Possibly the rarest GM Production Car(True Production) ever made!! NO JOKING This car is one of the 204 Quad 442 W41 cars built in 1991 and is also 1 of 15 "C41" cars built as IMSA Firestone Firehawk/SCCA World Challege intended cars. 15-1991 Quad 442's got extra special treatement in order to prepare themselves for the factory OLDS race teams in the day(Hacker Racing, Hemmingson Racing, and "The Great Western Boot Company") Google search "Quad 442 W41 C41" and you will get a good idea of what this car is C41 is the RPO Code for NON-A/C but in these cars that meant a lot more, Different Limited Slip Diff, Different Fuel Tank, Engine oil cooler and a few more Race Only Options This car is order # W41188(Bottom center of window sticker)
This is one of only two C41 cars sold to the general public, and both exist in excellent condition today. The other is owned in Columbus, Ohio by the owner of a GMC(former OLDS) Dealer. One other car C41 car exists in very rough condition with well over 120,000 miles and has some title blemishes as it was a unused race vehicle that Hacker Racing put into civilian service after it went unused and the factory teams switched to the OLDS Achieva in 1992. The rest of the "C41" cars got roll cages and the interiors torn out by the factory race teams.(I have one of those for sale as well right now on EBAY) I purchased this vehicle approx. 5 years ago from its first and original owner I have two 3" binders with every piece of documentation you can imagine and every article written on the W41.

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.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General 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.
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.
