Up for no reserve auction is my 1966 Oldsmobile 442. This car is originally a rust free Colorado car that underwent a full frame off restoration (completed in June 2013). Every nut and bolt came out of this car. Body, fenders, doors, trunk and hood were all soda blasted and sealed with PPG DP-90.  Doors were rust free and didn't have any dents bigger than a half dollar. The frame was stripped down to bare metal, sand blasted, cleaned, primed with PPG DP-90, and top coated with PPG polyurethane black for durability.  Frame was reassembled with polyurethane bushings and new bolts.  All parts were blasted and primed with DP-90, top coated with PPG polyurethane black. New polyurethane body mounts and bolts. Under body top coated with PPG Polyurethane black for durability. Rust free, dent free fenders went on the front. The body was treated with gold bond, finished with PPG High build primer, painted with PPG DBC -1, top coated clear with PPG 2021 (DC61 Hardener), water sanded, re top coated with clear PPG 2021 (DC61 Hardener), water sanded and rubbed.  Car has lots of base and clear. Paint is a really nice earth tone burgundy orange metallic. Paint looks fantastic! 

The entire brake system is brand new including brake lines, brake kits (new springs)  and liners (pads), wheel cylinders, power booster and master cylinder. Car has new gas lines and gas tank. Wheel bearings were checked  and repacked.   

Engine is a recently rebuilt 425 D block with C heads (new motor mounts). Car has good oil pressure at idle and runs cool. Car has new 3-core aluminum radiator to help with hot summer heat. This car can be offered with the original numbers matching E-Block with B heads. The numbers matching engine is complete. Carburetor on the car is a Berry Grant  Demon 750  (4 corner adjustable). Transmission is a Muncie  4-speed with a new pressure plate, disk and re-surfaced fly wheel. Transmission also has new shifter bushings. Headers are new with a new custom 2 1/2 exhaust (with crossover) all the way back.  

Rear end is a posi-track 355. The rear end was blasted and cleaned,  primed with PPG DP 90 and top coated with polyurethane black. Drive shaft has new universals with grease fittings. New tie rods (inner and outer). New ball joints (upper and lower).   

Car has all new rubber including doors, trunk, roof rails, window sweeps and hood. Car has new trunk matt. This car is a great driver.  

Interior is in good shape and has new dash and headliner. Floor and headliner is insulated with dur-a-liner. Car also has a new fire wall insulator.

Car needs: bumpers re-chromed for cosmetic imperfections, new speed cable (which I have), heater core repaired and some other small items. Tires are new, rims are in good shape: free of warpage and dents, all rims are balanced and spin true. Center caps could be switched out for Oldsmobile caps.

Happy bidding.

Please call me at 248-252-0747 or 248-320-1803 for additional information, additional pictures available upon request. Trunk, engine bay and undercarriage is immaculate.

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.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

The 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?
