1960 Oldsmobile 88 Convertible
Same owner since 1960
All service records since new
For sale is this nice driving 1960 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 Convertible with the same owner since 1960!! This classic
1960 convertible has been well maintained over the last 56 years including a rebuilt engine and transmission along
with being well taken care of over its life. All service records from day one are with the car!!! This car runs and
drives fantastic. The car has had previous body work and patches in the body and floors put in over the years. Some
of the paint is a shade off and there are imperfections and defects throughout the car including chips, checking
etc.
The car is the classic “10 footer”. There are signs of bondo however nothing is popping though. The interior is
almost all original with the exception of the bottoms of the seats that were recovered. I was told that the
original material is still under these covers and the seats were just split at the seams. The top is in excellent
working condition with a new pump and lift cylinders. The canvas is in perfect condition as well as the rear
plastic window.
The car goes down the road at 75 without a struggle and without issues. I have had many cars in my collection and
this one drives better than all of them, just like a high dollar restoration. The car brakes straight and true.
Radial 4 inch whites are in great shape. Honestly this car needs nothing mechanical and everything works! The car
has recently passed state inspection without issue.
The car will need to be restored for the show car, however this car is ready to go as is and will last for years.
This car is the pure definition of a “driver”.
Due to the age of this car it was never titled in mass. I have a valid Pennsylvania title issued in 1964.

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.
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.
