Real and correct 1965 Oldsmobile 442 roller good for a drag project, or for parts. The frame, rear end, front suspension, and sway bars are all in good shape. When I purchased the car it had not been registered since the 1990s, was parked for many years, but it did run and drive. The last owner went through the painstaking process of bringing the car back to life in the California DMV's system, and it is currently registered non op status - pink slip in hand.

ROLLER PROJECT.

CAR DOES NOT COME WITH AN ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, INTERIOR, BUMPERS, OR EXTERIOR TRIM.

CAR DOES COME AS A BODY/FRAME, FRONT/REAR SUSPENSION, STEERING, WHEELS/TIRES

-Front-end components, and rear-end in good shape

-Rear window and driver/passenger glass ok - no front windshield
-Originally a light green car with green interior and a power split bench

-Protectoplate in hand

The car now has the front clip, hood, trunk, bumpers, all trim, windshield removed, and is ready for prep/paint.

No warranty expressed or implied. Local pick-up, or Buyer to arrange and pay for any/all shipping costs. I am readily available to answer any questions through email.

MANY PEOPLE HAVE EMAILED ASKING ID THIS IS A REAL 442. IN 1965, 442S PRODUCED IN FREMONT DID NOT HAVE THE "4V" DESIGNATION ON THE VIN PLATE - CARS PRODUCED IN LANSING DID. HERE IS AN ARTICLE ON THIS:

http://442restoration.homestead.com/65specs.html

1965 442S ALSO HAD 4 BOLT HOLES TO CONNECT THE REAR CONTROL ARM - NON 442S ONLY HAD ONE HOLE. I HAVE INCLUDED ADDITIONAL PICTURES SHOWING THE FRONT AND REAR SWAY BARS AS WELL AS THE REAR CONTROL ARM BOLT HOLES. HOPES THIS ELIMINATES ANY CONFUSION.

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.

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.
