1972 Oldsmobile W-30 442: American Icon Numbers matching This would have been your father’s Oldsmobile – if your Dad was the COOL dad on the block. This
is a REAL W-30: by 1972, you can tell by the “X” in the VIN. Numbers matching engine (VIN on block matches
VIN on cowl). Learn about the W
machines, including how to authenticate one, here: http://www.442.com/oldsfaq/ofwmc.htm There are 130 pictures of the car, including numbers, underside and just about everything else here: http://s1074.photobucket.com/user/chrismalish/slideshow/1972%20Oldsmobile%20W-30%20442?sort=6 Engine:
Engine is the original Olds 455 with
the VIN stamped on the block matching the VIN in on the cowl. Factory aluminum intake manifold. “GA”
heads. Factory high performance W and Z
exhaust manifolds. No smoking or leaking.
Runs fine, but not an 11 second car. I am in the process of building a spare Olds
455 with Ka heads (new SRP forged pistons etc.) that I was going to put in the
bay so I could beat on it without endangering a numbers matching engine. If you want that, it'll be extra. Transmission: GM’s bullet proof Turbo 400, with aggressive shift kit. Works as it should. Interior: Original, and nice for how old it is, but showing signs of wear. Special ordered with black bench, so your honey can slide all the way over and snuggle. In overall good shape, with the exception of some splits in the front bench. A new seat cover is reproduced. Original mats. All belts in place, original, with date tags. Dash with factory radio (not working). In 1972, the Rally Pac was no longer part of the W30 package and whoever ordered this one did not realize that: it comes with idiot lights and aftermarket gauges. Body
and Paint: Southern car; dry;
straight. Very nice underside. Body is
believed to be the original sheet metal, and nice. Gaps line up nice; no waves. Door dimple on passenger side. Typical minor stress cracks at cold air
intake on OAI hood. The color is a factory paint code 65 Flame Orange, which looks kind of like Hugger Orange with a tiny of bit of metallic to it. Paint
is older repaint, now showing a
little wear, but nice overall and completely respectable, roughly on par with the paint on my 2013 Cadillac (factory produced cars do not have show quality paint jobs on them). Might be show winning with a cut and buff. Wheels and tires: Pick a set. Comes with either the original 14 inch SSIIIs, color coded to body, or these 15 inch SSII with essentially new BFGs, 235/60/R15 fronts, 275/60/R15 backs. Suspension: New front springs and KYB shocks. Power steering, power disc brakes, all work well. Tight. Miscellaneous: Why am I selling?
To make room for another hot rod..... Can one drive this 442 to
________? It’s an old car, so there’s no
telling and no guarantees. But I drove it from Chris |

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.
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?
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.
