FOR SALE: 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass "S" convertible  Cutlass Supreme

This is a numbers matching car, the motor and VIN numbers match.  Car is garaged and available for local inspection.  Clean title in hand.  Please, no tire kickers, serious inquiries only!

I have owned the car since the early '90's.  Strong motor.  Had a top end rebuild around 1996.  Was parked/garaged permanently shortly thereafter.  Odometer reads 176k, maybe less than 25k on the rebuild.  The car used to be a daily driver before it was parked running in '98 and has been garaged ever since.  The gas tank will have to be removed/replaced.  The two rear fenders are rusted through (previous bad resto) and will need to be replaced.  Both front quarters are solid and need minor work, hood is solid, floor boards and trunk are solid. Doors are a little saggy but the car is for the most part straight.  Floor pans and trunk pan are solid.  This convertible Cutlass has a Rocket 350 with a Holly 4 barrel, 3 speed automatic and dual exhaust manifold.  Transmission has a minor main seal leak leftover from when the motor was pulled.  Not catastrophic but needs addressing.  Options include A/C (disconnected), power windows (all original/tinted glass), power locks, original glass convertible top rear window.  Front bumper was new/re-chromed at some point and the rear is in good shape (May need re-chrome) 

Good bones for a resto-mod or straight resto.  Needs a little TLC.  This auction is running concurrent with local listings and the seller reserves the right to cancel the auction.  Email with inquiries.

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.

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.
