This is the last of my Cutlass Collection, an 82 Cutlass Calais T top . Yes, T tops are hard to find, but you can find them if you are patient.......NOT in this case, you will be hard pressed to find a T top Cutlass Calais with this RARE interior colour combination and FULLY LOADED with factory RALLYE pack as well. This was a hard decision however I have another project I would like to get started on and it all comes down to garage space.....and so, I must sell this rare bird.

SHE IS ALL ORIGINAL, UNMOLESTED, still has the factory painted on pin striping!

Being original, she does need some restoration, or you can drive her as is.....the pictures say it all. She even has the original T top bags in the trunk, date code still on them , 1982.

With all original car's, they need some TLC, in the pictures you will see the beginnings of rust starting under the doors, yes they can be saved at this stage. There is also some rust appearing on the left side rear wheel well ( see pic). The rest of the car is absolutely clean, and original. SOLID FRAME, 0 rust at all, SOLID rear bumper, 0 rust at all, fenders 0 rust.

The T tops, well......leak a little. In the summer I would leave the t tops off, and put a rubber dressing on the seals to soften them up, and they work very well, however as the car sits with the tops on, the weather stripping compresses again, and it occasionally leaks. The car is parked indoors, in a climate controlled garage.....so she's always dry. A car of this vintage can be used as a daily driver, but I would keep it as a cruiser car, limiting exposure to rain .

Last on the list of issues is the exhaust......it will need an exhaust! The original one was rusty and falling apart.....so I pulled it off.....never completing it.

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

The 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 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.

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.
