This is a 1969 Oldsmobile 442. This car is all original accept for the engine. It has a 1970 455 engine in it that is running driving engine. I do have the original engine, but just the block. The 455 was cleaned and a new mild comp cam, lifters and timing chain was installed. All componets on this engine and front end have either been cleaned or sandblasted and repainted using correct colors. Even the core support was sandblasted and repainted. I also have the factory build sheet.
Some of the factory options that are on this car include Air conditioning, Front disc brakes ( rebuilt), Delux seat belts, power steering, power brakes, Automatic trans ( Turbo 400), Delux seat belts, remote driver mirror, Power windows that work awsome, Bucket seats, Console, Also factory heavy duty front and rear sway bars. 12 bolt rear. These are all factory installed with this car.
The body on this car I would call great to excellent cond. It does have a couple of dings here and there but they are very minnor. It does have a dent on the passenger side rear quarter pnl. But can be either repaired or patched. Can be sean in picture. The floor pans and trunk are in excellent condition wand have no rust. This car is as solid as they come. Has not been all cut up and repaired. I did weld in a lower patch pnl to the drivers side lower fender. Also see picture. The biggest rust spot on the car in on the rear window driverside channel. It is about 2inches in length and very easy to fix. Where the window seal would be. A couple of small spots on each side of the rear quarters. Small spot on the passenger side fender. ( I have Patch pnl) The doors and roof are perfect and have zero rust.
This is a factory tripple blue 442. It had a blue vinyol top, interior and exterior (code 53 I think). I believe it was called Nassau blue. I sanded the original paint down to bare metal and put a couple of coats of primer sealer on.
The only part I did not sand was the factory hood. It has a crease in it. I have purchased another factory 442 hood that will be installed.
Factory front and rear 442 bumpers were sent out and have been professionally replated. They look awsome. I have over 1k invested in these alone. Also have new chrome 442 trumpet exhaust tips.
Front end has all new suspension components. Hotchkis springs, bushings, shocks were also replaced. Brand new duel exhaust is installed and sounds great. Has a new gas tank installed. Front bucket seats and console are all here.
The dash is in mint condition as are the gauges, power windows work excellent, All the trim is in excellent condition. As is the grill and components.
Again this is an awsome car that only needs paint and interior to be perfect. Great car for cruising or even to make some money on.
Please only serious buyers bid.
I will remove your bid if you have less than five feedbacks. I dont play games and dont have time for the scamers.
Thanks, if you have any question or want any more info please give me a call. (541) 281-5515

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.
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?
