This 442 belonged to my wife's sister's husband, long story but I purchased it from him after it had sat in a garage since around 1983/84. I did the restore on it and painted it back to the factory colors. I am by no means a professional body man but the vehicle is very presentable. It does have a few slight nicks and such as I used it as a daily driver for a couple of years except in winter weather. I can pretty much document that milage is correct and has not turned over. New quarter panels where installed along with lower patches on front fenders, new metal on bottom lip of deck lid and a couple patches in the trunk all metal parts where welded in. Complete body was then spayed with white epoxy primer inside and out and then painted with Acrylic Enamel just like the factory used. New vinyl top, carpet and headliner where installed. Build sheet was found under the factory carpet, pretty ruff but I laminated it and will include in sale. B.F. Goodrich T A radials are like new. Car runs and drives perfect with no squeeks or rattles.
Front seal on transmission will leave drips but it does not drip enough to warrant me pulling the transmission, rarely does it need fluid.
Front seat could use a new cover as there are seam tears and mice holes (never bothered me ) Dash pad has a small crack above instrument cover.
could use new sunvisors. a/c works with a yearly R134a recharge. original blower switch is bad and not available, so a chevelle blower switch was wired in and hangs under the dash.
Brakes, wheel cylinders, master cylinder where all replaced when I re did the car.
There is some surface rusting on both the front and rear bumpers not real bad. re plated bumpers are available if desired.
some of the stainless trim has some dents and dings from the previous owner.
Again car is not show quality but it is a very presentable good running and driving Friday night cruiser and has won some 2nd place trophies @ the local car shows the few times it was entered. Got beat in the muscle car category by a near perfect 1969 Mach 1.
Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end this buy it now at any time.
Buyer will be responsible for pickup or shipping @ your expense. I will work with you on getting it on a transporter.
Call Howard with any questions @ 314-821-4356 m. thru f. 8am to 5pm
You will find a picture of an orange label on the glove box lid. This label was made by my sister in law the day they purchased the 442 in the late 70's it, along with the original pedal pads and factory Oldsmobile floor mats pretty much document the milage on the odometer.
Of course this is a used car but I do feel you could fly in and drive home with no problem. Although I make no guarantees.
No refunds, no warranty, as is with Missouri safety inspection and Missouri I.D. O.D certificates. 1000.00 non refundable deposit do at time of buy it now. Balance due before car leaves my possession and funds are in my bank. no exceptions.
The engine has the good cylinder heads and this is a real deal 442 not some copy or clone.

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.
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.
