1951 Oldsmobile 98 Convertible on 2040-cars
Oregon City, Oregon, United States
|
First time offered, 1951 Oldsmobile 98 Convertible that needs total restoration. This car is in better than average condition regarding rust issues as it came from the dry High Desert area in Central Oregon. It does have some body damage including about 40 bullet holes from obvious target practice out in the wild west. The rocker panels are very solid, the frame is very solid and the trunk floor is NOT rusted out anywhere. The floorboards need replacing. The windshield frame was bent sometime in the car's past. I have parted out another convertible and have a complete replacement section that was carefully removed at the cowl by drilling out the spot welds. Additionally, the donor car has provided many extra parts including two very nice straight doors, a perfect dash, extra wing windows and ALL of the stainless trim for this vehicle. The top mechanism including the front header of this vehicle is also in nice condition but I haven't had the top up as the hydraulic cylinders are stuck as well as the window "power" cylinders.
During the past ten years that I have owned this vehicle, I have purchased loads of N.O.S. parts and hard to find parts for it from local swap meets and ebay sellers. I had removed the Rocket 303 engine and automatic transmission from it a few years ago and haven't touched it since. The car and all of the above listed parts have been in dry inside storage since I bought it and everything is included in this listing. Clear title with no brands. Local pick up, I have a tractor to help load the car. Buyer is responsible to arrange for shipping. I try to over describe all of my listings with clear closeup photos so there are no surprises to the buyer. I have included the maximum photos (24) for viewing, however this is the first time I have listed a vehicle to sell so I am sure there are questions to be answered. The car and parts are available for inspection and I welcome prospective buyers to do so if possible. I have a 100% positive feedback and thrive to keep it.Thanks. |

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.
