Hello

Selling my 1970 W31. The car is a survivor with only 43000 miles. The car has had only one repaint, and has all its original sheet metal. The paint is base clear wet sanded and buffed, and looks like its was just painted. There is absolutely no rust, scratches, bubbling or any shrinkage of any sort. The only blem is a slight crack at the front nose (notorious on all of them).The interior is untouched and beautiful. The inside chrome trim on the doors is like new and not peeling. It is a U21 Rally Pac car with tach and gauges , N34 wheel , W26 Dual Gate shifter. The transmission is the original JO code turbo 350 M38 with an approximately 2800 factory stahl converter. The car also has JL7 non power disc brakes. The wheels are N66 (original caps and centers showing little wear). The car has its original FE2 suspension with G88 3.91 12 bolt posi rear. The engine is original (big crank pulley) and numbers matching rated at 325hp at 5400 rpm. Compression ratio is 10.50 to 1. The car has the original and correct 6 heads with the big valves custom installed at the factory, crank pulley, fuel pump, distributor, etc. The hood and air cleaner is all original, with the steel chicken wire intact, and the ram air top un cracked.

Recently I had the car gone over by two AACA judges who specialize in Oldsmobile. The car has no docs (build sheet), as they are more than likely still in the car, as it has never been apart. Both confirmed the car as original. What really stands out is the Cowl Tag. The vin does not match the cowl as it was not uncommon in special order cars as this one was. This indicated the car was removed from the line during assembly. It also has no paint code, with only dashes, as it was a special order color (The original color can be seen inside trunk area gold) . Cutlass's did not come with side stripes and ram air hoods with stripes standard (W31's did). It came down the line as a Holiday Coupe Cutlass and was then transformed into the W31. The engine was also a special install with all the custom work done to the heads and block.

This is a must see car. Its runs, drives, shifts, and handles like new. Only 1029 were produced. How many are left with these miles and originality? Fly in and drive it home.

NOT FOR SALE FOR OUT OF THE COUNTRY BUYERS UNLESS SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE.

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.

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.
