1980 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS 442 Here is a very nice and straight 1980 Olds Cutlass 442. This car is a very inexpensive way to get started into the classic automobile trend, or just a fun car to bomb around in! One of the rarest of the 442's ever built. There were 886 units built for the 1980 model year. Only 342 of these vehicles were sold in the US, while the majority of them were sold in Canada. 346 of the total number of cars were of a white / gold color scheme, and the remaining 540 were given a black / gold color scheme. That breaks down to approximately 205 black / gold cars were sold in the US. This particular car has had the low-hp 350 motor removed, and a stout 455 big block out of a 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass. This engine was built with a mild cam, and installed in 2000. It only has around 7,000 miles on it now. The transmission was upgraded to a 700 R-4 to handle the extra power of the big block. This was also installed in 2000. The rear axle is equipped with Richmond 3.42 gears, and an Auburn carrier. The entire exterior of the car was repainted in its factory original colors in 1999. At that same time; the front seats were recovered; the headliner was replaced, and the sun visors were redone. The brakes and mechanics are in very good working order. The factory air conditioning works very well, and blows cold! Even the factory cruise control works! With the upgraded drive train... this car flat out moves! A deposit of $500 will be expected within 48 hours of auction end via PayPal. Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and payments. Car is listed for sale locally, so auction may end early. Vintage Motorcars, LLC Sun Prairie, WI 53590 608-318-1945 - Office 608-345-2581 - Cell |

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.
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.
