1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass S
Code 28 Diplomat Blue This Cutlass was originally a 350 2 barrel AC car with front disk brakes and 350TH Transmission. It was a well kept original car then it was frame on restored in 1995. The car has always been garage kept and almost never in the rain. There is no signs of rust and the floorboards and trunk are totally solid. Body panel alignment and gaps are also excellent. No rust under the decklid or inside bottom of doors either. The exterior has all original chrome. The bumpers are decent but show some small pitting in the chrome. All weatherstrips and any rubber have been replaced. The paint and bodywork is excellent and the interior had seat covers, carpet, and headliner replaced. The hood is an original cowl induction hood in great shape with no rust on the underside. This car has a very low stance. I spent a lot of time on coil spring choice to get it this way. The engine has been changed to a 455 with an offset grind crankshaft. Putting it just under 500CI. The transmission is a built 400TH. 10” Stall converter Approx 3500rpm. Rear end is an Oldsmobile 12 bolt posi. Aluminum driveshaft. Rear sway bar. Custom tig welded stainless exhaust with X-pipe and 20” Turbo mufflers. The sound is perfect! The engine has minimal miles on it. Maybe 1000? The car just never gets driven. Here is a list of most of the engine details: Pro systems Holly carb Torker manifold- fully ported Edelbrock Cylinder Heads- Fully ported Flat tappet mechanical camshaft Custom JE Pistons- Approx 10:1- Runs all pump gas Manley Rods Studs and straps for the mains MSD Distributer and ignition Hooker Headers Mallery Oil pan The engine machine work and clearances were heavily scrutinized. All Oldsmobile oiling mods were made. There were no corners cut or processes skipped during the machine work and build process. I wanted to be sure this engine would last and handle any abuse. I also wanted to be able to run nitrous so anything it needed to beef it up it got it. I again never got around to setting it up for that yet though. The AC compressor and condenser have been removed, but I still have it all. Just never got to getting it all hooked back up and running again. Also I have and am including plenty of spare parts. Including sport steering wheel, Ac condenser, compressor, brackets ect. I have a few boxes full of stuff. The car was built to go fast but never got a chance to race. It has not been dynoed either. Should make over 650HP! The car drives very nice and extremely strong. Massive torque. Please feel free to ask any questions. And I have more pictures upon request. Seller has the right to cancel auction at any time. |

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.
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.
This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]
Thu, 09 Oct 2014The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?
