Up for auction is one 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass SX.  Supreme body with 442 options.  I have owned this car since August 4, 1991.  Right after purchase, I removed the original 455 and 400 trans and replaced it with a high performance 455 that I had been building.  The motor is bored 30 over with all the goodies.  11:1 compression.  It is an "F" block with 1972 W30 "GA" heads.  The trans is a 3 speed 400 turbo hydromatic with a shift kit and 2600 stall converter, and a 3:91 rearend gear.  The motor is not pretty, but it is fast and powerful.

I have all the receipts and paperwork (engine receipts, owners manual, Protect-O-Plate, Colorado pollution inspection slips from original owners) for everything.  The car was in Colorado as late as 1989 according to the paperwork I have.  After I had it a couple years, I found the original build sheet above the gas tank.  It is a genuine SX model.  Option Y79.  The only thing the car is missing is the dual gate shifter.

The interior is all very nice, and in the condition it was in when I bought the car.  It has always been garaged and kept dry in the almost 22 years I have owned it.  Fluids always kept fresh.  The vinyl top is in excellent condition without any rust bubbles under it.  The body flaws are shown in the pics. 

The motor probably only has about 5000 total miles on it since I have owned it.  Last summer I rebuilt the Holley 750 dual feed with all new gaskets, power valves, needles and seats.  Also, new gas tank sending unit and sway bar links.  New coil springs, shocks and A frame bushings were installed when I bought the car.  I also have a set of OEM exhaust trumpets and trunk weather stripping that were never installed.  It drives and rides great.

ALL original parts (motor, trans, AC unit, brackets, radiator, spare tire, jack, etc.) are included in this sale.  Since this is a special model car, I DO NOT want to separate it from it's original equipment.  As it sits right now, it could be put back to original.  What you do with the car and parts once it leaves me is up to you, but this auction includes everything.

Please email with any questions you might have, and I highly recommend looking at the car before bidding.  Upon completion of the auction, I would like a down payment of $1000 via Paypal within 24 hours.  The rest of payment in cash or Bank cashiers check upon pick up of the car within 7 days. Thanks for the interest.

 


On Mar-21-13 at 22:20:47 PDT, seller added the following information:

It could use a serpentine belt system.  The belt tends to get a little glazed after hot rodding around.  It also could use new header collector gaskets.  I didn't get to it before the weather turned.

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.

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?

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.
