1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 sport coupe.One of 142 4-speed sport coupes made.Rolling body. No motor or transmission. NEEDS TOTAL RESTORATION. 75000 original miles. Factory black car with gold stripes.Manual steering and brakes. Bucket seats, standard steering wheel, AM radio.I have the Protecto-plate, Pre- delivery check list, original certificate of title and Virginia safety inspection slips from1973-1987 showing mileage.The broadcast card has not been found. I know the complete history of the car. The W-30 was bought new at Jack Schmidt Oldsmobile in Columbus Ohio.Shortly thereafter a 4.66 ring and pinion was installed. By 1973, the W-30 had made its way to Virginia.It was now with its 3rd owner. A few months later,it was also on its 3rd service replacement block. From 1973-1987 the W-30 was driven and pampered.It was taken off the road in 1987 hoping to get restored one day. From 1987 to present the car suffered two setbacks.Part of the roof fell in and put a dent in the front passenger side of the roof.It did not bend the inner structure of the roof. The worst blow happened in the last year. Some scum of the earth found the car and decided he was going to help himself.They jacked the car up and took the 12- bolt posi, M-21, bellhousing,ram-air air cleaner, the correct carb and distributor,the W-30 intake,F heads,exhaust manifolds,radiator,, original water pump and passenger side red fenderwell.They couldn't get the battery box out to steal the drivers side fenderwell.Yea, that's right,up to a year ago the W-30 had all the hard to find original parts. Except for the dent in the roof the car is very straight.It does have rust in the quarters and fenders. The floorpans have several small holes.The trunk pan is outstanding.It looks like the day it left the factory.The frame and trunk drop offs look great.Please E-mail me any questions. Thanks |

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.
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.
