My name is Chris Martin I am the owner of the car. You can call me any time at home 972 617 0354 or my cell 469 441 1891 if you have any questions are want to know more about the car please call me. The car will be sold only on ebay. Give me a call I might do a buy it now on ebay.
I bought this 1969 cutlass S (not a 442 or a true ho455 it is a clone) from the original owner. They bought the car brand new on June 30, 1969 from Hensly motor company in Hot Springs, Arkansas. I have a copy of the original title that they received from the State of Arkansas when they bought the car new and the envelope that the title came in the mail from the State of Arkansas when they bought it. They come with the car. They paid $4,271.04 for the car when it was new. I had to turn in the original Arkansas title to the State of Texas when I changed the title into my name. I have a clear Texas Title in my name. The car still had the original white paint and gold pin strip on the hood. It came new with bucket seats and the floor console. It ran and drove great. It has less than 111,000 miles on it. It had a 350 engine in it and I bought a 455 olds engine and had it rebuilt. I bought the Cutlass S to have it restored into a 69 HO455 clone. I wanted it to be restored as close as it could be to a real HO455 for myself to drive around in and drive it to local shows. It has been restore to be a car that you can drive around in. It is not a show car to be towed on a trailer. It look like a show car to most people. I'm 68 years old and due to my health I must sell all of my cars. I would not sell them if I could drive them. I want some one that will buy it and drive it and let other people see it. It was just finished in April of this year (2014). I had the car restored frame off by a shop that restores HO455, 442, and Cutlass. The body was removed from the frame to restore the body of the car on a rotisserie. All the parts on the frame were removed. The frame and all of the parts were sand blasted and painted satin black. I have listed most of the work and parts that were done on it. The car is all steel. Any repair work that was done to the body we used new sheet metal panels. It has a 12 bolt rear end. I will be adding two videos you can watch which I had made of the car and more pictures I had taken.

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?
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.
