You are bidding on a 1965 OLDS 442 Cutlass Sport Coupe: how exciting right? This car was garaged for the last 26 years when we purchased it from the 2nd owner. 1 of 3164 4speed cars built. The original motor and 4 speed where gone when we purchased the car. I will attempt to be as succinct as possible on the details: BODY: overall it's in GOOD shape, I wouldn't say great. It has the typical mud in the fenders and there are some scuffs, dings, and bubbling. The specific bubbling parts are highlighted in the pictures. The specific areas are on the passenger rear outer fender, the top of the passenger door where it meets the roof, same goes for driver side. There is a dent in the driver front fender close to where it meets the front bumper. The driver fender eyebrow is missing. The hood has some scratches that are noticeable from 5'. The trunk has a ding on the passenger rear side. The trunk is in EXCELLENT shape as depicted in the pix - no rust at all. There is some minimal type surface rust in the inner fenders too. INTERIOR: I would rate it a 7 out of 10. The bucket seats are in great shape as is the backseat. There are some slight tears in the headliner, but you have to look really close to see it. The carpet is ok, needs a good cleaning. The door panels are in good shape. The dash has a small crack right above where the 442 emblem is. The original radio and cluster are in great shape. The glove box is perfect. The center council where the shifter and tach are is cracked, but I know whoever gets this will put it back to the 4 speed it deserves anyways:) DRIVETRAIN: It is equipped with a 455 engine with about 5 miles on it backed by a turbo 400 automatic transmission and a 12 bolt posi rear end with factory boxed control arms and sway bar (we can't confirm gears). The brakes (drum) are new in the back, new wheel cylinders all the way around, all lines bled. The car has 69k original miles on it, and the 455 motor has probably about 5 miles on it. This thing has so much power/torque yet it feels like your floating when driving. We are capable of having this car hauled to you (in the US 48) for $3 per mile plus Lodging/Food expenses up to $125 per day or we will gladly help you load this up if you arrange that yourself. We will also ship intl once funds have cleared. Please feel free to call us with any questions you might have at 636.240.0044 and ask for Art. ** We expect an immediate $500 non refundable deposit via PayPal and balance due within 7 days via wire transfer or cash. ** This vehicle has a CLEAN MO title ** You are responsible for making arrangements to have this shipped if you win the auction (we offer a delivery service too for a fee)

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.

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.
