You are bidding on a 1968 Olds 2 door Delta 88 Holliday Coupe.

This car has never been offered for public sale since it came off the lot!!!!

Both Hagerty and NADA Classic car price guides list this somewhere between $9,000 and $12,000 the local appraiser has it listed $14,500 for my insurance coverage.

the car has just over 44,000 original miles.  It is in outstanding condition for a 45 year old car, needs nothing to be driven today. 

the car has a 455 rocket engine that starts up and runs great no smoke and plenty of power.

 

automatic transmission that shift smooth and pulls her down the road great

 

all the window work even the back ones go up and down smooth as silk.

 

no cracks in the dash or the seats (they still have the plastic covers that where placed on them back in 1968 so have never really been sat on) 

carpet is all there including the original floor mats ( the carpets do need a cleaning but would look nearly new afterwards)

the roof liner looks nearly new and no sagging or rips

the vinyl top is in great shape no cracks and tears (there is one little spot a couple of inches long by a couple of mill that needs to be tacked back down I will try and get a picture of it)

 

the underside is in great shape check out the pictures and judge for yourself.

the only thing that has been changed and not factory any more are the alt has been replaced I put a new starter in it plugs and wires where done a few years ago the battery terminals where changed and tomorrow it is going in for tires ( the original bias ply tires are currently on it yes 45 year old tires size H78/14 good years)  I will have new tires on it tomorrow with 0 miles on them.)

 

I bought this car from a family member (78 years old) who received this from his mother who was 93 when she quit driving he has owned just shy of 25 years now. he got it with 39,xxx on it and had put just over 4,000 on it in all that time ( 50 this year alone!)

 

I am almost ashamed to admit this but I bought the car to strip down build the motor and turn it into a weekend strip car (a good 455 being hard to find) and having such a nice body needing min. work.   my conscience wont let me do it. this is way to nice a car to wreaking to make a strip car out of.  I had offered it to other family members but none of them are overly interested so this is how she ended up here.

 

thanks for looking any questions or different pictures needed let me know I will do my best to answer honestly and quickly your more then welcome to make an appointment to come and see here just contact me and we can set it up.

$500 immediate down payment is required you may pay the rest upon pick up but I will not take any form of checks all payments must be cleared before I will allow this car to leave my garage.

 

I will not arrange shipping but I will help and work with any shipping company of your choice. I may even be able to meet them somewhere for ease of pick up.

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If 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.

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

The 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.

Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
