If you have any questions or would like to view the car in person please email me at: echoerryu@cockneys.net .
This rare Olds 98 2 Door Hardtop is a real, "survivor," with only 49,500 miles. It looks to have it's original
spiral shocks! It is a very straight and solid car. It looks to have had one repaint which is very average
condition / quality. The very bottom of the front fenders have had some minor repair. The bottom of the spare tire
well has a 3"x5" fiberglass patch. All the floor pans, inner and outer rockers, and trunk are solid, no patches. It
doesn't appear to have heavy cratored rust underneath, just surface stuff, and nice for it's age. The stainless
trim is excellent - two easy fix dents in pics. One on the forward top of the RH rocker molding, and one on the LH
fender middle trim. The die cast on the car is excellent as is, or easy re-chrome, with the exception of the LH
tail light housing, but the car comes with an excellent replacement. The hub caps I bought for it were advertised
as, and look NOS. The car runs, drives, shifts and brakes very smooth. At idle, one lifter may have a very faint
click, hard to tell exactly. The seat and
windows worked when I bought the car. The seat gave up from non use and I haven't tried the windows prior to this
sale. I bought this car many years ago and it has only had an annual "Maintenance drive" around the neighborhood
since I've had it. It has never dripped on the floor. This is a package deal. When I first bought the car, I also
bought a lot of new parts and Olds goodies I thought the car should have - most in pic. J2, Bat Wing and the
associated brackets and lines, emblem and letters, A/C outlets, dash control head and compressor bracket to add
air, NOS "Bumpy" valve covers, Re-chromed bumper pieces, extra glass skirts, stainless lines, and all new date
coded side glass -( passenger window was cracked) - Windshield and Back glass are excellent. The reason for the
sale is "Too many projects, not enough life times."

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.
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?
