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.

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant
Wed, 18 Jun 2014If 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.
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.
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.
