For Sale is my 1972 olds Cutlass Convertible. Delaware registered Antique Historic Vehicle.
This car was originally shipped to Canada after it was built in 1972, so it has no factory AC. I bought the car almost 20 years ago from the original owners son (the title was in French!)
Engine is a 350cid with 350 turbo transmission. PS/PB. Engine mods include Hooker headers, Edelbrock alum manifold, Accel HEI distributor, Edelbrock carb and duel snorkel air cleaner (not original to car). Speedometer shows 175624 miles as of this writing.This car has received a full frame off reconditioning approx. 8 years ago. Paint is in good shape with only minor scratches, and a few small dings from normal driving. Paint still has a brilliant shine. This car has been garaged kept and has NEVER seen the rain since its has been painted. I list it as 99% rust free because I'm sure somewhere there might be some rust. Car was rust proofed using Eastwood Co Anti-Rust. The body features a refurbished frame from a 70 donor car, new floors, trunk, Quarter panels, wheel wells, and gas tank. The bumpers feature bumper guards with the rear bumper showing normal fading and patina with no dents. The front bumper is straight but had some small rust damage years ago which was removed and covered (see picture). This car was completely disassembled, parts replaced or reconditioned, and reassembled with the factory assembly guide and Fisher Body Manual as references. Car has bucket seats with console featuring new wood inlay and new PRNDL marker. New gas tank has new straps and sending unit. All fuel lines were replaced, as were the brake lines. Some items replaced include Front Disc Brake calipers, rear brake cylinders, Rear Springs, shocks, front end and sway bar bushings, body mount bushings, radiator, master cylinder, clutch fan was replaced with an electric fan, water pump, heater core, fuel pump, exhaust system, rubber body bumpers, door seals, trunk seals, cowl vent covers, under hood insulation, and some of the seat belts. All wiring was removed and reconditioned. Vehicle has a different steering wheel and grille that I got at swap meets. Car also has rare "clam shell" side mirrors from 70 donor car. Car has factory trunk light and rare lighted rear view mirror (shows some signs of wear but in overall good shape). Front windshield is original w/ antenna wire in glass. Interior also has replacement carpet over Dynomat sound proofing.
The interior is in good shape. The seats were recovered with factory correct covers. The dash is perfect with no fading or cracks. console and shifter look great. Door panels are original with some minor flaws. Glove box was replaced along w/ ashtray.
The engine and transmission are original to the car and did not need rebuilding. Motor runs strong and does not blow or leak oil. Engine has factory oil heater engine plug that warms your oil in the winter! (I have it disconnected but retained the cord). Transmission works fine but has developed a leak at the torque converter seal. I have the seal but did not replace it. Transmission also has aux trans cooler mounted to radiator.
The convertible canvas needs to be replaced. it has gotten dry and brittle over the years. It has good glass in it. The pump motor works great, and the lines were replaced. Pump cylinders are in good working order as is the top frame. The header bow has a small indentation.
The electronics in the car are in good order with few issues. The alternator was replaced with a 120 amp alternator from a Cadillac. Car has a nice Kenwood stereo, new 4" speakers in dash, and 6"mounted in the rear seat panels. Also has subwoofer in trunk. The gauges were all refurbished. The original clock was removed and a Sun Tach was put in its place. there are also additional water and oil gauges mounted under the dash.
All Aluminum trim was machined polished and is in overall good shape.
Plastic lenses for lights were either polished or replaced. All had seals replaced.
Car rides on 15" Rally rims with full size spare on Rally rim in trunk. Tires are BF Goodrich Radial T/A's.
I replaced the starter solenoid with a heavy duty one, and have it heat shielded. Battery is in fair condition and should be replaced. It will turn the car over when cold, but if allowed to heat up over time it doesn't have enough power to turn the motor over.
Included with the sale is a collection of spare parts, Chilton's manual, Factory Assembly manual (reprint), and original Fisher Body Manual. I have some pictures and receipts, but was not the best at keeping track of all the work that was put into this car. I'll be happy to answer any questions you have on the car. I have listed everything I could think of but there may still be more. I have driven and enjoyed this car for many years, and only averaged approx.100 miles a year since the reconstruction.

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?
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.
