Cutlass Salon, Selling At No Reserve on 2040-cars
United States
|
This vehicle was a 'Special Order' car with the order being submitted late in August of 1975. It was part of a fleet order, done by my father, of about 200 Oldsmobile products, from his corporate office on Park Avenue in New York City.. One of 67 known five speed Cutlass Salon models built, it was delivered to Scott-Smith Oldsmobile in Orlando, Florida on May 1st, 1976. Loaded with options, the factory window sticker reveals an MSRP base price of $3850.00 with the 'T'-Tops adding another $550.00, more than 10% of the base price, and with all the additional options, making the total suggested retail price $7425. The paint is in excellent condition with a small chip on the hood edge. This car lacks any parking lot rash, rust or aged vinyl top.The plastic bumper fillers are as new. I have always garaged the car and since retiring it from everyday use, it sits in my climate controlled garage. The two barrel engine was providing about 23 MPG on the highway and it runs as good as it looks. The air conditioning has not been touched in many years and yet the R-12 system blows very cold. The original colors are Mahogany lacquer with a Buckskin vinyl top and pin stripe. The interior retains the maroon cloth on oversize bucket 'Salon' seats. I desire the bidder to view this car or have a qualified person inspect it for them. The electric windows operate slowly but all the rest of the car functions properly. I have the original window sticker, ( a copy is on the passenger window). Things like the sun visor sleeve that illustrates how to remove the ignition key, the plastic seat belt 'limit' pieces are correct and the factory rubber floor mats appear as new. The wheel lip mouldings lack dents and dings as I always carefully parked my car away from others in the parking lots. Please contact me for additional, specific photos as I have a large picture file that has many shots. Thank you for viewing my car. Wellington Morton (904) 230-4448. I do not accept PayPal and a deposit is not required although I am requesting that payment be settled in seven days.
While attempting to locate the original window sticker, that I found in the glove box, I noticed all the factory books and envelope; Owner's manual, warranty, emission, and most important: THE ORIGINAL STICKER IS STILL ON THE INSIDE OF THE GLOVE BOX DOOR THAT STATES: "THIS VEHICLE WAS ALTERED BY HURST PERFORMANCE COMPANY AND COMPLIES WITH ALL FEDERAL GUIDELINES IN EFFECT IN 1976" THE OPTIONS AS LISTED ON THE WINDOW ARE:

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.
