I AM LISTING THIS 442 FOR THE SECOND TIME WITH BETTER PICTURES AND DESCRIPTION. I ORIGINALLY LISTED IT IN "AS FOUND" CONDITION. MANY PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS A PARTS CAR OR ASKED FOR A LIST OF PARTS THAT CAME WITH THE CAR.
I PURCHASED THIS 442 FROM AN ESTATE. IT HAD BODY DAMAGE IN THE 1970'S AND HAS BEEN PARKED EVER SINCE. THE ODOMETER READS 38,000 MILES WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE CORRECT. IT NEEDS COMPLETE RESTORATION.
ALONG WITH THIS 1965 442 I GOT TWO PARTS CARS (ALSO WITH BODY DAMAGE) A 1964 CUTLASS 2D HARDTOP AND A 1965 F85 4D WAGON. I HOPED A LOCAL BUYER WOULD BUY THE 442 AND PICK THE EXTRA PARTS THEY WANTED. IT WAS TOO DIFFICULT TO LIST THE EXACT REPLACEMENT PARTS, SO I BOLTED ON THE MAJOR PIECES TO MAKE THE 442 PRESENTABLE. THE MAIN PARTS I INSTALLED WERE THE RIGHT FRONT FENDER, HOOD, GRILL AND FRONT BUMPER.
THE BUYER WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER PANEL, REAR BUMPER AND RIGHT FRONT FENDER TRIM. THERE IS RUST ON THE LEFT REAR QUARTER PANEL WHICH WILL REQUIRE A PATCH PANEL.
WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IT WAS MISSING THE FACTORY VIN TAG ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR PILLAR. I HAD THE ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT VIN INSPECTOR LOOK AT THE CAR AND RUN A 50 STATE INSPECTION OF THE VIN NUMBER TO CHECK FOR ANY THEFT OR ANYONE WITH THIS VIN NUMBER REGISTERED. NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND. I ALSO UNBOLTED THE BODY ALONG THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND RAISED IT UP FROM THE FRAME FOR HER TO INSPECT THE SECONDARY VIN STAMPED INTO THE FRAME. I HAVE ORDERED A REPRODUCTION VIN TAG TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL ON THE DOOR PILLAR. I WILL INSTALL THIS FOR THE BUYER OR DELIVER IT ALONG WITH THE CAR TO BE INSTALLED AFTER PAINTING.
ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS STORED OUTSIDE, IT WAS COVERED WITH METAL ROOF PANELS AND HAS NO RUST ON THE FLOORS OR TRUNK.
THIS 442 WAS WELL EQUIPPED WITH THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS:
POWER STEERING
POWER BRAKES
POWER TOP
POWER ANTENNA
AUTOMATIC TRUNK RELEASE
WOOD GRAIN STEERING WHEEL
TILT WHEEL
4 SPEED
TACHOMETER
I DO HAVE 4 OF THE ORIGINAL HUB CAPS BUT NOT THE ORIGINAL WHEELS.
THIS IS A TRUE 442 - NOT A CLONE.
PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE AND I WILL ANSWER TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.
I DO HAVE THIS 442 LISTED FOR SALE LOCALLY AND RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION AT ANY TIME.

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.
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.
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.
