This is a 1972 Cutlass S in original condition. The front stat has been redone and I think the headliner may have as well. I have most of the paperwork from 1994 on and I think I have the build sheet as well, though I am not including that in the auction price as I may not be able to find it before auction close. The only things that have been changed on it are:

Ignition has been changed from points to a pertronix unit but no wires were clipped and the distrubutor was not removed.

Ignition relay has been changed to an electronic type instead of electromechanical.

The brake master cylinder is for some reason a split disc brake type.

The passenger rear quarter may have been replaced some time prior to 1994, I have no papers for the bodywork, but the quarter panel is not original.

The wheels are from some colannade style cutlass, maybe 1975 or 76, they came on the car. I am unsure of their condition but they hold air and it drives down the road fine.

Someone changed the car to dual exhaust.

I drove this car up from Houston in 2011 and had no problems with it going 80+mph.

Car has been garage kept in the winter and has spent most of its time indoors since coming up to Illinois. Never seen salt.

The car is as follows:

Cutlass S V8 2 door Coupe (non-post) model.

350 V8, 2 barrel.

Drum brakes all around

Automatic transmission (original)

Carburetor is Rochester 2GC (correct, numbers matching) rebuilt in 2011

Air conditioning (kind of works, was oiverhauled in 2011 and needs recharge, leaks at the muffler manifold)

Engine had a valve job in 2011, top end completely redone, I have paperwork for this, done by Scroggins Machine in Houston

Front bench was beautifully restored to original, no rips or tears in any of the interior at all. Granny shift of course on the column.

Condition:

This car has some rust spots, but to someone with some bodywork skill they should be workable. This is a pretty clean car having lived most of its life in Houston.

Upper window channel rust-through, worse in front largest spot is about 2" by 1/2" there are 3 spots total. 2 pencil eraser sized holes under the rear window trim.
Pinholes in the drivers side front fender near the bottom.
A spot I patched with rivets in the passenger floorboard that occurred when a heater core obviously leaked.
A rust hole in the radiator core support from a battery that must have exploded at one point.
Bubbling where the old quarter panel was attached to the car.

Stuff I have bought for the car, included with the auction:

Factory Manual

Factory Body Manual

Factory Assembly Guide

a pair of cupholders from wal mart (bonus!)

Feel free to send questions.

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.

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.
