1969 Oldsmobile 442 400 Auto "crispy Barn Fire" Good Title Some Parts "clone It" on 2040-cars
Ashland, Ohio, United States
|
This auction is for one crispy 69 olds 442. Here’s the story: This was the first car I ever owned. I bought the car when I was 15. Spent my graduation money rebuilding the engine. Drove the car till 2nd gear started slipping and decided to put it in the barn till my girls graduated. My youngest graduated 2 years ago so I was ready to start working on the car, that is until I received a phone call that my grandmas barn was on fire. I immediately asked which barn as we have a couple on the farm. The person on the phone couldn’t tell me so during the 8 mile drive I tried to keep positive. Unfortunately when I got there the barn and every thing in it was a loss. I had a huge lump in my throat. A food delivery truck had slid off the road on ice, hit the barn and burst into flames. Thank God everyone was safe. So that brings me to this auction. What to do with the car. If I were to haul it for scrap I would have to turn a good muscle car title, not to mention any fragment of 442 history that could be savaged. Here’s what I can tell you, the trans was melted off. C series heads are bare castings bolted to the block. The exhaust manifolds are in the trunk. Im not sure of the condition of the block or crank. If you win the auction you can pick and choose what you wish to keep. If you choose to want just the title I’ll have to cut the car into small enough pieces to get in the scrap yard. If you want the block I’ll crate it and ship it. If you want the whole car I’ll load it on my trailer and bring it to you for a charge of course. Perfect parts for a Cutlass clone project. I just hate to see it go. I guess my dream would be to have Chip Foose pick up on the story and overhaul it. If you have any questions please ask. Good luck! If the car don’t sell I will immediately haul it to the shredder next week as I need to get things cleaned up around the farm so we can move forward. Please plan to pay by paypal. Shipping to be determined depending on how much you wish to recieve. Thanks Mark |

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.
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.
