ok, here it is. one owner barn find. have original title and proteco plate to prove it. the owner drove it until 1980, then parked it in a garage. and that is where I found it. has a 350 rocket, with an auto trans. power steering and brakes. convertible. I had to put points, plugs, and new fuel pump. to get her going. runs great. then it needed a new water pump, and master cylinders, with new rear wheel cylinders. and new rear brakes. I drove this car down the road, the car runs good, but sitting on those old bias ply tires for 33 years. I think they are egg shaped. (brakes need bleed better). had to put a new voltage regulator on it. now the battery charges. lights work(even the dash lights and radio). it has a few dents here and there. trunk lid, pass side rear by bumper, and front of hood. nothing a good body man would have any trouble with. some rust on bottom of doors, and bottom of front fenders. I will put a close up pictures of these things. the interior is a strange color combo. car is green with a white top, and white interior with black carpet. and the door panels are white on top and black on bottom. the interior is in great shape seats are not torn or dry. dash is just about perfect. the top goes up and down easily. but needs replace (has glass rear window). THERE ARE NO HOLES IN FLOOR BOARDS OR TRUNK, AND FRAME IS VERY SOLID. ROCKERS ALSO ARE JUST ABOUT PERFECT INSIDE AND OUT. drivers side rear quarter is the worst of the car, it is rusted a little and behind it. has 1 or 2 small leaks( powers steering and tranny pan gasket. it really needs the radiator flushed. my hose is froze up and I could not flush it. windows go up and down just fine, windshield has a crack along the bottom. the previous own pulled most the chrome off when he parked it. he was going to repaint it. I have, I think about 95% of the chrome, I see one of 2 pieces not there as well as a headlight bezel. has hood inserts. like an old 442. he started to sand on the hood and rear quarter. it had surface rust and some spot primer, it looked terrible. so I sanded it some, and painted the black primer on the hood and drivers rear quarter. this is a rare 1 owner find and is worthy of a restoration. come look at it, I will put it up on a lift so you can get a good look under neath. that is the best part. this car was zeibarted (rust proofed) from day one. it does run and drive, but will need to be trailered home.

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.
eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant
Wed, 18 Jun 2014If 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.
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?
