Real 1970 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible 455. Special order west coast car, 1 of 1, original special order dark metallic brown with brown interior. Rust free car from Las Vegas, Ram Air hood was added. All original body panels, (other than current hood), doors close tight and easy, matching numbers, engine rebuilt by previous owner, runs strong, starts quick, very dependable. Dark brown interior is in good condition. The car was original dark brown from factory, now white with gold white stripes. Turbo 400, PS, PDB, Factory Air conditioning (blow cold/heats hot), power top, power seat, cruise control, dash tack, power truck button, and tilt wheel. Factory 442 rally wheels with new tires.

The body is very straight. All panels align well. The paint is about 4 years and shows extremely well. The interior looks good, not perfect. Seats in great shape, door panels and seat head rest have a couple of small scratches and showing some age. Dash top is very clean but plastic around stereo is cracked. Cruise control does not work. The carpet showing signs of age (a little faded), convertible top is in good shape, guessing about 6 years old (do not have boot). Just recently noticed a couple rust bubbles on lower rear quarter in front of wheel and lower front fender behind wheel (see picture). All of the glass is good and windows roll up easy. Over all very impressive car.

The car runs and drives very well. Engine fires right up. New Holley carb, new brakes, all new front and rear suspension, A/C compressor, and new exhaust. Transmission shifts smooth. Drives straight and true, very solid car.

I feel I represented and described the car as accurately as possible. I can be reached at 513-383-5219. This car is great investment that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Fun car to drive on weekends, date nights or every day driver, clearly a head turner. My life is too busy with kid’s sports, family, and work responsibilities to enjoy and I’m tired of moving it around and worrying about it, time to sell. Thanks for looking and good luck!

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?
