1968 Oldsmobile 442 Base 6.6l on 2040-cars
Elk, Washington, United States
|
1968 Oldsmobile 442, 37,500 original miles, numbers matching engine, trans, and rear diff. 6.6 liter/400 cubic inch V8, turbo 400 3 speed auto, T series (same as W-30) 3.42 geared 12 bolt posi differential. Power steering and power brakes. Rally Pac gauges with in dash Tic-Toc-Tach. Tach and clock both work great. Code E Nocturne blue paint, brand new four wheel slotted/drilled disc brakes with powder coated calipers, powder coated BMR lowering springs, pst sway bar ends links and bushings, new gabriel shocks, stainless steel brake hard lines, and braided stainless flex lines. New corvette master cylinder, booster, and proportioning valve. New 18x8 & 18x9 staggered wheels and tires. Not a W30 car but has the W30 ram air cold air intake with twin scoops under the bumper. Interior in great stock condition, front seat has been reupholstered and the carpet has been replaced, everything else is original. Original bumper jack assembly still in the trunk. Only 36,000 1968 442's were ever made, and not many have survived with such low miles, finished the last week of April 1968 at the Fremont, California plant, it's build plate matches the vin, unlike some 442's that were taken off other assembly lines to be finished. I have the original protecto-plate, and owners manual, the original stereo, and all the original brakes, springs, and master cylinder/booster boxed up if someone would like them, to have the option of returning it to stock. I will say that it rides, handles and stops WAY better than stock now though. It has enough braking power that I now feel comfortable driving in heavy traffic. Stock 442 four wheel drums leave a lot to be desired... Car was repainted in 2010, looks and shows extremely well. Runs and drives great. New spark plugs, wires, pcv valve, valve cover gaskets, turn signal cam, temp sending unit, rear view mirror, wiper switch,fuel pump, and more. Feel free to ask any further questions, it's hard to find low mile 442's with numbers matching drive train nowadays, and it has $5000+ in brand new brakes, springs, wheels, and tires that give it great curb appeal. Thanks!

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.
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?
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.
