1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442. W-42 Code (1 of 3000 442's) Not sure of exact production figures on the T-Top cars in '85. Real 442 not a clone. Daily driven, SOLID, unrestored, original paint and interior car. Factory 442 wheels. Have all original owners books in glovebox as well as Chilton manual. Showing 76,000 miles on odometer. Titles in Indiana show milage as (Exempt) on vehicles 25 years and older. Car is a wonderful driver but is NOT a show car. T-Tops have newer weather stripping and seal up tight. Under the hood appears to be all original and untouched, however the factory 307 Oldsmobile engine was replaced in 2001 with the more superior and completely rebuilt Oldsmobile 350 Rocket V8 Serial #: 395582 Year (1968). Jones Engine Machine Shop in Owensboro, Ky. did the machine work including valve job, .030 bore cylinders, installed cam bearings, ground crankshaft, magniflux inspection of the block and installed freeze plugs. Have paperwork receipts from Jones Machine Shop. Engine was then reassembled by SPEC Performance in Dale, IN. (Scott Fischer owner). Scott builds high end engines for dirt track racing and is VERY well known in this area. Look him up. Engine is VERY STRONG with no smoke, ticks or issues. 200-R4 "OZ" 4 speed automatic transmission shifts wonderful as well. Has chrome air cleaner lid and factory dual snorkel air cleaner. Newer Firestone Indy 500 15" tires. Brakes are strong and great. Gauges all work. Power windows work. Heat works nicely with new heater core, wipers and all exterior /interior lighting including courtesy lighting works great. Trunk light works and truck are is excellent. Car can be driven daily. Issues that may need attention in the future: Passenger side exhaust donut gasket leaking (no big deal). Being an original paint car there is obviously nothing to hide. Structural steel under the car is rock solid! Trunk pan is rock solid as are the floors. However the paint is fading on the top portions of the car (hood, trunk lid, roof). Car has some front fender damage from a deer running into it. This put a few dents in the fender as shown. Could probably be fixed relatively easily. There are chips and scratches here and there too as well as some very small rust spots just starting to show in a few places. Interior is clean and shows typical ware for an older used car. Carpet has some stains, ware patterns and so on. Console lid is broken as well as the shifter T handle. There is another one on it that works fine and the original one will be included. Please feel free to call me anytime with any other specific questions or concerns. I am always here to help. (812)631-9244 Clear, clean Indiana title in hand for easy transaction. I have not owned the car for many years but I have driven the car and enjoyed it. Time to pass it on. Starting by asking lowest NADA retail price but feel free to make a serious, respectable offer. Offensive offers will be automatically declined. Thanks. |

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?
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.
