1970 Cutlass Supreme Convertible

Original 4 Speed!

 

I have owned this car for the last 15 years and it has been a pleasure to drive as well as show. I believe I’m the third owner and when I originally bought the car, it came from a barn in Colorado. My intentions were to build a car that I could drive and enjoy – not trailer. The engine is not original to the car so I had it professionally built with performance parts from Eddies Valve Grinding is Sayreville, NJ. The rest of the drivetrain is original. I’ve had many other Oldsmobile enthusiasts look the car over top to bottom. The car has had a total and complete ground up restoration. The suspension, drive train, interior, and exterior have all been rebuilt with performance parts, replaced with quality components or restored back to an original specification. My goal was to keep the car looking as stock as possible but with added horsepower and performance. The transmission was removed and professionally built by Man-Trans in Tallahassee FL. Both the engine and transmission were built with warranties. I also have documentation regarding the Production Numbers of how rare this vehicle is. According to:

 

General Motors Heritage Center

6400 Center Drive

Sterling Heights, MI 48312

 

Their records go through June of 1970 and exclude a detailed breakdown of 4267 Models (Convertibles).

1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertibles total built = 11,354

4200 Models total M20 4-speed manual transmission = 679

4200 Models total M21 close ration 4-speed manual transmission = 203

4200 models total 4-speed manual transmission = 882

 

Additionally and with further research and documentation:

There were a total of 633,981 Oldsmobile’s produced in 1970. Out of those; 11, 354 were convertibles. Out of the 11,354 convertibles built, only 71 were ordered with an M21 4-speed transmission. There were also a handful of M20 4-speeds built in the Supreme Convertible Package, but as an unknown number.

-          The cowl tag shows a dash for one of four special order colors in 1970 – this one is Sebring Yellow. This is also a Christmas car, because it was built in the 4th week (D) of December (12) 1969. Also includes rare options such as the Courtesy Map Light in the Rear View Mirrow.

 

 

This Cutlass is extremely reliable and mechanically sound with no noticeable leaks and would drive it long distances without hesitation. The paint does have minor nicks (7/10) and it does need a few small things to make it perfect. Yellow was the original color. This Cutlass is an attention getter and will turn heads from all directions. The car didn’t originally have the stripes, 442 hood, or spoiler. I do have the broadcast sheet for the car as well which will be given to the new owner. The Cutlass also comes with all the original parts that I can find: i.e. Original hood, intake, original 350 rocket air cleaner with labels etc…. If there are any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to ask and I will try to respond as accurately and swiftly as possible. I have no problems helping with shipping on the east coast. I have a trailer and am willing to compromise. All other shipping arrangements will be the responsibility of the buyer.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

The 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?

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If 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 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.
