Up for sale are my twin Quad 442 Cutlass Calais W-40's. They are getting really hard to find in decent condition!

I have a collection of cars and have to make some room, and unfortunately these have to go.

The auction is for both cars! 

1990 Olds Cutlass Calais Quad 442 W40, 2.3 H.O. LGO 180hp engine, 5speed 3.61 gear ratio transaxle,ac, runs and drives great, 141k miles, it has been upgraded with an LS1 throttle body, has air shocks in the back to prevent squatting when taking off at the track, has Mickey Thompson Drag radials in the front, otherwise all original. It's a fun car to drive, I did 15.1 @ 90 mph at ATCO raceway, that was pretty fast in 1990 for a 4cylinder car! In the pics you will see a nitrous system, but I never installed the bottle or used it, and it is NOT included in the auction. It will be removed before the sale.

I am including a brand new never used 3.94 transaxle that I bought new on Ebay for the 1990 to give it the same ratio at the W-41's came with and hopefully get it into the 14's with just better gearing.

You can drive this car anywhere and have a lot of fun doing it!

The second car is a 1991 Cutlass Calais Quad 442 W-40, it is identical to the 1990 but has a factory sunroof. It has 191k miles, it runs and drives but has low oil pressure when it warms up. I bought it for spare parts but it is too nice to take apart. The side pieces for the rear spoiler are in the trunk.

Both cars have good clutches and have some minor rust on the lower deck lids and lower rear quarter panels that every single Calais I have seen has had or develops.

The paint on both cars is original, still mostly shiny, there are minor dings, dents that should be expected of car's of this vintage, the paint on the bumpers is faded in some spots but overall these cars still attract a hell of a lot of attention and are true survivors!

They are not W-41's but are not priced like a W-41 either and you can add the W-41 stuff like chip, IDI cover, and cams, most of that stuff is still available. You can go to "quad4forums"  dot com for info on these rare cars. 

I owned a body shop and do body work and it is not a big deal to cut out a small section and replace/touch up, the rust is very minor.

Both have clean titles in my business name, I have had these cars for a few years and I am very reluctant to sell them but don't have the space to keep them inside.

Please email me any and all questions before bidding, I would like this transaction to go as smooth as possible, my feedback is perfect and would like to keep it that way.

I prefer to communicate via email only, so I can reply to the question and post it for everyone to see just in case they want to ask the same question. 

The cars are available to see at my used car lot in Philly, PA 19125, I am open Thursday,Friday,Saturday 10am-5pm only.

A $500 non-refundable deposit is due immediately after the auction and the balance due in cash at time of pickup. I will allow 7 days to pick up the vehicles unless we come to a different agreement. I am a licenced PA dealer and sell auto tags if you want to pick up the car and drive it home.  

The 1991 will have to be towed, I don't trust the oil pump or encourage driving it once it gets hot, it will ruin the engine.

I have a flat bed and can tow both cars if you like for a reasonable fee if you are not too far away. (50 mile radius)

I am not interested in any trades, and they are not available separate. If they don't sell I will just hold on to them.

Thanks for looking! Check out my other auction for a 1972 Opel GT with 49k miles I am selling also.

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.

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.

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?
