1970 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible 455 V8 TH-400 Trans Power Top Power Steering Disk Brakes Rallye Cluster Tic Tock Tach Air Conditioning (Ice Cold) AM/FM Radio (works great) Original radio filament windshield One repaint in correct twilight blue Bucket Seats Console Positraction This car needs no introduction and makes no excuses. I completely rust free example of a very nice investment grade 442. The car is very original, and has 70,000 documented miles. This is not a restored car but a very well preserved example of excellent color combination and options. This is THAT car. The car is fabulous inside and out with no metal work whatsoever done to this car. It's rot and rust free. The car was painted once some years ago and the correct OAI W-25 Hood added and a NOS spoiler. This is not a BS all fiberglass reproduction hood. This is a OEM GM hood with a metal frame and fiberglass top. The driveline was rebuilt about 10,000 miles ago and the only deviation from stock was a set of GA heads were installed in lieu of the E heads (included). The reason for this was the use of valve rotators in the GA head. They were also port matched and cleaned up. I also installed a HEI distributor in lieu of the pesky points. The original distributor is included. Yes, its wired correctly. (Not using 9v coil output). The car runs and drives perfectly and can go anywhere at anytime. No leaks, no squeaks. The top is newer and has a glass rear window. Operation is flawless. Once again, a rock solid example of the epitome of Oldsmobile performance. The best looking and highest horsepower 442, in a convertible in one of the best color combinations with a great option set, in turn key condition.

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?
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.
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.
