1960 Oldsmobile Super 88 Fiesta Wagon Very Original Patina Survivor-rare 60 Olds on 2040-cars
Arvada, Colorado, United States
Oldsmobile Fiesta Super 88 Wagon. This rare SUPER 88 Fiesta is one of very few 60 Olds wagons remaining. Being a Super it has the 305hp 394 big block. Automatic transmission, factory posi traction rear differential, power steering, power brakes, power front seat and power rear window, all working! The engine runs, but the tranny is weak. The brakes need attention as well. This car retains the original fuel tank that is unique to Fiesta wagons. They are nearly impossible to find and this tank is in great condition. I have replaced the rubber fuel lines and the car is running off of its own tank (not rusty inside). Original paint so there is no hidden bondo or rust in this car besides what minor rust you see in the photos. One small hole on the front floor pan, the rest of the floors are very solid, including the spare tire well. Cracked windshield, the rest of the glass is beautiful. You can purchase new windshields for about $425. Nice stainless and trim. Beautiful Dash with working gauges and speedo, odometer shows 93,519 miles. Sold new in the dry climate of Denver and has been here and in Wyoming since. Last registered in 1973! This car is out of our 60 Olds collection and is a great candidate for a full restoration or enjoy her as she is. This car includes its original poverty caps, the original knock-out keys and retains its original T-3 headlights. Very straight and would be a very easy restoration since absolutely nothing is missing. She is looking for a new home where she will be well cared for and hopefully restored. Please call for more information. Thank you 303 475-4544

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.
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.
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.
