RK Motor Company, Highspire PA A real barn find... 1980 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser Wagon in Dark Blue Metallic Paint, original, small scratches and dings, with original Tan Cloth Seats- Full Front Bench Seat, equipped with a 5.7L Diesel Engine. We took the vehicle away from its resting place and took the time to get it running. New batteries were replaced (2), diesel fuel was added and we took our time to get this blast from the past started, and it did! Please, I repeat please! Understand that this vehicle has been owned by the previous owner on 10-04-1983 and it was last driven in 1986, the PA State Inspection Sticker along with PennDOT registration showing 1986 as the last year driven. The car has 87,150 miles since new and it had 51,000 on it when the previous owner bought it back in 1983. Note: The car was covered and shielded from weather, but there was 26 years of dust on top of it when we pulled it out. As you can see now, with very minimal damage it is actually a nice time capsule. Yes the car ran! for well over 30 minutes, all the fluids were checked prior, and were topped off prior to starting. The vehicle will need exhaust work, drivers side tail pipe. it will also need a fuel tank due to leaking. Replacement tanks are still available either GM or aftermarket. As you look at the pictures, you will be amazed at how nice she is. The tires are radial white striped and are not dry rotted, and continue to hold air. Everything inside the car operates as it should, and again with very little wear! The previous owner has a supply of replacement air filters and two extra pair of shock absorbers that come with the car. The original owners manual and repair bills are included also. Again, as it was back then in the 80's, this Cutlass Cruiser Wagon equipped with the 5.7L Diesel would make a great ride to the shows, or just out for ice cream.
PLEASE NOTE: ADDITIONAL PICTURES OF THIS CAR WILL BE ADDED ASAP, THANK YOU
If you would have any questions regarding this 1980 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser please contact Ron Klingler, RK Motor Company 717-939-8700. Serious Inquiries Only please.

After many many calls, I want to make you aware that you are getting a rare find in this condition. Additional photos have been added and made larger for you to critique the subject. Again this is a barn find, it is going to need the once over, filters, gaskets, fluids replaced, brake system examination, it is NOT a turn key drive it home. I personally took the time to listen to the vehicle run after a 27+ year rest. You decide what you want to do with this vehicle, either restore, or custom modify its up to you. But the opportunities are endless!

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The 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.
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?
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.
