1964 Oldsmobile Eighty-eight Convertible Triple- White on 2040-cars
Louisville, Kentucky, United States
|
Here is a nice driver quality convertible ready to be enjoyed by someone else. I've had it for seven years and a total of 1800 miles only! The mileage of 82,000 is the actual mileage. It was a one-family owned car when I bought it. It has been garage kept always by the original owner and by me also. The car has been very well maintained always and comes with much original paperwork, invoices and documentation. The car is equipped with a 394 cu. in. 280 HP 2-bl. carb, Hydramatic auto trans., Power steering, Power brakes, Power windows, Power top, Tinted glass, AM Radio, Speed sentinel, remote operated driver's side mirror & clock. Everything works on this car and works correctly. It was re-painted in 1985 in it's correct Provincial White original color. The interior is still the original Parchment White vinyl. The top was replaced in 2011 with original style GM pinpoint white vinyl and goes up & down with the flip of the switch. I've tried to show the main flaws with the body/paint in the pictures. The rear driver's side quarter has some slight creases from a garage incident by the previous owner (ran into bicycle). The passenger's side rear quarter trim was scraped at some time with no damage to the body-the trim could be removed and fixed. The lower rear rockers on both sides have some blistering that is hard to see in the pictures but is obvious and probably the start of some light rust under the paint. There is not any rust evident anywhere. The trunk & floors are excellent. The chrome & trim are very good with the exception of the front bumper has a slight tweek to it as seen in the picture-not bad but noticeable. The original interior has some splits in the front seat bottom but the back of the seat and the back passenger seat are very good. The original carpet was worn and faded and I had it replaced when the top was re-done in spring of 2011. The carpet used was the same as original-black molded loop from AAC Carpet Co. in Aniston AL.- looks great! This car is very sound mechanically! The motor starts right away, still has great power, runs quiet and was just serviced; oil, lube & filter, new plugs, plug wires, cap, rotor, points, condenser, air & fuel filter. The radiator was flushed & two gallons of new antifreeze added. The battery is new. The brakes we're gone thru and trans serviced in 2012-Rebuilt M/C, new fr. & rr. wheel cylinders & hoses, new fr. & rr. shoes and all four drums turned. I have not done anything to the suspension and it does not seem to need anything. It really drives smooth and floats over railroad tracks. The steering is effortless with no pulling or sloppy feeling. The original tinted glass is perfect-no rock chips, cracks etc. and all four power windows work good. The original clock has had a quartz movement installed last fall and keeps perfect time! I always strive to keep everything working and stock on these classic cars right down to the idiot lights-which also work on this car. Even the green engine cold light works-lights up 'COLD' when you first start the engine, goes out when engine reaches temperature! This sale includes everything shown in the pics; All (5) original Oldsmobile Factory Service manuals, Original Dealer Brochures, Original Owner's manual, Paint Brochure, Convertible top Operations Manual and packet of service receipts(not shown). The original conv. top boot is included with no tears or rips, but it has shrunk from 50 years of age and has to be put on in the hot sun to make the stretch & fit. The trunk contains the original jack complete with the spare I believe to be an original, with wear but a bias ply whitewall. Even the original trunk pad and spare cover are present and in good condition. The (4) tires on the car are Firestone whitewalls with less than 900 miles on them! This all in all is a perfect car ready to use on a regular basis or as I have used it, only on nice days in good weather. It has not even been rained on in my seven years of ownership! It is not a show car but could be with some work if that is what you want. E-mail with questions if I forgot anything & thanks for looking! |

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.
