You are bidding on a frame off 1969 Cutlass 442 project!
This car has a clear South Carolina Title

The Frame has been sand blasted and powder coated in 40 Black. There is pitting in the metal but there was ZERO rot! Some of the pictures I tried to get close ups of some of the spots that are pitted. The only numbers I can find on the frame are on the driver rear qtr side. See photos for numbers

Other parts I had powder coated at the same time are:
Both front control arms
Both rear upper trailing arms (from body to upper pumpkin area of rear end)
Both front bumper brackets
Two other braces (I think they're inner fender or radiator support braces)
The transmission cross member is also done, its still attached to the frame


This car has the numbers matching 400 Big Block engine which is disassembled which will need full rebuild; and comes with the block, oil pan, 8 pistons with rods, one crank, 4 "small" and one "large" main cap, timing cover plate, hard to find complete "C" heads (rockers and keepers not shown in pictures will be included), Like new Holly street dominator intake manifold, Thermostat housing, oil pump (for match up, I would use a new one) oil filter adaptor, and some other small odds and ends bolts, brackets, and pulleys.

The Transmission was rebuilt about two years ago and has been sitting on the shelf waiting for the rest to be finished. The numbers on the yellow tag prove it to be a 442 trans from '69 but I can not find how to tell if its original to the car (I was told it is)
Tag numbers -  OG-69-5732

You also get the inner fender tag. The Vin number was rotted out, so you will have to order a new vin plate.

I am also including brand new metal rear inner fenders, the driveshaft, front steering linkage, and intermediate steering shaft. (all are painted black, not powder coated)

There is no body to go with this car, it was rusted out, and beyond being saved. I was going to buy another a regular cutlass for a shell and move it to this frame and go all out, but I am closing my shop, so all of my toys & projects have to go!

 


This cars is being sold as is!! Come see it for yourself, there is no refunds!

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?

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.
