1968 Cutlass 442 Conv....442 on 2040-cars
Bayside, New York, United States
|
Here in this listing we have a 1968 Cutlass 442 Conv. This is a recent barn find. Been in storage for many years. The car is pretty solid with NO rot or rust through anywhere. It does have some surface rust(see pics). The car will need to be finished being restored. I started and have all the hard stuff done. Here is what is done so far. The motor is a complete fresh rebuild. Numbers matching!!!! I have all the paper work from a local engine builder. The front end was all rebuilt. New suspension, bearings, new rubber, ball joints, shocks, springs etc... All new brake drums, wheel cylinders, shoes and hardware. The rear end has all new bearings and all new brake hardware. New wheel cylinders, shoes,drums, etc.... It has a brand new gas tank and sending unit installed. It has a new heater core installed. I spent a lot of money on the car so far. It does need to be finished. It needs to be painted. It doesn't look horrible just old and some surface rust here and there. It needs a new top. It has 2 rips in it. The seats are in good shape as you can see in the pics. The rug is just dirty and can be cleaned up. The dash is in good shape. I just spent $600 on the new radio. Looks factory stock but has am/fm and ipod hookup. The floors, trunk floor and frame are all rust free. The is NO holes to be repaired. The body is pretty solid. I am sure there is bodywork on the car but from what I can tell it looks straight and doesn't look like there was any major work done. No signs of any accidents that I can see. Fenders, doors, quarters all look solid. It looks like it will be an easy paint job... the car is pretty straight. I am sure I am missing something in the description so I am sure there will be questions. Call me at 347-622-3985 Leave a message I will get back to you and answer any and all questions. I tried to describe the car the best I can. I am only human so I am sure there is something I missed. I also don't know the full history on the car because I have not had it that long. I started the resto and don't have the cash to finish. My daughter is getting ready for college in September and this car has to go. I will have to get another one after college....then probably after the wedding. LOL... I will always suggest to come see the car in person. If you can't make it in person send someone here to do it for you. there are company's out there that will do a great job and cheap. This way there is NO complaints or surprises when you get the car. I have 100% feedback and strive to keep it that way. This car is being sold AS IS with NO warranties implied or given. I also reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells locally before auction end. I will also accept reasonable offers. Just NO low ball offers. Good luck and Happy bidding!!!! |

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant
Wed, 18 Jun 2014If 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.
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?
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.
