1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 W30 Clone on 2040-cars
Belmar, New Jersey, United States
|
1970 rust free Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 W30 clone in great condition. Engine is a 350 rocket 4 barrel all rebuilt by the previous owner with a mild cam. Motor runs excellent, but could use a tune up. Trans. is a turbo 350 that shifts perfectly, rear is a 12 bolt, I believe its a posi (both wheels spin when on jackstands). Car has power steering, power brakes, dual exhaust that almost new. Has been sitting for about two years in a dry garage, needs master cylinder and tune up, but drives awesome as long as you dont have to panic stop. No rot in trunk, one tiny spot of rust through in the center of the passenger front floor, the size of a half dollar, easy fix. The body had been patched with patch panels on the lower fronts and one quarter, done nicely bye a professional shop, but a couple bubbles just starting, driveable as is. The doors are mint underneath, a couple bubbles, easily fixed. The trunk lid has some bondo, and I would re do it. W30 wing is mint, hood needs light weight hinges, and minor body work, is a bolt on aftermarket hood, very good quality. Glass is all good, windows roll up and down with ease. Have spare parts in the trunk and some moldings for the hood and wheel wells. This is an easy restoration, can be driven while you restore, was an air conditioned car, just missing compressor. Solid, solid car, that has a $5000 pearl paint job that needs minor touch up I described, painted 5 years ago. Do the master cylinder, and drive this car anywhere. Has a fully transferable Conneticut registration, Conn. does not have titles. Please DO NOT bid unless you are ready to buy, ship and pay for this car. Feel free to text me with any questions, 908-907-2414

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.
This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]
Thu, 09 Oct 2014The 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 2014General 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.
