At auction is my very nice 1991 Oldsmobile Toronado.  You will love this car! 
A rare car in General Motors history and one of the very first with the VIC (Visual Information Center) display touch screen that are so common today. The display is a CRT type, not one of those LCD displays that are hard to read in daylight. 

All original. 285000 miles. The car is Loaded.
Factory options include:  Driver / Passenger power seats and Recliner, Power trunk lid release, Front and rear floor mats, Pulse Wiper system, Rear Window Defroster,  Rear Seat Reading lamps, Lighted Entry, Power Mirrors, Lighted Visor Mirror, 3800 V6 gas engine, Tilt  Steering wheel,  Twilight Sentinel headlamps, AM/FM Cassette, power antenna, radio and temp controls on the steering wheel.

This car has the Visual Information Center touch screen that controls the car's radio, climate control, date book and calender, compass, trip computer, fuel economy calculator, oil change monitor, and comprehensive digital engine gauges.  Also provides a graphical display of all warnings regarding the car such as low fuel, hot engine, or even door ajar.
The entire system can be converted between English and metric systems with the touch of a button.

I love this car, and one of the best I have owned. It never left me stranded in the 16 years I have owned it.
It is very fun to drive with plenty of power.  Handles very well.  I hate to sell it but I have 5 cars already and need to scale down my fleet in my old age.

I purchased this car in 1998 from original owner who was an electronics engineer. He kept the car in tip top shape and had the dealer do all repairs and maintenance.  I too am an electronics engineer and maintained it with the same love and care as he did, and why this car is in such great condition for it's age today.  I have the shop manual and did most of my own maintenance and repairs.  I have a list of ALL the work and maintenance that had been done to this car over the years.

Everything in this car works as it should except for the interior lights that should come on when you lift the door handle or press the key fob for interior lights.  This is due to a bad switch in the driver's side door handle, and I just didn't bother to fix it..  The lights do  come on when you open the door.  I disabled the anti- theft circuit which senses and identifies the key as the key matched to the car.  It can be re-enabled.

Other than that, EVERYTHING else works including the cassette player.

This is a California Car, so there is no rust.  The exterior is very nice as you can see.  With in the last year I treated the car  a new paint job  new  battery, a new rebuilt transmission, front end control arms, velocity joints, struts and shocks. Tires are in great condition too.
The spare tire has never been out of trunk.


The  Interior is still in good  condition for it's age with some signs of wear as shown in photos. The dashboard has cracks as you would expect from a car this age but you wouldn't know if because of  the nice matching dash mat which covers the dash very nicely.
The car has original floor mats.  The headliner is still in good shape with  a few tears, see photos. The sunvisors show signs of wear with small tears in the fabric as shown.

Most of the miles on this car are freeway miles going to work on an evening shift. No stop and go, so there is  easy wear on the car.  The car gets between 18 and 30 MPG.

I have all original books that came with the car including a shop manual.  Wheel locks tool.
I have a record of all  maintenance that was done on this car since it was new with mileage and date.
The car has been very reliable and I expect it go go for many more miles without any problems.
You will not be disappointed.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General 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 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.
