ORIGINAL--ORIGINAL--ORIGINAL

This beautiful Cutlass is truly a survivor--all original and with extremely low miles. It spent most of its life in dry, dry Texas, garaged, therefore NO RUST ANYWHERE, EVER! (It has only been in the northeast a short time.) All indications are the mileage is original also, only 50,300. Study the pictures: everything is as it left the factory (the matching wheels will be put back before delivery; the white ones on the car in the pictures are off my other Cutlass convertible. I put them on this car because I took it to a local show.) I have two Cutlass convertibles; the other one is a 1970; starting with an original car and has been restored to a very high standard. I only take it to shows and I am uncomfortable driving it on the street, unlike my 1972 that you are looking at now. The 1972 is an incredible car--it is a survivor and everything is original--drive it anywhere. The car is beautiful and commands a lot of attention wherever I go. There are dozens of nicks, dings and scrapes, and it still looks fantastic (see the pictures: 2 slight dents, left front fender behind headlight and right side below factory body side molding behind the rear wheel.) The paint is almost entirely original. The chrome and stainless steel is great. The dash is perfect, door panels are great (except drivers' side arm rest/strap.) Glass is great. Top is very nice, works perfectly (1 tiny fixable cut above right rear window.) The seats are very nice but the bottom of the drivers' seat should be replaced (OPG has a complete original replacement cover set for under $500.) Look at the trunk floor, original--even the factory splatter paint is still there. The engine and transmission are perfect. Best of all, it runs and drives like you would expect a 50,000 mile car to. If you want a rust-free, totally original survivor, give my Cutlass some consideration--you will not be disappointed.

I have the original matching tonneau cover. It is in excellent condition.

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.

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?
