     I am selling off a few of my cars in my collection, and this has to be the toughest one to sell. I had bought this 442 from a local man some time ago, and he had purchased it from Texas. Over the past 10 years it has had a good amount of work done to it to get it looking like it does now. The 350 motor was rebuilt 6-7 years ago, under 5000 miles on both the motor and trans. The motor has a little head work, little bigger cam ( nice sound) intake and carb done also. The motor I was told is around 325 horsepower, give or take some. The trans has a shift kit that shifts nicely and will chirp 2nd and 3rd if you wanted to. The car drives stock and drives perfectly, disc brakes with new brake lines, new rear brakes 5000 miles ago also with newer brakes lines. The top was new 5 years ago and has a small tear on the drivers side from the top cylinder not working right? But now has a new top pump, new top lines and new top cylinders. I did not fix the top hole because I never have the top up, only driven on nice days.

  The car also has 15 442 wheels on her, newer gas tank, sending unit, fuel lines, new rear bumper with new tail lights new grills, newer exhaust with flow masters, interior is very nice, no cracks on dash, seats are perfect, all seat belts are working as they should, all lights in dash and interior work as they should. The car has Air condition that blows cold, have factory am radio that will go with the car ( has after market cd now not my doing) have a restored factory 442 air cleaner for the car ( not on because it has a hei system). The majority of this work was done 6 - 7 years ago, paint, brake lines, hoses, motor trans and so on. Who ever is lucky enough to buy this car will get alot of thumbs up and enjoyment driving, and will never leave you on the side of the road. I have never had a issue with it.   There is a  payoff through my credit union..Very easy to take care of. I have sold a lot of cars with payoffs and on ebay and never had a issue. 


On Mar-02-14 at 19:16:10 PST, seller added the following information:

   Just listed this 25 minutes ago and I have 5 questions already. 1..I do not have any build sheet or documentation, I bought this car to drive and enjoy. 

  2.The paint is a 8.5 or so and was done again around 7 years ago..Never been wet sanded or buffed.
 3. The car came from Texas and is a really solid vehicle.
  4. I cannot take trade in's at this time..Thanks 
  5. Windows go up and down with no issues at all..It has been sitting for 4 months and started right up today.. Thanks..
   In 72 442 was a option package, this has everything I can see that you could get..Being sold as a Cutlass as I cannot prove it is a 442 package?

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.

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.
