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.

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.

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.

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If you have a need to relive the 1970s, then here is the vehicle for you. This groovy blast from the past is a 1976 GMC Motorhome currently for auction in Florida on eBay Motors, and it is one green machine - just not in the modern sense.
The seller claims that this beast has had just two owners and has covered a mere 61,308 miles in its decades on the road. It's reportedly never been restored or repainted and comes with all of the necessary books and manuals. A 7.5-liter (455-cubic-inch) Oldsmobile V8 with a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission powering the front wheels propels this far-out RV, and the double set of rear wheels out back use a self-leveling air suspension to provide a cushy ride.
The purported low miles and good condition really make this GMC a stand out, though. The exterior combination of lime stripes and beige with just a touch of green is like nothing else on the road today. Plus, the polished bumpers and wheels make it all pop. Inside, it's even better with monochromatic green upholstery and shag carpet. It features everything you'd ever need on a long trip, including a bathroom, kitchenette and lots of seating. The only hint of modernization is an HD TV next to the stove, but its size is a perfect fit for the hole there.
