Here is an original 19k mile 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442. This car is equipped with the W-30 option. It was just removed from long term storage in Ohio. It was in there since at least 1985.  It is a very complete car some of the hard to find items still in place. I think about how this car must have looked and performed when it was new. Being a factory Platinum Silver paint car with a black interior, it had a real menacing look. That's right, its a Platinum on black 4 speed 442.

   Originally it was equipped with the 360 hp 400 cubic inch engine with a fresh air induction. Behind the engine came a Muncie 4 speed hooked to a 12 B.O.P rear end. The trans and rear are retained to this very day. The engine is long gone as is, the air cleaner assembly. It still has the factory plastic, red in color, inner fender wells.

   All of the W-30 suspension is there still. The boxed control arms, front (removed currently) and rear sway bar, manual drum brakes. It also has the limited slip posi rear end. These components have been with this car since it was assembled way over in Michigan. That's where all W-30 cars were built in the USA.

   The interior is mostly complete but the headliner and carpet was removed and discarded due to mildew.  It has an aftermarket shifter in place of the factory piece(I was able to obtain the factory hurst shifter with 442 script and linkage though). The rally dash has a factory tic toc tach that works. This was part of the rally pack option that all W-30 442 cars came with.

   I have looked in the headliner, the bench seat backs and underneath, the rear seat and in the door panels for the build sheet. I have had no luck finding it.  I'm not saying its not in the car somewhere, I just haven't found it. So, after discussing this car with a few Oldsmobile gurus, they have all came to the conclusion that this is the real deal and the baddest of the bad.

   The car has a 455 in it currently with a holley 750dp carb, Torker II intake, C-heads, deep oil pan and a Lakewood Steel bellhousing.  The motor sounds like it has a rather healthy camshaft, along with hooker headers and 3” exhaust and flowmasters.  This is a Non A/C, manual steering, manual brakes bench seat 4spd car.

   I also have tons of extra parts, mostly complete nice 70 cutlass black interior, a nice set of black A-body buckets seats, Nice black non-air 69 dash, original rust free 69 deck lid, Driver quality 69 front and rear bumpers, complete fresh built still in the bag 355 old with forged pistons, and another builder 350 with everything to re-assemble.  I also have complete 70 front disc brake spindle, 71 chevelle 12bolt posi rear with a bad ring gear and summit racing rear disc brake conversion kit new in the box.  I also had a custom 1 off EFI fuel injection intake manifold made for the 455 as I wanted to EFI the car and keep it oldsmobile.  There are tons more, I know I am forgetting. 

    I bought this car 5 years ago after long term storage and haven’t had the time or finances to give it what it deserves.  What I have done since I purchased it was re-installed reproduction clutch linkage as some of the original parts were mixed matched when I purchased the car.  Changed all fluilds and install the new holley carb and tune up to get it up and running.  The car has been in storage the entire time I have had it with pulling it out and starting it monthly.

   The condition of this car is running and driving. It has minor rust for a car this old, lower quarters are soft, lower fenders have bubbles, small hole in drivers front portion of floor (about the size of a dollar folded long ways, and a few small holes in the drivers side of the trunk pan). It needs a restoration to be beautiful again. This includes minor sheet metal and mechanical in all areas. This car will be sold as is, where is. It will be sold with transferable Ohio title. A $1500 non refundable deposit is due 48 hours after the auction ends through PayPal.

   So please bid hard, bid often. This is a reserve auction.  Bottom line, no BS. Look at my feedback. No worries from my end. I will assist in shipping the car in anyway I can. Its just your responsibility to arrange it and pay for it. No big deal. I also encourage any interested parties to either come and check it out in person or send someone to that knows what they are looking at. Also, any questions, please ask. I will try and answer everything to the best of my ability.

   Thank you for looking.

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.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General 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 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.
