Major project , Needs Full Restoration ! 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass " S " Holiday Edition , 350 rocket , with a 350 automatic transmission . Clear Texas title in hand . Long story short , I purchased this car 2 years ago with the intention of using for parts only . Well I bought it off craigslist and it was more then 3 hours away , so i called a relative that lived in the same city as the car was located to see if he could store the car for me until i had time to pick it up . Well i ended up putting it in a body shop there , and ended up spending around $1600 in body work repair , this price didn't include the initial purchase of what the car cost me . I paid $1500 for the car in as is condition , so do the math . That's $3100 total investment i have in the car , and to be honest it sitting has really taken a toll on the car . When I purchased the car the previous owner had told me that he had gone threw the motor and rebuilt it . However when I got the car it was missing radiator , pulleys , hoses , etc . I did take a day and put all the required stuff on it from my driver olds and cranked it up and it started right up and sounded nice , but i did notice one of the freeze plugs was leaking so i shut it off .The car will need the same items , as i just used them to run a test to hear the engine . But the engine did sound good . You are buying the car as is where is , no warranty . Bring a trailer and haul it away . I do have the rear bumper but needs restoration as well . I also have core bucket seats that came out of one of my other 70's cutlass, that i can give the buyer a chance at buying for an additional $500 .Like I mentioned the car doesn't run and has tires that are flat . I will try to air up those tires that will hold air . BE PREPARED when coming to get it , bring a winch or a come along . $500 non-refundable deposit due within 24hrs by paypal .

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.

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?

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.
