Up for auction is my 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass S series 2 door coupe. The story on the car: I began looking for a cutlass a couple of years back and stumbled across this car. the car has two registered owners, myself and the original owners. The guy that I purchased the car from bought it at an estate auction while he was on a fishing trip. he took the car home and parked it but never transferred it into his name. he hoped to restore the car to new condition but never got around to it, so I purchased it from him and took all of the paperwork that he had on the car, which included a bill of sale, the original title that was issued in early 1972, along with the death certificates of the original owners (so it could be legally sold through the estate). When I transferred the car into my name, I kept the original title, so I still have it and it will go with the car.

To the best of my knowledge, the car is a numbers matching, original paint, original interior car. I would expect that any buyer would verify everything possible (I am also willing to check on various things on the car to confirm/answer any questions). the car has some surface rust behind the rear wheels, primarily on the passenger side of the car. it has some small rock chips across the front of the hood, a small dent in the passenger door and is missing a decal on the drunk. overall, for the car to be in original condition from 1971 it is in amazing condition. with the exception of a slight hesitation when taking off from a dead stop, the car drives like new. no rattles shakes shimmies, it doesn't pull. it drives great. during the summer months I drive it back and forth to work here and there, which is about 35 miles.

when I purchased the car it had the original steel wheels with the white wall tires on, that show in one of the pictures from the day that I purchased the car. the tires were cracked and in terrible shape, so I put new tires and wheels on the car so I could drive it around without the worry of blowing a tire and taking out a fender. The car has a rocket 350 auto tranny and air conditioning, power steering. the original steel wheels, covers and white wall tires come with the car.

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.

Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

Ever 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.
