1969 Oldsmobile Hurst Tribute Car on 2040-cars
Parker, Colorado, United States
|
This car was fully restored, inside and out. Finished about two years
ago and only driven approx. 1,000 miles since completed. The body and
paint are awesome, with a light silver metallic base coat and Corvette
red graphics with black pin striping, all covered with clear coat
finish. This is not a 20 foot paint job. This car will make anyone proud
to own and drive and present at car shows. It's capable of being a
daily driver or driving across the country.
The car drives better than it looks and it looks great. Powered by a 455 cubic inch big block with tons of power and a TH400 transmission. To complete the setup is a 12 bolt posi-traction rear end. The engine was restored by Colorado Custom Cylinder Heads. The transmission was also rebuilt and includes a firm shifting, shift kit. It has new headers and new dual exhaust. Also includes new battery, alternator, brake booster and master cylinder, new Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold and new Edelbrock 750CFM carburetor, and a new starter with new spark plug wires, new HEI distributor and a new fuel pump. New front windshield. The engine compartment is extremely clean. No oil leaks. The dual exhaust also sounds awesome. Car has power steering and power front disk brakes that have all been rebuilt, including the drums in the rear. The suspension was also restored with new shocks all the way around, new bushings and new rear coil springs. The alignment is perfect. Tires are all new and size of P235/60 R15. The new, black vinyl interior looks awesome and includes the very important Hurst dual gate, console shifter. The original radio is also installed. The car is an air conditioned car, but the unit has been removed, although I do have it in my possession and it will be included with the sale of the car. All of the plumbing is still present. A truly unique, one of a kind, tribute car that gathers lots of attention wherever it goes. |

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?
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.
