Mount Airy, Maryland, United States

What you are bidding on is my father's extremely well maintained 1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88. Dad drove it until he was 97 years old. It was his pride and joy. I have done all of the maintenance on this car from the moment that he bought it new (certified mechanic). Below is just a fraction of the work done to this car:
The car was stripped and repainted with a PPG base coat /clear coat in 2000. I used new side mouldings and restripped the car as new from the factory. In 2004 the front end was rebuilt, while a new gas tank was installed along with sending unit and fuel hoses. The car has a full dual exhaust. In 2006, I installed new brake lines and hoses, master cylinder, brake pads and shoes. In 2009 a new water pump, thermostat, and hoses, as well as a new power steering pressure hose and return hose. In 2010, a new heater core went in. In 2011 a new head liner, heater control valve plugs, ignition module, new fuel pump and hoses, new oil pressure sending unit, new rear brake shoes, new calipers, hoses and ceramic pads along with flushing the braking system. I also changed the transmission filter and oil around this time with swapping the fuel hoses to "green coded" for all of the current fuel additives. In 2013 i replaced engine mounts and trans mount along with a trailer hitch (for our bike rack). I have only given you a sample of the care that this car has received. You will also get the full record book with the purchase of this car. It has had better care than my spoiled border collie (who has never ridden in it). The car has a lot of style, receiving compliments everywhere it goes. It is also as reliable as anything that i have ever driven. Last year we drove it to my Army reunion in Myrtle Beach almost immediately after returning from a trip to NY. The A/C is R-12 and is like a freezer. The vinyl top has always had top dressing applied to protect the original material. The car has been garage kept since new. Feel free to ask any questions, additional pictures are available upon request. Legal:

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]
Thu, 09 Oct 2014The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?
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.
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.
