1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass (442 Clone) on 2040-cars
Frankfort, Indiana, United States
|
It is a 1972 Olds Cutlass (442 Clone). It has a rebuilt Holley 800 carb (mid June), brand new '72 (period correct) fiberglass ram air hood w/ hood pin assembly (not installed), 3 new '72 SS3 rims (black, period correct), new air cleaner w/ OLDS 442 decal, new interior (leather seats, carpet, hand stitched 442 head rests, see pictures) original wood grain dash w/ original three gauge cluster, sorry no radio. I have a new oil pan and gaskets to replace small crack on old oil pan that leaks oil. I also have a three gauge cluster (aftermarket) w/ coolant temp, oil pressure, and amp meter for under the dash that is hooked up but I do not have the bulbs hooked up to illuminate the gauge cluster (see pictures). Speedo says 66,788 and the previous owner claims it is right, was a show car and southern cruiser (I would cruise in it to because of the 455CID big block in it). It is from the south ever since the car was made in Texas and the owner was from Alabama. It does run and drive, may need to replace brakes in front, and I replaced the master cylinder when I got it. Floor pans are solid (no rot), trunk is solid but does have a hole about 1" x 2", front quarters are solid (no rot), rear quarters are solid (some rust but not totally rotted out, see pictures). Also, the underside was sprayed with rust inhibitor black paint to aid it from rusting. Windshield and rear window (opposite of windshield) are in good shape with no leaks (seem to be original glass all around) and little dusting of rust around the windshield (only in a few places but not rotted out by any means). It has PS, dual exhaust, manual windows, Holley 800 carb, auto trans, new rims and tires, A/C (not hooked up), new fiberglass ram air hood w/ hood pin assembly, new air cleaner, new interior, and 2+ year old paint job, new metallic blue oil pan w/ gaskets and new plug, new 442 grilles (not installed, see pictures). I have new 442 emblems, as well. I have to get rid of this car, no time for family and this car, I have owned this car for four months. The car is SOLD AS-IS. Bid to buy only!

Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Ever 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.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General 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 2014The 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?
