This car has the rare L66 Turnpike Cruiser package. It is documented with the original window stickers, it was purchased new in Tacoma Washington. This car has the original 400 E block C head engine like the 442 came with. Yet these are a two barrel from the factory, It has the original TH400 automatic switch pitch transmission, (like the 442 came with) it also has the special 2:56 rearend exclusive to the L66 Turnpike Cruiser. This package is very rare and special. I will post a link to the road test information about these awesome high speed highway cruisers. This car has the original engine that has been rebuilt professionally by Eastco Machine in Gresham Oregon. I have the reciepts and machinists build notes. That and lots of other reciepts and information is put into a binder that goes with the car when purchased. The transmission is the original 67 OH code Th400 for this car. It has been rebuilt, The rearend is the correct and original 2:56 ratio and has been resealed and inspected with no issues. The drum brakes have been rebuilt all around. The master Cylinder and brake booster are also fresh. The Engine has all new hoses and belts, new fuel pump, carburetor is the correct original 2 barrel and has been professionally rebuilt and recolored as it should be. The radiator has been serviced and is correct, belts are new. The distributor has been upgraded to a pertronix for more effective spark. The exhaust has been replaced with full 2 1/2 dual with a cross over and flowmaster mufflers. The suspension has all new bushings, tie rods, balls joints, springs and shocks. The car has been repainted the original color Y code Saffron Yellow. The original vinyl top has been replaced as it came new. the windshield is new and has new seals. The weatherstrips are new for doors, roof rail, trunk, window felts and hood bumpers. The engine compartment has been detailed in the correct black, the correct and original Climate Combustion Control air cleaner has been restored and looks awesome. The original bumpers have been rechromed and the brackets have been powder coated. We finally found a decent set of Rally 1 wheels for this car. So they are now on it with a fresh set of GT Performance radial 235 60 14 tires. This is one very nice car. The engine has been started and cam broke in with a full performance tune up. It has only a few miles on the drivetrain. The engine is not broke in yet. The trunk has been fully detailed with the correct jack, and jacking instructions as well as a new trunk mat. This car has the original never been rotten floors, doors, and body. The interior has been redone with new factory style seat upholstery on the correct and original split bench seat with an arm rest, new carpet, and new headliner.

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.

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.

Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

Ever 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.
