If you are in the market to build a great muscle car, this one is worth a second look. This car was intended to be a 442 clone. Unfortunately finances has ended my hopes and I must sell. I purchased in '09 for $6000. The under side of car was in excellent shape, it had a new top , new floor covering, and new seat coverings.I have invested over $8000 more into car, hoping to complete car for around $18,000. I was having college do painting and body work, no charge except for parts and materials. 


Unfortunately I have not been able to come up with receipts for all the work done, mostly Napa on auto parts. Just to list a few items; 2 new rear quarter panels(put on),new  fiberglass rear spoiler, new fiberglass OAI hood,new front and rear bumpers(rear with exhaust cutouts), new brakes, new master cylinder, new shocks, dual exhaust and headers, small over sized cam, electronic ignition, rebuilt Edelbrock 4 barrel carb, new battery, wiring, hoses and cables under hood, rebuilt alternator, new transmission and brake lines, and so much more, i just can't remember.

The car has a strong 350 Rocket with 350 Turbo tranny, power steering, power windows, power with front disc brakes, positive track rear end, and high performance Oldsmobile heads. I  also have extra parts, original hood(still on car), original bumpers with fixtures and brackets mounted on them, headlight bezels, wheel center caps, new rear tail lenses, and more.

Not sure what is all needed, but a few things; 1 hydraulic cylinder for convertible top, inner door liners, front grille, and rubber window gaskets. The car originally had air conditioning, but has no compressor, probably could get if wanted. I was going to replace both lower fender panels, trunk lid, and passenger door skin. The trunk lid has a little rust through close to the edge around the lock area and the passenger door has a little rust through toward the lower front, which could be easily filled.

The engine runs and sounds great, just needs a loving new owner to get it on the road. If have any questions, need more pictures, or want to check it out, let me know!

Thanks, Larry

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If 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 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.

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.
