Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

This is a real W30 4 speed car that sat for many years in Kentucky. Runs and drives very nicely. We have driven it 8 thousand miles since the frame off restoration. It still has the original numbers matching engine block, but is not in the car now but is included , the original VIN stamped frame without any damage, also an original sheet I found under the seat that shows the W30 option and the body number. The engine is a strong running 69 455 with E heads that is completely rebuilt with forged pistons, the W30 aluminum 455 intake is on the engine now. Some of the options include the Original GM ram air hood, original air cleaner assembly, original red inner fenders, tic toc tach, bucket seats, non power disc brakes.The transmission is a Muncie wide ratio with a new Hurst 71 442 shifter. The rear end is a 1971 positraction that is quiet and has been gone through as well.

It is not an unmolested body, it has had some work on the shell with some panels replaced. If you are looking for a never rusted unaltered car, you will need to keep looking. It has been restored to a driver quality condition, not a museum car. The body is very straight and has been painted the original bittersweet color with PPG basecoat clearcoat.

The interior is all new Legendary panels, headliner and vinyl, it also has new bumpers. The floor is very nice as well as the trunk. This is not a bondo buggy. It is very sound and has held up very well with all the miles we put on it.

When I got it it had the original motor still in it but was blown and the original H heads were long gone. The original carb, distributor, 4 speed and rear end have been lost in years past but these things can be found elsewhere if you want them.

Plan on seeing a car that has some minor scratches and flaws. Some of the trim pieces aren't perfect as well as various items under the hood such as the paint on the master cylinder and power steering unit etc, the original grilles are showing some wear and should be replaced if you want a perfect look. The rim paint isn't perfect and the tires and caps aren't perfect either. I was going to put chrome ss1 wheels on it eventually. The red inner fenders are 42 years old and show some age but I like a little patina on a real muscle car. It has a Holley 4 bbl carb on it now, original exhaust manifolds, new 2.5 in. aluminized exhaust with Dyno Max super turbos. The radio and tach are currently not working.

The picture of the paperwork is of the original document and NOT A FAKE OR COPY. The vin numbers on the block are small and hard to read but it can be read through the imperfections. It is NOT A RESTAMP. The block looks usable and doesn't have a ridge or damage.

To take this car to the next level it would need the suspension parts restored again, Dash detailed better, New wheels and tires, Please call with questions. I can send videos of it running and driving. I will be adding more pics soon or I can send some to you.

The next owner can take this car to a higher level of restoration without losing any money or drive it as it is and have some fun with your investment.

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.

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If 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.

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.
