1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass (442 Clone) on 2040-cars
Frankfort, Indiana, United States
|
It is a 1972 Olds Cutlass (442 Clone). It has a rebuilt Holley 800 carb (mid June), brand new '72 (period correct) fiberglass ram air hood w/ hood pin assembly (not installed), 3 new '72 SS3 rims (black, period correct), new air cleaner w/ OLDS 442 decal, new interior (leather seats, carpet, hand stitched 442 head rests, see pictures) original wood grain dash w/ original three gauge cluster, sorry no radio. I have a new oil pan and gaskets to replace small crack on old oil pan that leaks oil. I also have a three gauge cluster (aftermarket) w/ coolant temp, oil pressure, and amp meter for under the dash that is hooked up but I do not have the bulbs hooked up to illuminate the gauge cluster (see pictures). Speedo says 66,788 and the previous owner claims it is right, was a show car and southern cruiser (I would cruise in it to because of the 455CID big block in it). It is from the south ever since the car was made in Texas and the owner was from Alabama. It does run and drive, may need to replace brakes in front, and I replaced the master cylinder when I got it. Floor pans are solid (no rot), trunk is solid but does have a hole about 1" x 2", front quarters are solid (no rot), rear quarters are solid (some rust but not totally rotted out, see pictures). Also, the underside was sprayed with rust inhibitor black paint to aid it from rusting. Windshield and rear window (opposite of windshield) are in good shape with no leaks (seem to be original glass all around) and little dusting of rust around the windshield (only in a few places but not rotted out by any means). It has PS, dual exhaust, manual windows, Holley 800 carb, auto trans, new rims and tires, A/C (not hooked up), new fiberglass ram air hood w/ hood pin assembly, new air cleaner, new interior, and 2+ year old paint job, new metallic blue oil pan w/ gaskets and new plug, new 442 grilles (not installed, see pictures). I have new 442 emblems, as well. I have to get rid of this car, no time for family and this car, I have owned this car for four months. The car is SOLD AS-IS. Bid to buy only!

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.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General 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.
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.
