This is a beautiful, original 1964 Oldsmobile F 85 Cutlass Deluxe Sport Coupe. It is a true survivor that has several rare options, including the 330 cubic inch engine, factory air conditioning, power windows, and bucket seats. The car runs and drives out well, having just 127,000 original miles. It even has the original key with the logo on it!

Look at the pictures and you will see the car has been pampered, even the dash pad looks like new! You can see the owner kept a cover over the dash, which saved it from the elements. The interior and seats are just as nice, as you can see in the pictures.

The car is tastefully pinstriped, with the "Rock On" theme above the rear wheels, which matches the custom Idaho license plates. The owner's fIrst names are pinstriped on the doors, however with the original paint underneath, any enthusiast or detailer could easily remove them, and it would never show.

Only thing I found not working on the car was that the AC belt is removed, so the system will need to be converted from R-12, to make the AC work again. (That, and while holding the fuzzy dice back to photograph the dash, I broke the string to one of the dice!)

Note the factory air cleaner with the original decal of "Ultra High Compression". Things like that are only original once.

This is a rare find, an original rust free California car having had just three owners. It was sold new to a woman in San Jose, California, then owned briefly by another party. I am selling this car for my friend Danny, who has owned the car for the last 28 years. He and his wife loved and enjoyed the car, and it shows. They are downsizing and moving, so a few of their vehicles are for sale.

I've known Danny since I was a kid. To show you how he takes care of his stuff, one of the pictures shows his one owner, original, 1974 Chevrolet pickup in the background. That has even less miles, and will soon be for sale as well.

The Oldsmobile is located in Priest River, Idaho. You are encouraged to ask any questions, or make an offer on the car. If you would rather deal directly with Danny, I will send you his information. We will ship the car, with all costs to be paid for by the buyer. The car is being sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied.

A deposit of $200 is due within 24 hours of the sale ending. Once the remainder of the payment is made, we will assist in getting the car to downtown Priest River, so your shipper can easily load the car and go.

Please email or call with questions. I can be reached Pacific time at 503-551-8189.

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?

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.

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.
