Classic 1953 Oldsmobile Deluxe 88 in awsome conditon! This car is a true western well taken care of classic that runs as good as it looks. This car is rust free and I mean no rust ever car that runs and drives like the day it rolled off the dealership lot.
The car has brand new Coker wide white wall radials, rebuilt front original shocks (cost $400+ for rebuild), new brakes, new wheel cylinders and master plus the emergency brake works like a charm. The factory 303 v8 has been rebuilt with rebuilt generator, new regulator, rebuilt carb, and new correct battery. The hydromatic 4 speed automatic transmission has also been completely rebuilt and works flawlessly.
Body has been painted once to our knowledge many many years ago and has only a few faded areas but otherwise in great shape. Again, this is a rust free original! Trim is all there and is in great shape!
Interior is awsome with the front and back seat being recovered and the original headliner fully in tact and undamaged but could use a steam cleaning. The dash is stunning with all the trim in perfect shape, the gauges all have clear faces and all are functioning like new even the gas gauge. The interior lighting works when the doors are open and all gauge lighting, turn signals, high beams and factory radio is all in new operating condition.
THIS CAR COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL LIKE NEW OWNERS MANUAL WITH THE ORIGINAL OWNERS NAME AND INFO FILLED OUT ON THE SERVICE POLICY PAGE, AND SALES BROCHURE PLUS A TON OF RECIEPTS.
This is a fantastic un-molested car that you can drive anyplace! Car cruises with no effort at 70+ and is very stable and new car quiet inside with no funky noises, it is truely like riding on air.
I do not say this much if ever but this classic would have NO problem being driven cross-country back home or on vacation....perfect mechanically!
CLEAR OHIO TITLE IN HAND! not salvage

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.

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.

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

The 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.
