Well here we go! A car from the Lambrecht Chevrolet auction! It's not one of the under 5 mile cars but has low miles and from our research is the correct mileage. We found the registration in the glove box from 1971 and a service record from Conoco both in the 51,000 mile range.
The car was parked on Mr. Lambrechts family farm and never moved until the day we bought her. The dirt had settled up around it and we could tell it was there for many years. Luckily it was not packed in the trees, you could tell which cars had been in the trees, they all had major body damage! This car has only small weed tree rubbings on the top and trunk.
Far as rust goes, the car is in great condition. The passengers floor is the worst. Other areas are the trunk weatherstrip lip and the passengers lower underside. Also the rear quarter panel is starting to get a crack along the line where it folds under.
When we got the car back to the shop the only thing we gave her is a bath, we removed the seats and carpet to check floors. A solid vacuuming and power washed the underside.
At present time we are just going to try and sell it the way it is, but in the future if it does not sell the plan is to restore and update the drive train and appearance.
From the research this car model only came with a 330 rocket motor with automatic trans, there was never an option with a stick shift, but in 65 you could get one with a 4 speed along with 2 motor options. We suspect that someone took a 65 or newer drivetrain and installed it.
Thanks for looking and bidding. Any additional info or knowledge of the vehicle you may have would be greatly appreciated.
I reserve the right to end auction at any time due to selling car or deciding not to sell
Also I have the capability to deliver car for a fee if you need.
DEPOSIT IS NONE REFUNDABLE SO BE SURE YOU ARE NOT WAISTING YOUR'S OR OUR'S TIME

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?
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.
