1980 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS 442 Here is a very nice and straight 1980 Olds Cutlass 442. This car is a very inexpensive way to get started into the classic automobile trend, or just a fun car to bomb around in! One of the rarest of the 442's ever built. There were 886 units built for the 1980 model year. Only 342 of these vehicles were sold in the US, while the majority of them were sold in Canada. 346 of the total number of cars were of a white / gold color scheme, and the remaining 540 were given a black / gold color scheme. That breaks down to approximately 205 black / gold cars were sold in the US. This particular car has had the low-hp 350 motor removed, and a stout 455 big block out of a 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass. This engine was built with a mild cam, and installed in 2000. It only has around 7,000 miles on it now. The transmission was upgraded to a 700 R-4 to handle the extra power of the big block. This was also installed in 2000. The rear axle is equipped with Richmond 3.42 gears, and an Auburn carrier. The entire exterior of the car was repainted in its factory original colors in 1999. At that same time; the front seats were recovered; the headliner was replaced, and the sun visors were redone. The brakes and mechanics are in very good working order. The factory air conditioning works very well, and blows cold! Even the factory cruise control works! With the upgraded drive train... this car flat out moves! A deposit of $500 will be expected within 48 hours of auction end via PayPal. Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and payments. Car is listed for sale locally, so auction may end early. Vintage Motorcars, LLC Sun Prairie, WI 53590 608-318-1945 - Office 608-345-2581 - Cell |

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.
eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant
Wed, 18 Jun 2014If 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.
