Tucson, Arizona, United States

1955 Oldsmobile Super 88 2Dr Holiday Hardtop. I am selling this vehicle for a friend of the family, but I am very familiar with the process it under went. The car received a complete frame off rotisserie restoration. Every nut and bolt on the car was inspected and replaced if necessary. They chose a very solid base to start with. The body was sandblasted twice (second time was on the rotisserie). The chassis was also sand blasted and any areas that were questionable were refurbished. The drive train was rebuilt. The bumpers was re-plated. All the glass is new. All rubber is new (weather-stripping, seals, gaskets, etc.).all the lights and gauges work, the radio works, the gas tank was professionally cleaned and new sending unit installed. The interior was restored using original patterns. The exhaust was upgraded to dual. The wiper motor was upgraded from vacuum to electric. The entire process was several years in the making. No detail left unnoticed. The result is an incredibly beautiful automobile. Accessories/Options: 324/4bbl, power steering, power brakes, Hydramatic transmission, dash clock, tinted glass (all windows), back up lights, courtesy lights, parking brake warning light. Colors are the ever popular 50's combination Red/White. This is a turn key classic that needs nothing. It can be driven anywhere without worry, or concern. Fly in, drive home (or to your local car show). Spare tire/jack did not make the photos, but will be included. $500 PayPal deposit is required within 24 hours. Full payment is required within 7 days or the car will no longer be available (to you). Shipping is buyer responsibility (I will assist with loading). Please ask all questions before you bid (emails are quickly returned). I can store the vehicle for a short period of time after the auction, but no longer (unless the car is exported). Arizona title is signed, and notarized. Bidders with negative feedback will have their bids cancelled/deleted. Please bid to win. You will not be disappointed. Thanks for looking. Paul.

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.
