This is an amazing car and a very rare find. A 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass 'S', two-door coupe, California Black Plate car with 23k original, documented miles. This is a two owner car and it has just undergone a two year complete frame-off restoration. The car was purchased new in California and rarely driven by the first owner. The second owner purchased the car 35 years later in 2003 and it sat under a California carport until 2012. The car has never seen snow or salt and has always been 100% rust-free. It has never been crashed or wrecked. I have the open and signed California Title and Bill of Sale in hand.
The car was originally Scarlet Red with the Scarlet Red interior. I had the car completely stripped to bare metal, including all jambs and inside of all body panels. The car retains all of its original sheet metal and had zero rust before being restored. All molding and emblem holes were welded-up, as well as the front fender mounted antenna, for a cleaner look. The new windshield has an internal radio antenna. Both the front and rear dash areas were re-painted the original Scarlet Red, while the glass was out. The car was then painted Gloss Black, using a urethane epoxy primer, two-stage base coat / clear coat urethane paint, then wet-sanded and buffed for a high luster finish, at a total cost of $16k. The bucket seat, console shift interior is 100% original and nothing has been changed or restored. The car has a factory tilt steering column and original AM radio. I have added an Autometer in-dash tachometer in the clock delete pod, which was tastefully done. The body was removed from the frame and all of the body-mount rubber bushings and bolts were replaced. The frame was painted satin black and the underside of the body was also painted satin black. Inside of the trunk remains original and untouched. The radiator core support was also rust-free; it was blasted and powder-coated satin black and it even has the original rust-free battery tray. Both front and rear bumpers were re-chromed by Tri-City Plating of Tennessee. Both pot metal vent window posts were re-chromed by R&D Finishing of Tennessee. All of the rubber bumpers and weather-stripping have been replaced with Metro SoffSeal. The original drive-train was a 350c.i. engine with a 2-speed powerglide transmission. I installed a professionally rebuilt 1970 455c.i. engine with 'E' heads and Edelbrock Performer Package, including: camshaft, lifters, double roller timing chain, aluminum intake manifold, 750cfm carburetor and a G.M. HEI distributor. Also installed was a professionally rebuilt Turbo 350, 3-speed automatic transmission with a new torque convertor. The rear end gears were changed from 2.73:1 to 3.73:1. With 28" tall rear tires, the ratio is actually 3.55:1. A rebuilt high torque G.M. starter motor and a 105 Amp one-wire alternator were added. The custom-made dual exhaust system consists of 1 3/4 " tube Hooker Headers with Dynomax Super Turbo Mufflers and 2 1/2 " aluminized pipe, for an awesome sound. The original 14 inch wheels and bias-ply tires were replaced with 15 inch U.S.A. Made wheels and radial tires. The wheels are American Racing Torque Thrust II, rear size: 15"x10" and front size: 15"x7", with custom ordered backspacing. The tires are Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T white-lettered radials, rear size: 275/60R/15 and front size: 225/70R/15. The car has the original spare tire and jack in mint condition. The car originally had front drum brakes and was upgraded to power front disc brakes. All (4) ball joints and front end parts were replaced with Moog components. All control arm bushings were upgraded to PST Polygraphite. Upgraded Moog front and rear coil springs were added along with (4) KYB gas shock absorbers. All fuel, brake and transmission lines were replaced, along with the fuel tank sending unit. The air conditioning system was re-sealed, converted from R12 to R134a and blows ice cold. For any additional information about this car, please call me at 978-360-9898. Thank you for your interest. |

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.
Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Ever 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.
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.
