I bought the Cutlass from my neighbor a few years ago as a project car for my son and I. Since then we have tinkered with the car from time to time but the interest is just not there anymore. The car stays in the garage and I take it out every once in a while. The car is very solid. The frame and undercarriage is in great shape. The windows roll up and down just fine. When we first started working on the car, we had the suspension redone and we added front disc brakes and a power booster. We also added a new four barrel carburetor and a nice set of tires and Rocket wheels (8 inch in the back and 7 inch in the front). The engine runs extremely well and it has a nice exhaust system (great muscle car sound). When I bought the car my neighbor already had the rebuilt Olds 425 V8 installed and the automatic transmission rebuilt. The engine and the transmission perform extremely well. The engine does have a noise that sounds like a valve rattle when I accelerate hard, such as getting out in traffic or revving it up but it stops when I let off the gas slightly. The interior needs to be redone to include carpet, seat covers and headliner. The dash board is in great shape. All the rubber weather strips need to be replaced. The body is in very good shape with very little rust. The trunk pan is pretty solid with exception of a couple relatively small places that need to be cut out and replaced. As you can see in the pictures, some of the chrome trim is off the car. I took the trim off because I was going to have the body finished and painted without all that trim to give the car a cleaner look. However, I still have all the trim and it goes with the car. As you can also see in the pictures, the bumpers are straight and in very good condition. I purchased the bumpers from a fellow out in Oklahoma. The bumpers that were on the car when I bought it were not in good shape at all. I believe I have described the car as best I can. If you have questions, please feel free to email me.

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.

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.

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.
