1971 Olds Cutlass Supreme Convertible SX 1 of 357 built Y-79 performance package 455, turbo 400, with less than 800 miles on the rebuilt engine, No leaks. This was a one family owner car, I bought from the original owners grand daughter. She had the engine completely rebuilt (Spitfire of Denver machine) to the tune of $7000.00 and yes, it was too much but it runs excellent. The carburetor was swapped out in favor of a re-manufactured but original is included and its whats in the back seat. This car is and was dirty because it had sat for 7 years after the work was completed. I wiped off a portion of the valve cover only but wasnt going to try and fool anyone with a complete detail. Its been sitting but I changed out the gas, plugs, and fuel pump and this car flat out runs. You can step on the gas and without hesitation it will spin the back tires as a rebuilt 455 should with only an rv cam installed. Has rally steering wheel, sport mirrors, rally gauges ( tic toc tach and gauge package tach works as does oil and temp, gas is pegged at full) bucket seats and center console. The power top works going down but you need to help it going up. Air conditioning does not work as there is a breach in the line, power steering and power disk brakes. This car runs and drives excellent with no pulling to one side squeaks and or rattles but needs as you can tell a cosmetic restoration. A nice smooth ride and what you expect from an Oldsmobile. I will add a photo of the trunk when my mechanic friend opens it as the key did not work and it was drilled to gain access to the mechanism. There is also no rust in the trunk as there is none in the floor or frames. There was rust that looked like was previously repaired around the rear wheels and maybe a little bit below the front fenders. No tears in the seats, no ashtray door, CB comes with the car via the 70s, and whoever put the speakers in the door didnt think things through and had to take off the window handle to roll it down (included). Rear bumper needs to be replaced ($324 on here) or rechromed and top needs replaced. real glass rear window is good. Like I said it needs cosmetic but mechanically, its is very very solid and strong! Any questions please ask, look at the photos, and or know that you want the car before you bid. Considering the rarity of the car, I should not be selling at NO RESERVE but want it out of my garage because I dont drive it, dont want to restore it as I drove it as is, and need the space.

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.
