You are looking at a really nice 1966 Olds 442 equipped with the tri-power V8 with automatic transmission, power steering and drum brakes.

Owned for the past 25 years by the current owner.

This car has been used as a weekend driver and local show duty. Owner has had health issues in the past 10 years and this rare and unusual 442 so there has not been much use which is what is forcing his decision to sell this vehicle. He had purchased a very similar one brand new and always lamented about selling it which is what led him to purchase this one so many years ago.

In driving this car, it drives surprisingly original. The motor runs like you remember these Olds V8's to run with turbine like smoothness. The auto transmission shifts as it should. The brakes work as well as 4 wheel drum brakes work without any pulling or unusual behavior and actually stops really well.

The paint is in really good shape and has some minor imperfections but shows really well and is not in need of any repairs. There are some issues under the paint that are not easily seen, that is, until you know they are there. According to the owner, they have been there for over 10 years and have not gotten any worse. The areas are easily repaired and does not require a complete repaint. We could certainly repair these areas for you if so desired before picking up or shipping the car for extra cost.

The underside is dry and solid. No rust visible anywhere. We checked the engine stamp pad and it is blank so we cannot authenticate this as being the original engine or not.

Everything works as it should, no unusual engine noises or smoke.

This 442 is just a good fairly original car that needs a good home and a new caretaker to keep this piece of automotive history going!

 

We have this 442 on consignment and it is for sale locally in our showroom.

If you have any questions feel free to call Melvin at 845-712-5500 during normal Eastern business hours or email through ebay. If you'd like to make a serious offer please use the make an offer feature or call us directly.

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.
