Brandon, Florida, United States

This auction is for a 1984 Cutlass Hurst Olds.  This is a real W40 car.  This car is missing some parts but runs and drives around the yard or to load on a trailer.  It is not drivable on the road as it is.  This car, I believe has the original 307 engine in it still.  This car was optioned pretty good.  From the factory this car had:   Tilt steering, Power bucket seat, PW, P locks, 3.73 open rear end, A/C, and T-tops.  This car has the typical Florida car rust.  It is very rusty around the T-tops and rear window.  It also has rust at the base of the 'A' pillars.  The frame is good and the floors are solid.  The trunk floor is not bad with just a few very small holes in it.  The spare tire well is good.  This car is basically complete but it is missing some parts as follows:  The ends of the spoiler are missing, I don't have the rear window, the air cleaner is missing, the console door is missing, the drivers door is missing the door glass.  There may be a few other small items missing but mostly the car is complete with the exceptions of the items I just listed.  The engine runs good and doesn't smoke.  The transmission goes into reverse and forward but I have driven it any faster than first gear.  The Lighting Rod Shifters are all there.  The front clip of this car was taken off by the former owner and it is now loosely bolted back on.  I have a lot more pictures of this car which I will post in the next day or two.  This car would be a good car to restore.  I don't know what car number this car is.  I am researching it now and if I find out that info before the end of the auction I will post it.  This car has a clear Florida tittle.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General 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.

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.

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.
