|
IF YOU HAVE LESS THEN 25 FEEDBACK PLEASE CONTACT US BY PHONE PRIOR TO BIDDING. SORRY TO BE THIS WAY BUT WE TAKE OUR AUCTIONS SERIOUSLY AND WANT YOU TO DO THE SAME. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ASK BEFORE YOU BID. This auction is for a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass S with 442 Trim Package.Cranberry metallic with white interior Just to be up front I can not guarantee that this is an actual 442. I did a little research in my American car catalogue and it states that 1971 was the last year you could decode the VIN to find out if you had a factory 442. In 1972 they were Cutlass S Models, came standard with a 350 engine (455 was optional) and the 442 was just an appearence / handling package only. This car does have 442 items including front and rear stabilizer bars and rear boxed trailering arms. So to be safe this is a Cutlass with 442 trim. Overall this is a real decent car that just needs minor cosmetic TLC to make it road ready for the upcoming spring. It came in trade from the prior owner who had the car approx 6 years. It was stored for the past 2 years pending a divorce. It has the correct 350 Rocket Motor that was rebuilt a few years back. Runs very nice. It has a mild cam and has a nice rumble to it. Has an EdelBrock Aluminum intake, 750 Carb, Chrome valve covers and breather. Just needs a little detailing under the hood from sitting. Automatic Trans, Power Steering, Power Front Disc Brakes and 10 Bolt Single Trac Rear. I did notice the brake pedal felt a tad spongey. May be due to some new brake lines being installed and the system not being bled properly. Looks like traditional style mufflers made by Cherry Bomb. Complete dual exhaust system is new and still shiney. Must have been installed just before the car was stored. The underside of the car appears to be quite solid. Looks like it has all its original floorpans. I did notice on the passenger side another pan was put into place on the underside. Had to really look to see it. If I had to guess there may be a spot on the top original pan and they installed this to seal it up but it looks fine and does not bother the integrity of the floor.Frame is in excellant condition. Appears to have had a new fuel tank, new shocks and some new brake lines. Has a fairly fresh set of Radial GT Tech 5,000 Tires mounted on Aluminum American Racers. Fronts are 235/60 15, Rears are 275/60 15. The interior is in real decent condition. Has bucket seats with console with His/Hers Hurst Shifter and correct console shifter plate. Dash pad is in nice shape no cracks or damage. Does have a carpet cover on it to protect from the sun. Has a Pioneer Super Tuner WMA/MP3/AAC CD Player. Speakers are also Pioneer mounted in the rear shelf. There is a big face Mallory Tach mounted on a swivel. The guage cluster was not disturbed or cut. It is missing the ash tray door. All guages, lights, turn signals, heater wipers, etc work. Headliner is in good shape. Carpets are all good but a little sun fade in places. The body on the car is reasonably straight and solid. Doors open and close great, car has power windows and they work fine. There are a couple of areas that need minor attention. The bottom of the passenger front fender has a small break out and the drivers door bottom outer edge has some bubbling across it. Both look like a fairly easy fix (see pics). Everything else is nice and solid on the car. There is also a small dent on the drivers side front of the hood (see pics). Bumpers are in decent shape. Front one looks new. Back one is solid but has some light peppering throughout. Take a couple of weekends to do the cosmetics and a once over on the car and you will be enjoying your new ride. Its getting hard to find reasonably priced muscle cars with what cars are selling for these days. As far as I am concerned this one is very affordable for whats out there. The car is for sale locally so we reserve the right to end the auction early. If the car meets the reserve we will let the auction run to the end to be fair to everyone. PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU CANNOT FOLLOW THRU. We expect a $500 dollar non refundable deposit within 24 hours of auctions end. Balance due 3 days after. We have a current NH reg transfered to us and our proper dealer paper work that you will receive should you need a title in your state If you need more pics or info call 207-324-5568 days or 207-432-2862 eves and sundays |

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.
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?
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.
