This is a real 442. I bought the car (pre-kids) back in 1994. Was a TX car so very clean underneath!! Car used to be lime green with green interior and green vinyl top. I spent 7 years doing a total frame up restoration. Everything has been replaced or restored. Car is viking blue with black interior. I put all the goodies everyone wants on the car. (a real fiberglass, cut out bumper, rear wing) I wanted it fast, fun and beautiful and I hate to sell it, but with 4 kids and another car in the garage this one never gets driven. Here are some of the performance parts.
4.11 rear end with Moroso brute strength differential,
turbo 400 w/ cooler and B&M holeshot converter and shift kit, 1976 455
.030 over forged trw pistons, 9.5 compression, ready for NO2, J heads w/
standard valves for unleaded gas, Hooker thermal coated competition
headers, Lunati cam 328 duration {w-30} , Torker intake w/ 850 cfm holley
carb, Accel iginition w/ MSD 6a box , mcleod starter, and moroso deep
sump oil pan w/ melling pump.
now for some more information
Rear Wing, air conditioning (used to have I took it out), power steering, power disc brakes, AM/FM stereo radio( not hooked up I have new stereo in glove box), bucket seats with console. The list of other options follows: M40 - Turbo Hydra-Matic Transmission 400, A01 - Soft-Ray Tinted Windshield and Windows, N47 - Vari-Ratio Power Steering, JL2 - Power with Front Disc Brakes, P05 - Super Stock I Wheels ( have set of slicks never been on car that go with car to buyer), N34 - Custom-Sport Steering Wheel, D35 - Sports Styled Outside Rearview Mirrors. This was an on frame resto as the undercarriage is in excellent condition (no rust), firewall forward has been completely reconditioned. All steering components have been rebuilt or inspected and refinished, new shocks in front with new rear coils. The body was stripped to metal, I have new right rear quarter that will go with car. This car is arrow straight! The car has new head liner, but the carpet and door panels are used. (look great though). The seats have new covers and foam.

What needs to be done.
Really nothing car started right up and runs great. Car looks great. New owner would want to fix the chip in the front of the hood. Some of the window stripping is old and should be replaced. The transmission needs to be cleaned up. (they all leak from sitting around) It was totally rebuilt when we put it in about 200 miles ago, but with it sitting so much it leeks a little. Why 200 miles in 20 years. It took me 7 years before I had it done and on the road. I drive it a few times a summer around town and to shows. Car does not get driven enough and that is why I am selling it.

Have more pics. just ask

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.

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.

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?
