If not sure how eBay works don't hesitate to contact me first... I'll be happy to answer any questions! Thank you!

I am listing this 1974 Oldsmobile 88 354 Barrel with about 42,000 miles for an older gentleman in Sarasota, about 1 hour south of me. He's the 2nd owner and is selling because he's moving north to be near his family. This is an accident and rust free vehicle.

Current owner purchased this vehicle from his neighbor's estate in 2003. He had an eye on this car for quite sometime. From what I understand the original owner used to work for GM and brought this Delta straight from the factory to more or less where it is now. This vehicle has been used very little and garaged kept all its life! For the most part, this Oldsmobile is very original except for a new paint job, radio and the wheels. He does not have the original wheels, but I believe that he still has the original radio. Owner spent a considerable amount of money on upgrades as well as restorations. See attached image list of all the work done to this vehicle! The main bulk of the money was spent on a custom paint job, professionally executed and it shows even better in person. Also, he has all original paperwork-literature that came with this car (see attached images). This car runs VERY well... Actually, it was quite impressive for the age! It comes with a 354 Barrel engine. The A/C works but it's weak so it's safe to say that it will need attention. Other than this everything on this Delta works as it should, including lights, gauges, etc!

To sum it up, if you are looking for a very nice turn-key Delta 88 then I feel that this ride deserves serious consideration! Attention: eBay does no longer offer complementary car history reports with more than 6 listings per year, so I leave it to the buyer to pull one if desired.

This is a NO RESERVE LISTING, so this is a good opportunity to acquire a very nice Delta. Serious eBay members only, PLEASE!! As you can see per my feedback I don't play games so extend me the same courtesy. There's a $1000.00 deposit due within 24 hours, so make sure this is what you want before bidding, and that your financials are in order too! Deposits may be returned if an issue with the item arises that I wasn't aware of, or/and I fail to describe suitably. I gladly accept deposits through Pay Pal, but can not accept full balance because Pay Pal now requires to show electronic tracking when shipping any item in order for the seller/buyer to be protected under their policy. So logically, a vehicle can't be shipped using the required electronic tracking system because it can't be placed inside a box nor an envelope! Form of payments: Personal checks (once cleared), bank transfer, cashier's checks (once verified), or cash! I will be glad to assist with shipping arrangements and can even refer you to a trusted transportation company that I personally use, but all costs are buyer's responsibility. No Warranties Whatsoever, sold as is. If you are going to need more than 7 days to collect the vehicle let me know in advance so that I can coordinate things with the owner. Know that I always try to be as accommodating as much as I can, but communication is the key! Also, keep in mind that I am listing vehicles for others, and on very rare occasions a seller has changed his mind or sold the vehicle to someone else during the listing process. Again, this is a far between scenario, but it has happened before, so please keep this remote possibility in mind when deciding to bid in this listing. Feel free to contact me with any questions via email or at 727.522.2531

TO MEMBERS: I am not a dealer, I provide a service to individuals in need of listing their particular vehicles unless stated above. Most of the people that I list for; don't know how to use a computer, don't have the time, and/or don't want the aggravation. I do not take possession of the vehicle nor the title, I just list for them. It's important to express that I just don't list anybody, I check all paperwork, examine items, and test them myself including driving them if applicable. If I don't feel comfortable with the item, or individual I will pass on the opportunity! I consider myself mechanically inclined, and have a very good eye for paint finish, bodywork, etc, for I used to work for a restoration shop back in my days while attending college! Satisfied eBay members is the most important part of any listing transaction that I make. As much as one tries to best describe or list issues about any particular vehicle, it's impossible to account for all possible things that can go wrong with a machinery. It will probably be a good idea to have the vehicle inspected before the end of auction to be 100% sure. Know that I will always try to list as accurate as possible in order to avoid unnecessary issues. Of course it's always challenging to satisfy all members all the time, but I will try to do my best in continuing enjoying my current feedback status with your help! If there's a problem or concerned with your purchase, please allow me the opportunity to address it before leaving a negative feedback! I will do everything in my power to make sure that you are satisfied, within reason of course! So, bid with confidence and contact me with any questions!

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If 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.

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.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

The 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?
