1966 Olds 442. Was originally Lucerne Mist (Blue) with deluxe blue interior with reclining passenger bucket seat and power antenna. Original automatic, A/C car with 3:23 locking rear end. You don't see those options very often in 1966 cars. Has had a 1970 Olds 455 from a 442 in it for quite awhile. I was told it ran when parked. You'll want to rebuild it anyway. The 70 Olds 455 was rated around 365 - 400 hp from the factory. This will be a beautiful screamer when properly restored. All the documentation is provided below and in the pics.

The body is straight but the car has rust in all 4 corners. The front floor pans and the trunk will need to be replaced. There is also rust in the corners of the front and rear glass. Most of the replacement panels you will need can be found online in the usual places. You may need a donor car for the trunk weatherstrip channels.

All the glass is good except for the windshield.

2 of the wheel wells have rust and so does the radiator support. It will have to be replaced. The frame is solid.

All the interior and interior trim is there with the car but the seats will need to be recovered, headliner, carpet, etc. The seats are original. Someone has just covered over the headrests and disconnected the recliner.

The stainless trim is all there and straight. Just needs to be polished.

Both bumpers are good. They have a couple dings that need to be hammered out and rechromed.

There is no title. Alabama law does not require a title for vehicles 35+ years old. Car will come with a bill of sale.

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.

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.
