1968 Cutlass 442 Conv....442 on 2040-cars
Bayside, New York, United States
|
Here in this listing we have a 1968 Cutlass 442 Conv. This is a recent barn find. Been in storage for many years. The car is pretty solid with NO rot or rust through anywhere. It does have some surface rust(see pics). The car will need to be finished being restored. I started and have all the hard stuff done. Here is what is done so far. The motor is a complete fresh rebuild. Numbers matching!!!! I have all the paper work from a local engine builder. The front end was all rebuilt. New suspension, bearings, new rubber, ball joints, shocks, springs etc... All new brake drums, wheel cylinders, shoes and hardware. The rear end has all new bearings and all new brake hardware. New wheel cylinders, shoes,drums, etc.... It has a brand new gas tank and sending unit installed. It has a new heater core installed. I spent a lot of money on the car so far. It does need to be finished. It needs to be painted. It doesn't look horrible just old and some surface rust here and there. It needs a new top. It has 2 rips in it. The seats are in good shape as you can see in the pics. The rug is just dirty and can be cleaned up. The dash is in good shape. I just spent $600 on the new radio. Looks factory stock but has am/fm and ipod hookup. The floors, trunk floor and frame are all rust free. The is NO holes to be repaired. The body is pretty solid. I am sure there is bodywork on the car but from what I can tell it looks straight and doesn't look like there was any major work done. No signs of any accidents that I can see. Fenders, doors, quarters all look solid. It looks like it will be an easy paint job... the car is pretty straight. I am sure I am missing something in the description so I am sure there will be questions. Call me at 347-622-3985 Leave a message I will get back to you and answer any and all questions. I tried to describe the car the best I can. I am only human so I am sure there is something I missed. I also don't know the full history on the car because I have not had it that long. I started the resto and don't have the cash to finish. My daughter is getting ready for college in September and this car has to go. I will have to get another one after college....then probably after the wedding. LOL... I will always suggest to come see the car in person. If you can't make it in person send someone here to do it for you. there are company's out there that will do a great job and cheap. This way there is NO complaints or surprises when you get the car. I have 100% feedback and strive to keep it that way. This car is being sold AS IS with NO warranties implied or given. I also reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells locally before auction end. I will also accept reasonable offers. Just NO low ball offers. Good luck and Happy bidding!!!! |

Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Ever 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 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.
