1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme mild custom with 442 hood. Originally a well cared for and nicely optioned car. It now has some nice custom upgrades. The heart being a fresh Warmed up 455ci engine with TH400 trans.

Factory options include power disk brakes, power steering, power windows, Air conditioning (working) tilt steering wheel, console, floor shift and bucket seats. Original radio still in place. also has cruise but not working.

This Cutlass was a white with black top 350 car. It has never been a beat down car and it shows throughout. The OD states 44,000, and everyone knows how that goes, probably 144000 It could be a true 44000 mile car but I am not representing it as such.

Clues to the possibility of it being a low mile car include- Original steering wheel, gauges, radio and dash all in outstanding condition. pedals and knobs show minimal wear. Carpet is faded, but under the original floor mats still black and like new. Outstanding interior with minimal wear on the front seats, Back seat like new condition. nice original stickers in glove box, original rust free floors and trunk.

Custom upgrades include a low mile Warmed up 455 ci with edelbrock aluminum heads,intake and 750cfm Qjet carb(also edelbrock), roller rockers, timing gear, ceramic coated headers,aluminum radiator, duel electric fans, electric fuel pump, vintage thrush side pipes. Any horsepower rating would be a guess, but the edelbrock kit on a small block chevy will make over 400hp, and this isn't a small block chevy by any means. It is strong with a crisp thumpy idle but is not over cammed. It has great "pedal feel" and is very tight and responsive. It also runs well with the AC on. It also drives like a low mile car.

Clean and straight body with a nice dupont hugger orange paint job, shaved door handles (nice workmanship) with keyless entry. It is sharp! New Vinyl Top, again no rust.
Th 400 trans with original 10 bolt limited slip rear. Fiberglass ram-air hood.

NO RUST. Original metal
Floors and trunk are outstanding original metal with no patch work or thin areas. Quarters had small rust spots behind rear tires, repaired with new metal, The lower fenders had small bubbling and were also patched with new metal.
This car is not perfect, I don't think any over 40 year old classic is, unless your paying big bucks for perfection. It is a clean nice ride that will fit in at any local car show or cruise night, With a little work it could be a show stopper, but it is very enjoyable as it is.

Things the car needs- The undercarriage has not been detailed, it is clean but not fresh painted. The trunk is ready for factory style spatter paint. It is missing the reverse lenses. The front seats show minor wear and if you want to show the car as a high end car, they should be replaced. The passenger corner trim to the vinyl top is missing. I am sure it needs other little things that can be tinkered on here and there. All of the hard work is done.

Any interested buyer should inspect the car in person. This car was not built cheap, and it won't be cheap to buy, the engine alone has over 6 grand into it. The reserve is very reasonable for the quality of the car and the minor things it needs. It is affordable and a good deal, as it is not even close to the amount of time and money that has went into this car.

If you win, show up (or have the car inspected) and don't like the car you are not obligated to buy it.
As with any classic car, The car is sold as is.
Full payment within 7 days. If you can't pick the car up within 3 days a $200 holding deposit (non- refundable) will be required at the end of the auction. The winning bidder must contact me within 24 hrs of the auction closing or I will move on to the next interested buyer. This car is for sale so no games please. All funds must clear before title transfer and/or pick-up or shipping.
If you have any questions feel free to email.

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.

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.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

The 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?
