  Up for sale is my very rare 1972 Olds 442 Convertible.   This is true 442 and it is a 3-owner car.  This car is one of 1,025 442 convertible automatics built that year.  They made a total of 1041 convertibles, so the car is super rare.  This car has the 442 option with the W29 handling package, original M code in the vin - 350 engine with the 4bbl carburetor.  It has one repaint in beautiful dark green color and has brand new interior. The paint is an older restoration that still shines.  The car is loaded with options, like factory bucket seats, dual gate Hurst his and hers shifter, power steering, power brakes, factory air conditioning, tilt wheel, tach and gauges in the dash, factory 8 track player, AMFM radio, map light, power release trunk, power locks, W29 handling package with 12 bolt rear, dual trumpet exhaust, ram air hood with the original ram air cleaner, rear wing spoiler, power convertible top and rally wheels.

  This car has a rebuilt engine and transmission (2009), new convertible top with rear glass window, new tires, new alternator and new battery. The car is an original 442 that runs, drive, turns, stops and performs very well.  It comes with spare and jack in the trunk also.  

  The car is completely matching numbers with the original “born with” engine (see pictures of vin stamp on engine block), transmission, rear end etc. This car runs great, has new brakes  It runs, handles and stops very well.  Brake lights, headlights, blinkers, interior lights including the am/fm radio all work.  The horn and all of the gauges work great, but the original 8 track turns on, can hear run, light comes on but the tape does not play sound.  The brake booster is the original Delco Moraine.  The car has some rust bubbles starting at the bottom of the trunk lid edge, which is very common on these cars.  It also has a few at the lower drivers quarter panel behind the rear wheel.  This car is solid though and looks great.  This is a driver car that could be bought and driven to shows now.  It’s a rare color and optioned car ……best of all it’s a matching numbers 442 convertible, super rare.  This car gets thumbs up everywhere I go.

      The car has the following long list of options:  

   

  • 442 – 350 engine with 4bbl carburetor
  • W29 handling package
  • Automatic Transmission
  • Power steering
  • Power brakes
  • 12 bolt rear end

Feel free to email me with any questions.  This car will appreciate in value over the next several years and is better than money sitting in your bank account, since you can enjoy the car while it appreciates (should appreciate faster than the interest from the loan for that matter).  This is a great example of a true matching number 442 Convertible.  It is very hard to find cars like this 1 of 1041 made…..so Bid early, don’t miss out.

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.

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If you have a need to relive the 1970s, then here is the vehicle for you. This groovy blast from the past is a 1976 GMC Motorhome currently for auction in Florida on eBay Motors, and it is one green machine - just not in the modern sense.
The seller claims that this beast has had just two owners and has covered a mere 61,308 miles in its decades on the road. It's reportedly never been restored or repainted and comes with all of the necessary books and manuals. A 7.5-liter (455-cubic-inch) Oldsmobile V8 with a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission powering the front wheels propels this far-out RV, and the double set of rear wheels out back use a self-leveling air suspension to provide a cushy ride.
The purported low miles and good condition really make this GMC a stand out, though. The exterior combination of lime stripes and beige with just a touch of green is like nothing else on the road today. Plus, the polished bumpers and wheels make it all pop. Inside, it's even better with monochromatic green upholstery and shag carpet. It features everything you'd ever need on a long trip, including a bathroom, kitchenette and lots of seating. The only hint of modernization is an HD TV next to the stove, but its size is a perfect fit for the hole there.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General 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.
