Hey guys I really don't want to sell my baby but my wifey and I are adopting a little boy and I need to free up some cash for lawyer fees!!!

1968 Cutlass S
Olds 350 motor (not original) rebuilt w/ small cam, edelbrock intake, Holley 650 carb, headers that go into dual flowmasters all the way out the rear (fully welded)
3 speed Saginaw trans with new clutch assembly
4 wheel drum brakes just fully rebuilt, stops nice for a non power brake setup!
Front end was rebuilt-any worn parts replace tie rods, etc drives straight and no rattles or pulling
Centerline wheels all around with new center caps and bullet lugs
Rear tires are BF Goodrich Comp T/A size 275/60 r15
Fronts are general size 205/65 r15
Nice rake and no the rears do not rub or stick out of the wheel wells
Custom autosounds stereo with original fader knobs, looks really nice
Pioneer speakers all around, 3.5 in the stock location (2) and 6" in the rear deck (2) nice sounds for cruising
Aftermarket autometer white faced gauges in stock location, big tach & speedo, then multi-gauge for temp, oil, volts-small gas gauge mounted under dash
New dash pad for a/c car with vents but the car is non a/c-better looking dash!!
New glovebox liner installed, and the dash has all the correct knobs
Interior is black vinyl, recovered sometime in the last 40 years, looks like generic smooth re-cover (no detail) but no rips and looks nice, I just went through the interior and cleaned up doors, recovered the arm rests with soft material, and made a cutom olds rocket filler panel for the speaker deck-small detail that looks sharp!!

I got the car in trade last year, it was the warm grey metallic color with black vinyl top. The previous owner removed the top and most of the stainless and welded all the holes shut, the car is now in dark grey primer and needs final block to be ready for paint!! In my opinion a talented painter could have this car ready to spray in a day, the 1/4 panels have small patches behind the wheels (welded in) and the rest of the car looks rust free-bottoms of doors are nice and no evidence of rust on the fenders. This was a 3 on the tree car that was converted to a no name floor shift, also has 13" 3 spoke steering wheel. The trunk has some scale and surface but nothing more than a few pinholes, it's solid and nice-trust me I was laying in it installing the speakers and I'm a big boy!! The car runs teriffic and would feel confident going anywhere in it!!
I know this is a lot of information and there is always more, if you have any questions please ask!!

mileage was listed at 112,000 thats what the old speedo says but the new one has just 2000-thats when the motor was rebuilt!!

The best way to reach me is via text or phone (815) 274-0460
Thanks for looking!! And my name is Mike!!

ALSO A $500 non-refundable down payment is due 24 hours after the end of auction, please no games, I really need to pay the lawyers for our adoption, and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time!!!

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.

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.

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.
