom modify its up to you. But the opportunities are endless!

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?
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.
