1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Project

Up for grabs is my 1972 Olds Cutlass S. Great jump start for someone looking for a project. I have lost interest and don't see myself finishing it anytime soon. It was a running car when i picked it up 5 years ago. I immediately tore the car down. I sandblasted all front end components primed and painted then pressed all new bushing. New bearings were installed also. Sandblasted and painted the core support. Previous owner said the engine and trans were rebuilt but have no way of verifying this. I repainted the engine and added stainless steel bolts with a edelbrock performer intake and brand new headmen headers. 400 Turbo. 10 bolt open rear end ?. I had a factory Q-jet that will need to be rebuilt. I also installed new brake rotors, calipers and new backing plates. Upper cowl is in great shape. I installed new front floor pans and patched the rear upper pan (under the rear seat). Lower rear floor pans are in great shape. The fire wall was cleaned and painted before the engine went back in. I also bought a very nice complete parts car and stripped that down to the bare bones. I put the parts car doors on this one because they were so clean. The drive door had previous work done to it and will need to be repaired. New quarter panels were put on at some point (not by me). there is a little bit of inner fender work to be done still. Rockers are nice. Lower fenders were repaired at some point (not by me). Trunk deck is in great shape. 442 wing is in good shape. Will need alittle work on truck lip but it gets covered with weather stripping anyway. Nice S louvered hood is in great shape with one little dent in it. Nose piece is cracked but could be fixed. I have beautiful black bucket seats and rear seat I think from a grand prix. Original black dash board is in great to perfect condition with Original radio, heat and a/c controls. Center console with shifter is in OK shape. Nice rally steering wheel. Door panels and rear panels are in fair shape but complete. 5 Nice 15" rally wheels with all ringlettes and beauty rings (one ring is bad) Tire are good but dry rotted. Brand new carpet and headliner. Brand new Fusick Rally Pac Gauges $450(also have the wiring for them $100). 100% complete wiring harness (front to back). 3 sets of grills. extra tail lights Front and rear bumper are nice and strait with minor blemishes. New complete body bolts with shims. Almost 2 complete cars worth of stainless trim. In this auction I am including everything I have for the car. lots of extra parts. I have alot more then what is shown in the pictures. This is just what was in the car nothing from the attic. Car needs finish bodywork and is not ready for paint. I have almost everything to finish. I will answer all questions to the best of my ability. Thanks for looking. Reserve is set at $3000.

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?
