My name is Chris Martin I am the owner of the car. You can call me any time at home 972 617 0354 or my cell 469 441 1891 if you have any questions are want to know more about the car please call me. The car will be sold only on ebay. Give me a call I might do a buy it now on ebay.
I bought this 1969 cutlass S (not a 442 or a true ho455 it is a clone) from the original owner. They bought the car brand new on June 30, 1969 from Hensly motor company in Hot Springs, Arkansas. I have a copy of the original title that they received from the State of Arkansas when they bought the car new and the envelope that the title came in the mail from the State of Arkansas when they bought it. They come with the car. They paid $4,271.04 for the car when it was new. I had to turn in the original Arkansas title to the State of Texas when I changed the title into my name. I have a clear Texas Title in my name. The car still had the original white paint and gold pin strip on the hood. It came new with bucket seats and the floor console. It ran and drove great. It has less than 111,000 miles on it. It had a 350 engine in it and I bought a 455 olds engine and had it rebuilt. I bought the Cutlass S to have it restored into a 69 HO455 clone. I wanted it to be restored as close as it could be to a real HO455 for myself to drive around in and drive it to local shows. It has been restore to be a car that you can drive around in. It is not a show car to be towed on a trailer. It look like a show car to most people. I'm 68 years old and due to my health I must sell all of my cars. I would not sell them if I could drive them. I want some one that will buy it and drive it and let other people see it. It was just finished in April of this year (2014). I had the car restored frame off by a shop that restores HO455, 442, and Cutlass. The body was removed from the frame to restore the body of the car on a rotisserie. All the parts on the frame were removed. The frame and all of the parts were sand blasted and painted satin black. I have listed most of the work and parts that were done on it. The car is all steel. Any repair work that was done to the body we used new sheet metal panels. It has a 12 bolt rear end. I will be adding two videos you can watch which I had made of the car and more pictures I had taken.

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.
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.
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.
