1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme convertible in great restorable condition. This car is a perfect candidate for restoration because of the low miles and condition of the frame,chassis components, and most of the body is intact and very repairable. The body is a bit rough but the frame and chassis components or the main car itself is in really good overall condition. Some of the bad points are as follows. This car needs body work including rear quarter bottoms, back of the front fenders only on the bottom. There is various dents on the body but are definitely repairable. One dent on the back of the trunk area needs attention. It might need work on the bumpers or possibly new ones. Some of the chrome trim pieces are dented and it is missing a small one on the front of the nose and the front right wheel. There is one rusted through spot on one floorboard that needs fixing. The trunk has a larger dent that looks repairable and one larger spot on the front right fender. The interior is in poor condition and the shift linkage from the column lever needs fixing. One of the rear triangle windows is off track and will not roll up but the glass is in there. This car has not been ran in a couple years but was supposedly running and driving well when it was running. I am going to try and get it fired up and running to show on a video. The brakes might need some attention or I will bleed them and check for leaks. The convertible top needs replacing. The latch on the trunk needs adjusting or trunk lid needs to be adjusted because it will not close right now. One fender skirt is off and needs to be put back on. The rear bumper is not fully bolted on. It looks like someone was doing a bit of work on this car. Some of the good things about this car are the fact that besides the body work and paint it is a bunch of small jobs that will bring this car back to being a real beauty. The frame looks really solid with just surface rust. Most of the body is solid along with most floors and door jambs. The motor and drivetrain are all intact and probably original but I have not confirmed that. I can get the numbers if you want to run them. the convertible top frame looks and works good and even has a automatic hydrolic opener installed but needs fluid or work I think. It has around 85,000 miles. I'm not sure if that is accurate but according the the way the chassis and body looks it looks about right. The rubber body mounts look really good. It has the bucket seats in front and will be great when reupholstered. The car has the 350 rocket motor with an automatic transmission for that comfortable cruising that this car was meant to do. This will be a beautiful car with a quality restoration or just a partial restoration and a paint job. I think the motor and tranny work well but have not confirmed yet. This car was garaged regularly since 1989.

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.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

The 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?

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.
