Up for auction is one 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass SX. Supreme body with 442 options. I have owned this car since August 4, 1991. Right after purchase, I removed the original 455 and 400 trans and replaced it with a high performance 455 that I had been building. The motor is bored 30 over with all the goodies. 11:1 compression. It is an "F" block with 1972 W30 "GA" heads. The trans is a 3 speed 400 turbo hydromatic with a shift kit and 2600 stall converter, and a 3:91 rearend gear. The motor is not pretty, but it is fast and powerful.
I have all the receipts and paperwork (engine receipts, owners manual, Protect-O-Plate, Colorado pollution inspection slips from original owners) for everything. The car was in Colorado as late as 1989 according to the paperwork I have. After I had it a couple years, I found the original build sheet above the gas tank. It is a genuine SX model. Option Y79. The only thing the car is missing is the dual gate shifter.
The interior is all very nice, and in the condition it was in when I bought the car. It has always been garaged and kept dry in the almost 22 years I have owned it. Fluids always kept fresh. The vinyl top is in excellent condition without any rust bubbles under it. The body flaws are shown in the pics.
The motor probably only has about 5000 total miles on it since I have owned it. Last summer I rebuilt the Holley 750 dual feed with all new gaskets, power valves, needles and seats. Also, new gas tank sending unit and sway bar links. New coil springs, shocks and A frame bushings were installed when I bought the car. I also have a set of OEM exhaust trumpets and trunk weather stripping that were never installed. It drives and rides great.
ALL original parts (motor, trans, AC unit, brackets, radiator, spare tire, jack, etc.) are included in this sale. Since this is a special model car, I DO NOT want to separate it from it's original equipment. As it sits right now, it could be put back to original. What you do with the car and parts once it leaves me is up to you, but this auction includes everything.
Please email with any questions you might have, and I highly recommend looking at the car before bidding. Upon completion of the auction, I would like a down payment of $1000 via Paypal within 24 hours. The rest of payment in cash or Bank cashiers check upon pick up of the car within 7 days. Thanks for the interest.
On Mar-21-13 at 22:20:47 PDT, seller added the following information:
It could use a serpentine belt system. The belt tends to get a little glazed after hot rodding around. It also could use new header collector gaskets. I didn't get to it before the weather turned.

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.
Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Ever 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 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?
