1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 all numbers matching car. Frame off restoration started. Very rare Canadian car! Some one had ordered a factory race car with this one!

True 442 from Canada. High Output 400. Close Ratio Muncie 4spd. Chevrolet 3.90 limited slip differential. All of these options came on the car. I also have the 1968 optional 4 piston disc brake setup(complete) and power disc brake booster and master cylinder(new/rebuilt).

The pictures will show how nice this car is. I wish I could finish this vehicle, but life has other plans. The body is off the frame and the frame is disassembled. I have all of the parts labeled and stored inside.

Tons of new parts are included in this auction. I have the paint for the engine, frame, and underbody. I also have the emission decals, air cleaner decals, and radiator shroud(very rare; 1968 only).

The transmission has the original tags on the case. I will include the new clutch, pressure plate, and rebuild kit in this auction as well.The original flywheel has been resurfaced and has no cracks or damage.

The engine is a High output 400. I only have the heads, intake, block, and crank. The heads were just rebuilt with all new valves, springs, and keepers. The heads are setup for comp cams XE274H. Brand new Comp Cams XE274H with lifters, timing chain, and cam thrust button. Also included is a new performance SFI dampener. Moroso deep sump oil pan. Brass freeze plug kit. Screw in studs and guide plates. I also have a nice 455 that has been disassembled and cleaned that I was going to install in place of the 400.

Included is the original distributor, air cleaner(repainted correctly w/ decals), correct original valve covers, M/T valve covers and many more miscellaneous parts. I also have a setup for power steering(used).

New set of blackjack headers and radiator. The original bumpers are still with this car.

THE ROTISSERIE DOES NOT COME WITH THE BODY. THE BODY WILL BE SET ON A WOODEN CRATE FOR SHIPMENT. I WILL NOT DEAL WITH LOADING THE BODY OR THE PARTS. IF YOU WANT TO SHIP THE CAR, THE SHIPPER MUST HANDLE LOADING EVERYTHING.

I have over 3K in extra parts that come with this car. Some have been listed above. Ask any questions before bidding. No warranty! I am selling because I am tired of the project. This is a true numbers matching vehicle and I have included a pic of the VIN and cowl tag. Remember this isn't a Chevrolet and it is also a Canadian car. Research how rare it truly is!

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.

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.

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?
