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!

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.

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If you have a need to relive the 1970s, then here is the vehicle for you. This groovy blast from the past is a 1976 GMC Motorhome currently for auction in Florida on eBay Motors, and it is one green machine - just not in the modern sense.
The seller claims that this beast has had just two owners and has covered a mere 61,308 miles in its decades on the road. It's reportedly never been restored or repainted and comes with all of the necessary books and manuals. A 7.5-liter (455-cubic-inch) Oldsmobile V8 with a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission powering the front wheels propels this far-out RV, and the double set of rear wheels out back use a self-leveling air suspension to provide a cushy ride.
The purported low miles and good condition really make this GMC a stand out, though. The exterior combination of lime stripes and beige with just a touch of green is like nothing else on the road today. Plus, the polished bumpers and wheels make it all pop. Inside, it's even better with monochromatic green upholstery and shag carpet. It features everything you'd ever need on a long trip, including a bathroom, kitchenette and lots of seating. The only hint of modernization is an HD TV next to the stove, but its size is a perfect fit for the hole there.

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.
