1970 Oldsmobile 442 Dezert Find With Bonus Muncie 4spd And Aluminum Bell! on 2040-cars
Boulder City, Nevada, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1970 Olds 442 with a factory ordered W25 option fiberglass forced air hood! The car has a non numbers matching 455 with a 396021F code block and G heads. The engine is not currently running because it needs two freeze plugs in the heads and the radiator is bad but it turns good and cranks over just fine. The trans is not original and looks to be a 1969 model. The trans shifts into all gears and has clean fluid. I recently found this car in central Nevada and bought it from the second owner who owned since 1975. The lady I bought from said her brother had a problem with the original engine and trans and got rid of them around 1980 or so. The car was originally built in Fremont California and shipped to Scripture Oldsmobile in San Rafael California. The car has been on the west coast it's whole life and is extremely solid with no rot anywhere! When I got the car home I dropped the tank and found the build sheet for the car! I had the build sheet laminated and you can clearly read all the information on it! This 442 was originally equipped with a lot of factory upgrades including the W25 hood, W26 dual gate console Hurst shifter, N34 sport steering wheel, rally instrument cluster with tic tach clock, air conditioning, power disc brakes, performance 3.23 axle with positraction and sport rv mirrors! When I picked the car up it was very dusty and dirty but cleaned up very good as you can see from the interior pics. The body of this car is extremely solid with no panel replacement needed at all and the factory floor pans under the carpet look brand new! The front fenders were replaced at some point with 1971 fenders. I also just put factory repainted 14x6 wheels on it with new trim rings, caps and brand new tires! This is an awesome 442 that would be perfect to restore because it is very straight and super solid! This is a NO RESERVE auction so BID TO WIN!!! I will also include a factory Muncie M20 4spd trans with aluminum bell to the winning bidder!! This car will be sold as is where is with no warranty implied and I reserve the right to end this auction anytime. Once again NO RESERVE for this awesome dezert find car!!

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.
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.
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.
