1965 Oldsmobile Cutless F-85 Coupe on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, North Carolina, United States
|
I bought the Cutlass from my neighbor a few years ago as a project car for my son and I. Since then we have tinkered with the car from time to time but the interest is just not there anymore. The car stays in the garage and I take it out every once in a while. The car is very solid. The frame and undercarriage is in great shape. The windows roll up and down just fine. When we first started working on the car, we had the suspension redone and we added front disc brakes and a power booster. We also added a new four barrel carburetor and a nice set of tires and Rocket wheels (8 inch in the back and 7 inch in the front). The engine runs extremely well and it has a nice exhaust system (great muscle car sound). When I bought the car my neighbor already had the rebuilt Olds 425 V8 installed and the automatic transmission rebuilt. The engine and the transmission perform extremely well. The engine does have a noise that sounds like a valve rattle when I accelerate hard, such as getting out in traffic or revving it up but it stops when I let off the gas slightly. The interior needs to be redone to include carpet, seat covers and headliner. The dash board is in great shape. All the rubber weather strips need to be replaced. The body is in very good shape with very little rust. The trunk pan is pretty solid with exception of a couple relatively small places that need to be cut out and replaced. As you can see in the pictures, some of the chrome trim is off the car. I took the trim off because I was going to have the body finished and painted without all that trim to give the car a cleaner look. However, I still have all the trim and it goes with the car. As you can also see in the pictures, the bumpers are straight and in very good condition. I purchased the bumpers from a fellow out in Oklahoma. The bumpers that were on the car when I bought it were not in good shape at all. I believe I have described the car as best I can. If you have questions, please feel free to email me.

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.
Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The 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.
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?
