|
With the original, unrestored 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass featured here, the possibilities are unlimited! The winning bidder of this classic Oldsmobile can drive it as is or use it as a solid foundation for that hot rod / muscle car / resto-mod build.
Jim Moore Cadillac/Oldsmobile was the original selling dealer for this classic back in 1971 located right here in Columbia, South Carolina. The car is still in this area today and has original owner manuals, protect-o-plate, dealer information, etc. to help document the past 43 years. This 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass features the Rocket 350 V8 engine and has an automatic transmission. The A/C has been converted to run the newer style freon and a recent tune-up has been performed. The previous owners sales information sheet was found underneath the front passenger seat stating that the vehicle still features the original top and interior. Also, the original key code knockouts were found in the glovebox. (See photos) The exterior chrome and paint have a few chips, nicks, and imperfections as any 43 year old vehicle should. According to the past sales information sheet, the car was resprayed in the mid 1990's and still shines today in the current mint green color. The car drives, shifts, and brakes well. All lights, signals, and gauges are in working order. As referenced earlier, the interior is all original and in good condition with some seam separation on the front seat. (See photos) All 4 tires have been updated with new 14 inch tires. The factory jack and associated equipment are located in the trunk along with the spare tire, which has also been updated. The original trunk felt floor covering is also in place. Overall, this classic 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass is a solid driver with no known rust issues. This IS the true Southern Car that you have been searching for and as an added bonus, this Oldsmobile has been in the Columbia, South Carolina area its entire 43 years! Once the reserve has been met, the vehicle will be sold to the highest bidder in "as-is" condition. Myself, the vehicle, or any combination of the two, feature NO WARRANTY either expressed or implied.

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.
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.
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?
