1968 Oldsmobile 442 Base 6.6l on 2040-cars
Elk, Washington, United States
|
1968 Oldsmobile 442, 37,500 original miles, numbers matching engine, trans, and rear diff. 6.6 liter/400 cubic inch V8, turbo 400 3 speed auto, T series (same as W-30) 3.42 geared 12 bolt posi differential. Power steering and power brakes. Rally Pac gauges with in dash Tic-Toc-Tach. Tach and clock both work great. Code E Nocturne blue paint, brand new four wheel slotted/drilled disc brakes with powder coated calipers, powder coated BMR lowering springs, pst sway bar ends links and bushings, new gabriel shocks, stainless steel brake hard lines, and braided stainless flex lines. New corvette master cylinder, booster, and proportioning valve. New 18x8 & 18x9 staggered wheels and tires. Not a W30 car but has the W30 ram air cold air intake with twin scoops under the bumper. Interior in great stock condition, front seat has been reupholstered and the carpet has been replaced, everything else is original. Original bumper jack assembly still in the trunk. Only 36,000 1968 442's were ever made, and not many have survived with such low miles, finished the last week of April 1968 at the Fremont, California plant, it's build plate matches the vin, unlike some 442's that were taken off other assembly lines to be finished. I have the original protecto-plate, and owners manual, the original stereo, and all the original brakes, springs, and master cylinder/booster boxed up if someone would like them, to have the option of returning it to stock. I will say that it rides, handles and stops WAY better than stock now though. It has enough braking power that I now feel comfortable driving in heavy traffic. Stock 442 four wheel drums leave a lot to be desired... Car was repainted in 2010, looks and shows extremely well. Runs and drives great. New spark plugs, wires, pcv valve, valve cover gaskets, turn signal cam, temp sending unit, rear view mirror, wiper switch,fuel pump, and more. Feel free to ask any further questions, it's hard to find low mile 442's with numbers matching drive train nowadays, and it has $5000+ in brand new brakes, springs, wheels, and tires that give it great curb appeal. Thanks!

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.
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.
