We have a 1956 Oldsmobile Super 88.This car belonged to my late father.He took well care of this car.We have had it covered since dad passed in 2009.The truck shows no rusting and has jack and spare tire.The windshield wiper motor was changed to electric instead of the vaccumn assisted one.I had the carburetor rebuilt and had to drain all the gas out of it as it was in there for a while.We had it running about 6 months ago and ran great.When we went to start again wouldn't start.It cranks fine but not getting gas.I bought a new fuel pump on Ebay and again started right up and drove fine.Next day would not start again.We were going to put a electric fuel pump in it.I can shoot starting fluid in carburetor and will start right up and run all day as soon as you step on the gas it floods out.But we just don't have room for the car anymore.My son detailed the outside of car and still has a great shine.There are a few scratches here and there but nothing major.The front passenger window is cracked but does not leak.The crack doesn't go all the way through you can pressure clean it and no leaking.My mom closed the door which is very heavy and window was down and it cracked.There a tear in the front seat but it is not bad.The back seat is perfect.The carpet is in good condition.I know my father had transmission rebuilt before he passed.He drove this car weekly and was his pride and joy.We hate to get rid of it but 5 cars is just too much to just let this car sit.I do not believe there are any major problems with this car other then the fuel getting to carburetor.The chrome is in good shape with maybe tiny pitting spots.But nothing major.I know my father replaced the rocket on hood more then once till he found one he was happy with.All the chrome on the dash is in good condition.The steering wheel has some cracking.If there is any questions please feel free to ask.Buyer will need to make a 500.00 Non Refundable Deposit at end of auction.Buyer must arrange for own shipping.The title is clear and in hand.If car purchased in Florida it has a legal !956 Florida plate on it i can check to see if i can transfer to buyer.The trunk is full of extra parts like brake pads,filters,gaskets,and there is a 1956 Oldsmobile shop and repair manual and some other things but the trunk is full of stuff for the car.This car is being sold as is.Thank you for looking.Good luck.Feel free to make a fair and reasonable offer as we don't need to sell but we are not going to give it away.Thank you

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.
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.
