OK...Here's the deal. I have decided to locate a new caretaker for my 1970 Rallye 350 Cutlass. I have owned this car since 2000. Presently the car is not tagged and has been in my garage since 2002. the car runs very strong moves around ok but needs 4 wheel alignment and the exhaust finished to be road worthy. I will break down what has been done one area at a time. engine: 1969 455 bored 30 over crank turned 10/10 factory Reconditined rods Speedpro 9.8 to 1 comp forged pistons. "C" factory cast heads, three angle valve job, Mondello 512/523 lift, 110 centerline cam, custom length pushrods, 1.6 ratio steel roller tip rockers. New HEI billet aluminum distributor. Edelbrock performer 455 with Barry grant demon 750cfm carb. Exhaling through. W-30 dual exhaust manifolds. Magnaflow stainless steel 2.5 in pipes. The numbers match original 350 motor also goes with the car. It was removed still running with about 8 psi of oil pressure at idle. Transmission is a Muncie m-20 4 speed that has been rebuilt, the shifter mechanism was also rebuilt by Hurst in Carson City, NV. Rear: 12 bolt Olds rear 3:42 posi rebuilt. W-27 reproduction rear cover. Suspension: PST front end re built, rear suspension Hotchkiss upper and lower control arms (adjustable). Brake system: front disc and rear drum completely re built stainless steel brake lines throughout. Body/frame: All body mount bushings have been replaced, frame was sand blasted and painted with POR 15 chassis black. The rest of the body is pretty much untouched by me. Factory hood and wing (not reproductions). It has had quarter panels installed at some point, I believe it is the second paint job on car. Paint is far from perfect but cruisable. Interior: Essentially original condition, dash pad has some minor cracks, drivers seat cover in bad shape, rest is not terrible.

This is the second round on ebay for this listing, the million dollar question seemed to be if this is a original 4 speed car? I can say I have no official documentation proving it a 4-speed, however it has been a 4 speed since I purchased it. Everything that should be there to make it a four speed is there and functional ie: reverse lockout correct speedo console and shifter. (I know it should have a black ball but I prefer white ppppffftt!) All joking aside, this is a really nice driver quality car. I have just lost the passion for the car and it deserves a more interested owner. I welcome anyone who wishes to see the car during the auction to contact me. Last time around I answered a lot of questions and there was huge interest in the car. Reserve is reasonably set at $15000. I will not take a penny less....just the way it is. Rare opportunity at owning a rare car that can be driven the way it was built to drive. Any questions I will do my best to answer fast, you can call me at 302.423.5998 Scott Jones. Thanks for looking folks.

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.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

The 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?
