Selling a daily driven project I've had for the past couple of months.  Have driven regularly back and forth to work and never let me down.  Currently registered and driveable and I do take it out on occasion.  Only selling because I don't have the time to finish this car the way that I would have wanted.  Car is from Arizona so it is a very rust free car with the exception of the driver and passenger needing about an 8 inch by 8 inch patch and surface rust that needs to be sanded out.  Other than that it is a very rust free and straight car.  Never been in any serious accidents and has a clean clear title.  Has had some body work done so a little bondo where the paint doesn't match but again nothing serious wrong here.  Has nice Crager Mags with good tires as well.  Paint on the car is not the best but with a little touch up would be okay just as a 20 footer driver car.  Almost all the interior is there in the car so you can just recover what is there.  Does need a headliner.  Rear seats are in decent shape and if wanted would be reusable.  Engine is brand new and only has around 2k miles on it.  Mileage on the body is unknown but the engine was rebuilt by a shop in California called auto mod racing.  Car does run and drive great, Has a two speed transmission that does need some work but I do not believe needs to be rebuilt.  It will rev up in-between the shift and I believe just needs the vacuum modulator replaced.  Pretty cheap part located on the outside of the transmission.  With everything said you are bidding on a straight, original f-85 cutlass that would be a great candidate for a restoration.

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.

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.

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.
