Great G-Body I am selling. I cannot find the time to enjoy it and make it how I envisioned it. Listing ends Saturday morning dont miss it....and Please read the entire listing...its everything I know about it.
I was told it was original 40k miles and it was stored since 1991. I think it might be 140k miles from the dust on it. I honestly did not care if it was 40 or 140 as clean and original as it is - thats what i wanted. The interior is in nearly perfect shape and everything is original. No rust - its all original paint except for the gold strips I just did as I had plans to paint it deep midnight blue metal flake with the gold stripes to match the Gold accent wheels and I wanted to make sure i had did the stripes the correct width so it looked right. Its not supposed to be a good job or anything - i just kinda misted it on. oddly people have told me they like the stripes and thought they were on it all along. I bought it in Arizona last summer and drove it back. Before leaving Arizona it got a new gas tank and fuel pump and fuel filter. the coolant was flushed. New battery and starter and alternator. It had Koni Shocks installed. Starts Runs and stops straight. Has no problem spinning the wheels with the posi rear axle. I stored t all winter. It does not leak any fluids. Only faults are the faded paint, i have lost the door key and had to remove the trunk lock to open it - must use a screw driver to open the trunk unfortunatly. not a hard repair. i remove the door ding strips. the a/c does not work. The headliner is coming down is a couple spots. Right now I have two sets of wheels I was considering for it - seen in the pictures. The first is the original factory 442 wheels that have been custom refinished wth black with hurst olds gold metal flake powdercoat, machined on a cnc machined and powdercoated clear over the machined surfaces and bfg radials with a few miles on them. the other wheels i was considering are 1977 Kelsey Hayes turbines that were also restored with black powdercoat and then done in gold satin machine finish and new bfg t/a radials. I will sell either set of wheels/tires with the car for an additonal $1500 on top of the auction end price if you like either set. I wanted to build a 70s street machine out of it that had a kind of hurst olds tribute look to it. Otherwise the car will come with a set of plain stock steel gm wheels and newer tires with good tread. I will post pics of these soon. Please this is a NO RESERVE auction I am paying for, please do not bid if you do not have the funds to buy it within 7 days of auction end. And please I really only want cash payment at pick up. But I understand that you might not be close enough to pick it up so please Contact me if you want to buy it and ship it before bidding. Feel free to come and see the car before bidding. I am in Royal Oak, 4521 Delemere Blvd. Please contact me for an appointment. Thanks for checking out my olds. Please ask me any questions. On Jun-07-14 at 10:23:10 PDT, seller added the following information: Sorry i think i am wrong, the car fax says it is a 5.0L. I thought that was a 307 in and oldsmobile. I am told it is a 305 by another ebayer? Feel free to let me know - not out to mislead anyone. Regardless it is stock/original to my knowledge. On Jun-07-14 at 16:42:21 PDT, seller added the following information: Sorry...a paypal deposit IS NOT required. I did not mean to put that in. Cash at pick up is fine. If your don't want a bad deal...just a good home for it. If you were not happy with it for some reason I would not want any bad feeling and wouldn't hold anyone to it. I'm pretty confident I described it accurately and I think the next owner will appreciate it. |

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.
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.
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?
