1969 442 Coupe on 2040-cars
Hillsborough, New Jersey, United States
Rock solid original California black plate 442. I bought this car out of Rancho Cucamonga in the Cali desert back in '02 and its always been garaged and stored winters. All sheetmetal is rust free. The mileage on this car is original. The interior is completely original and nearly flawless. Even the carpet and factory red mats are in great shape. The headliner has some seams opening a bit and a small rip. Nothing obvious. The correct VIN stamp are present on both the motor and transmission. The motor has never been apart and runs perfectly. I cleaned and painted it only. Has correct carb, distributor and WZ manifolds. Alternator is not correct number. 4 core rad. 3.08 open geared rear. Sport steering wheel with excellent grain - not worn flat like higher mileage cars. I de-trimmed and refinished the vehicle years back as the paint was shot due to desert conditions it lived in. Was stripped to metal and done in Glasurit urethane. Paint is still outstanding. I also deleted the vinyl top at that time. Holes for top moldings were welded closed not filled. Has brand new BFG radials. All exterior trim other than bumpers, front hood moldings and eyebrows are original to this car. The SSI wheels are original chrome as well. The blacked out areas were refinished due to fading. This is a no nonsense, strong running, factory original Palomino gold an gold 442. Car is a pleasure to drive with no problems whatsoever. Ive driven it sparingly in the past couple years and I think it should go to someone that would enjoy it more. Ive just got too many toys.

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.
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.
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.
