Seller Note: This is a relist where it almost made reserve. I will be a bit slow with questions this week for business reasons, but will respond as promptly as possible. Please bear with us.

Seller Note: The silly lowball offers and crazy trades are getting out of hand. 1. The reserve price IS the minimum price. We all know it is worth more than that; I just don't want to pay Mecum or Barrett/Jackson crazy seller & buyer fees.
2. The ONLY thing we will trade for is what I'm going to build with the sales proceeds... a 1969 Trans/Am convertible with a 2012 CTS-V drivetrain/interior/suspension.

Multiple Show Winner

This car wins about every show it enters, including the Texas Gulf Coast Oldsmobile show.

The original yellow flags and mounts were long gone, so we had correct replicas custom fabricated for easy mounting to the rear frame. They are removable with basic hitch pins.

Color copies of the original documentation papers are framed for presentation at car shows (the originals are in a secure place)

The car is in fantastic condition and runs beautifully. The R12 A/C blows cold with a new A6 compressor.

Sale includes Top Boot, Doc Frame, Trophies and Plexi Show Board
If you are in Texas, the 1972 Texas License Plates will also go with the car. It was titled with those plates. Clear Texas Title with no liens.

Won Gulf Coast Olds Show in 2012, Guitars & Cars Top 40 in Houston award 2013, plus many others.

This is an awesome and rare part of racing history, and is more fun to drive than a mutual fund. Drive it home

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.

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.
