Here is a very unmolested 70 442 factory W-25 ram air car, first time offered for sale since 1976


this car was bought from the original owner in 1976 for what was the second owners daughter  (which is where the white lace stripes come in)
the car was driven until 1986 when it spun a main bearing, the car was taken to the local dealership and the engine was completely rebuilt with W-30 cam,pistons so-on so the car runs awsome!!! it was then parked in 1990 and put in a storage unit until about 2 months ago, they pulled the car out and put it up for sale, it was taken to the garage, all fluids changed and ready to be back on the road

today i was cleaning the car and noticed the build sheet under the passenger seat, so i pulled the seat out and now have the original build sheet in almost perfect condition everything is readable and nothing is missing

this car is all number matching front to back top to bottom

car was optioned a little weird but nice, has working a/c,ps,pdb,buckets,console,power windows,3:23 posi 12 bolt rear all options work except the back windows do not want to roll down, the drivers side and passenger side work fine

this car can be driven as is or is a great cantidate for restoration as you will not be hunting for any parts unless you want nos parts in better shape

body is very solid with the nicest floor pans i have ever seen, trunk floor is good and solid, the only rust is on the front fender bottoms, and behind each rear tire, all can easily be fixed with a small patch panel, frame is rock solid

the rh fender has a dent shown in picture, otherwise it is just normal little dings here and there, front bumper is bent and would need rechromed, back bumper has dings and would need rechromed, grilles are cracked but can be repaired

no rust under the vinyl top at all

no rust at the bottom of either front or back glass

interior is original and worn, front seats have tears, door panels are worn, headliner has a few holes,back seat is in nice shape, dash is nice no cracks

as i said this car runs and drives great i would not be afraid to drive it anywhere! but i also cannot guarantee you will make it the car is old!

they are only original once and for me i would just drive the car as is, other than the lace not a big fan

reserve right to end auction early

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.

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.

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.
