1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible on 2040-cars
|
This 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Convertible was purchased by its original owner at Jim Letts Oldsmobile on Peachtree St in Atlanta GA in 1969 it then spent the next 44 years in Buford GA in the same family until it was sold to me by the original owners grandson About the hunt …… I spent over a year searching for a 1969 Cutlass convertible. I past on at least half a dozen cars before my friend who lives in Atlanta, saw this car in the owners garage and stopped to inquire for me. It wasn’t for sale at the time. After speaking to the owner’s family for months trying to get them to sell me this car. I discovered that this car was maintained from new by the same mechanic… yes this mechanic started working on this car when he was 18 years old and continued servicing it for the next 40 plus years, turns out he went from shop gofer to owner in that time span.. I spoke to him before purchase and he confirmed everything the owners claimed. What that really attracted me to this particular one? The best way to describe this car is as an Original Honest Southern car. It is unmolested in every way, no one has modified it or changed it, just preserved it for years of trouble free enjoyment. I have original owners manual and warranty card. Features 350 Rocket Engine Quadrajet 4bbl Carburetor. A/C car blows cold Bucket seats and column shift.. Interior is a time capsule.. all original upholstery, minimal wear. Original GM deluxe seat belts I added a reproduction GM Deluxe seat belt in back to safely secure a child seat for cruise nights. I have original belt Car was repainted in its original Glade Green factory color in mid 80’s from what original owners family recalls, It is showing its age Power top was leaking from the pistons when I got it, so I pulled the top cylinder bolts which allow the top to raise and lower manually. The top material is pulling away from the seams by the door frames, probably can be sewn at an upholstery/top shop 4 wheel well moldings not installed but included in sale Even though this is a southern car it does have surface rust in the lower corners. Trunk is rock solid, as is trunk drop downs, floors super solid. I replaced the 215/75/14 tires and original hubcaps that were on the car at purchase with a set of SSII (14x6) wheels which I had soda blasted and painted in the correct Argent Grey color and 4 new 225/70/14 Cooper Cobra radials, they have less than 200 miles on them. Both sets of wheels and tires go with the car. I recently have had a full tune up, all new seals and gaskets installed, engine cleaned and detailed. I added the 442 grilles, replaced the old dull T3 Headlights with 4 new sealed bulbs New Bosch battery with 3 year warranty installed March ‘14 brakes serviced, with new shoes and cylinders. Brake flush, wheel alignment New gas shocks Lifetime warranty form Mavis Tire on all work. Overall this is a truly amazing preserved original southern car, one that you can get in and drive anywhere, and if one chooses down the road give it the full restoration it deserves. Car is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end auction early. I will assist buyer with shipping. I require $1000 deposit made by paypal within 24hrs of auction end, transaction must be completed within 3 days. New York State does not issue titles for cars prior to 1973, so the car will be sold on a bill of sale and signed registration card. |

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.
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.
