This is a 1971 Cutlass S post. It is a pretty clean project car w/factory power discs brakes in the front. The original color of the car was Antique Briar. I was going to change it into a Rallye 350 clone, etc then I realized that a baby was on the way and it has to go! It doesn't have much rust, but it will need quarter patches on each side, rust repair around the rear glass (it's pretty bad), a small bit of surface rust above the driver door on the roof and a small patch in the floor pan behind the driver seat. I had gutted the car since I assumed I was going to restore it, so the inside is completely gone down to the floor pans. It does not have door panels, weatherstripping, or carpet, but it still comes with the factory bench seat and rear seat. It has a factory AM radio w/fm converter, which still worked last time I had the car running. It is clock delete, has a working factory power trunk release and it has some new "S" door panel emblems which are pretty hard to find, as well as some good used inside post trim. I had removed the rear glass stainless trim for the pictures but it is included. It's a 350 Olds/TH350 transmission combo. It has an Edelbrock aluminum intake and Holley carb. The car ran a year or so ago (the last time I tried to crank it), but I haven't tried to crank it since then. The brakes do not currently work, as I think there is a hole in one of the lines so you will have it hauled away. Not to mention the taillights are gone anyway. All in all a great project if you are looking for a good drag car (post cars are considerably lighter than hardtops) or car to clone into a 442. The car is rolling on some late 70's Buick rims and tires just to move it around the garage and it comes with a set of 15" Olds rallye II rims that came with the car in the trunk. Keep in mind this is a 42 year old car and is not perfect, so bid accordingly. No reserve! Thanks for looking and happy bidding!

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.

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?

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.
