This is a very nice driver quality car that is very sharp looking and drives and rides well. While i have have done exstensive restoration to the car some work was performed before i aquired it that work included new exaust system with headers true dual exhaust new shocks and springs. The car shows 41932 on odometer but im sure it more than likely has more miles than that. Although it looks like it would be a low mileage car it is in excelllent condition. The 350 Rocket 2 barrel motor is quiet and runs well. It is a low Mileage rebuilt motor not original to the car but is the correct 5 rocket 350 Previous owner rebuilt motor in 1999 and passed away just months later so motor mileage while unkown must be very very low. Motor does not drip any oil which is surprising for its age. In fact car does not drip any fluids first older car ive had that i can say that about in some time. Car has a very solid and comfortable ride. Transmission is original to I believe and shifts nice! At least $5500 hundred in parts alone into car without labor. Care intrior is nice for age with New Carpet and front Upolstery including all new foam feels great! Front end feels great tracks nice no pulls or shakes. Nice body lines doors close nice with no shutting issues.Origianl Am/fm radio still plays although a bit of extra static between stations. So many new parts I could not list here but some of the larger items are new front windshield new bumpers front and back Vaery Nice Chrome
new emblems new brakes new tires new tail lights new carprt new upostery new vinyl top new PS pump new starter just to name a few
.Complerte documentation of reciepts provided to new owner.
Car is very straight and nice for age way better than average. Could do well at a local show as is!
Minor tihngs that could be corrected tomake perfect include recharging the AC system all components intact eccept the belt clutch is not frozen still pressurized! Needs blower fan switch previous owner put a a switch under dash for heat. Parking brake needs adjustment and gas gauge floats sometes works acurate but not always horn just stp topped working after paint job so i figurew its a ground may be fixed before sold if i get a moment need driveway space have toomany classics lol only reason im selling. Things ive add for safety include pwer brake boaster and new master cylinder as manual brakes were too hrd for me to use. Car has wonderful tight power steering!
This is an excellent example of the First year body style that ran to 72 you willbe hard pressed to find a nicer example at this price! Paint is a beautifil White pearl that really shines and sparkes in sunlight extremly brighter than original creme color. I took pics of any minor flaws that i noticed flaws are minor car shows and presents very very nice.
Its a real shame the former owner did not get to enjoy the freshened motor car was off road since 1999 and he passed away the same year. I get thumbs up when ever i drive it. Is a very comfortable classic.
Shipping is entirely the responsibility of the new owner. I welcome and encorage in person inspection car is over 45 years old so its not perfect but i have been selling cars and classic gm parts on ebay since 1998 so bid with confidence. check my Feedback!!
payment through Paypal is possible and $500 non refundable deposit is required within 3 days of auction close, require certified funds or cash in full payment for autombile before it lweaves my hands or you get title which is clear in my name with no liens.

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.
Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The 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.
