1974 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 2-door coupe

White Colonnade top, deep green color. Black vinyl interior with center console. Rally steering wheel. Low miles XXX. I am the third known owner. Originally a Las Vegas car. Absolutely zero rust. This car is mechanically sound. New master cylinder was installed in the last year.

The bad:

Radio works and then stops working
Horn with reproduction center button does not work (Original arrow steering wheel is included)
Rear bumper has ding
Front seats need to be reupholstered.
Bumper fillers in front need to be installed
SS hood fits poorly. Original hood is included
Hood release cable is damaged. Cable is looped behind the front bumper to open hood with ease. This will be your little secret.
Remote control for “Sport” mirror on driver’s side has bezel which pops up. Original square mirror included.
No bezels for side opera windows
Analog clock does not work. It needs to have the contacts cleaned.

The good:

Car is fast and fun.
Way less expensive than a collectible 68-72 Cutlass, GTO, Nova, Chevelle. Therefore you will not be afraid to actually drive and use this car.
With black interior, you can paint the car any color you wish. This was my intention, I just ran out of steam/time/money with this project.
Stock SSI Hurst 15 X 7 rims are available for an additional $1,000.00. Rims are 100% condition with new PPG Metallic powder coat in silver/grey. New repro center caps. New repro outer trim rings. New repro bezels (5) per wheel.
Car has new black carpet kit installed.

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.

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.
