1968 Cutlass S Convertible---restored---buckets---factory Air----new Everything! on 2040-cars
Troy, Virginia, United States
|
I bought this Cutlass S in 2008 to restore, because it was a convertible with factory air, bucket seats and a console-mounted floor shifter. The fact that it came with power windows and had front disc brakes already installed sealed the deal for me. This car has all the features to be a stylish, comfortable long-distance cruiser. Since completion, I have taken it on two long distance tours, so it can be driven anywhere reliably. Those friends that have driven the car comment that it is well-sorted. The convertible top mechanism has never given me a moment's trouble. The car starts first time, every time, even if it has set for two weeks. Tires on the car are P225-70 R-14 BF Goodrich Radial T/As with about 70% of tread left. Clear car title is in hand; non-smoking household. I do most of my own automobile restoration work so I know it's done right. Am a member of both the Oldsmobile Club of America and the AACA and treasure originality. I strive to restore each car as close to factory correct as possible. I hire seasoned professionals to rebuild the engines and transmissions. Have all the receipts for parts I purchased, and for the service and restoration work I couldn't do myself. Also included are the previous owner's receipts for service work performed as early as 1982. I have been trained over the years to do everything to restore a classic car except body and paint work. That is all that is left to do on this car. There is no body damage to fix, but there is some rust at the bottom of each rear quarter panel. At some point in its lifetime, this car was heavily treated with Ziebart rust proof spray inside the body in over thirty different areas, including the underbody. The car was repainted before I purchased it but the paint is tired. It certainly could be left and enjoyed "as is" or repainted--allowing you to pick whichever color you like best. I am sure this Cutlass will be a great buy for any enthusiast that wants a car they can enjoy right now.

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant
Wed, 18 Jun 2014If you have a need to relive the 1970s, then here is the vehicle for you. This groovy blast from the past is a 1976 GMC Motorhome currently for auction in Florida on eBay Motors, and it is one green machine - just not in the modern sense.
The seller claims that this beast has had just two owners and has covered a mere 61,308 miles in its decades on the road. It's reportedly never been restored or repainted and comes with all of the necessary books and manuals. A 7.5-liter (455-cubic-inch) Oldsmobile V8 with a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission powering the front wheels propels this far-out RV, and the double set of rear wheels out back use a self-leveling air suspension to provide a cushy ride.
The purported low miles and good condition really make this GMC a stand out, though. The exterior combination of lime stripes and beige with just a touch of green is like nothing else on the road today. Plus, the polished bumpers and wheels make it all pop. Inside, it's even better with monochromatic green upholstery and shag carpet. It features everything you'd ever need on a long trip, including a bathroom, kitchenette and lots of seating. The only hint of modernization is an HD TV next to the stove, but its size is a perfect fit for the hole there.
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.
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.
