1969 Oldsmobile 442 400 Auto "crispy Barn Fire" Good Title Some Parts "clone It" on 2040-cars
Ashland, Ohio, United States
|
This auction is for one crispy 69 olds 442. Here’s the story: This was the first car I ever owned. I bought the car when I was 15. Spent my graduation money rebuilding the engine. Drove the car till 2nd gear started slipping and decided to put it in the barn till my girls graduated. My youngest graduated 2 years ago so I was ready to start working on the car, that is until I received a phone call that my grandmas barn was on fire. I immediately asked which barn as we have a couple on the farm. The person on the phone couldn’t tell me so during the 8 mile drive I tried to keep positive. Unfortunately when I got there the barn and every thing in it was a loss. I had a huge lump in my throat. A food delivery truck had slid off the road on ice, hit the barn and burst into flames. Thank God everyone was safe. So that brings me to this auction. What to do with the car. If I were to haul it for scrap I would have to turn a good muscle car title, not to mention any fragment of 442 history that could be savaged. Here’s what I can tell you, the trans was melted off. C series heads are bare castings bolted to the block. The exhaust manifolds are in the trunk. Im not sure of the condition of the block or crank. If you win the auction you can pick and choose what you wish to keep. If you choose to want just the title I’ll have to cut the car into small enough pieces to get in the scrap yard. If you want the block I’ll crate it and ship it. If you want the whole car I’ll load it on my trailer and bring it to you for a charge of course. Perfect parts for a Cutlass clone project. I just hate to see it go. I guess my dream would be to have Chip Foose pick up on the story and overhaul it. If you have any questions please ask. Good luck! If the car don’t sell I will immediately haul it to the shredder next week as I need to get things cleaned up around the farm so we can move forward. Please plan to pay by paypal. Shipping to be determined depending on how much you wish to recieve. Thanks Mark |

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.
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.
