This is a very original and complete car. It does have body damage to the right rear quarter. A nice replacement right rear fender is included. I have not tried to turn the engine over or verified the serial numbers.  

Here's what I know is missing:

  • one wiper arm

  • shifter knob

  • "OLDSMOBILE" letters on trunk

  • windshield garnish joint cover (exterior)

  • Hood rocket.  I have a '51 hood rocket that should fit, but might be slightly different that the '50

Might be missing some minor incidentals, but that's all that I see

 

Additional parts included:

  • nice rear bumper, hood, trunk lid

  • (3) extra rear bumper guards)

  • (10) wheel covers

  • (2) rims

  • (3) headlight rings

  • distributor

  • cigar lighter

  • fender skirts

  • (2) taillight lenses and housings

  • pair of front fender trim

 

The roof and drip rails are solid (see photos).  I took the time to vacuum and blow out the floors and trunk.  The trunk is completely solid, I removed the factory upholstery so you can see the floor.  I did detect  2 pin holes in the rear passenger floor and a few by the rear driveshaft tunnel (see pics)  The grill mustache is damaged and might not be repairable.  The fender moldings are dented, but I have very nice replacements.  The outer upper stainless garnish on the passenger door are dented, I  probably have some nice replacements that I can include.  The rear window dividers are off the car, but can be seen with the photos of parts included.  The front seat looks to be correct, but it is a manual seat, and I can see wires going to what was a power seat.  Not sure if power was optional. 

 

The car is very complete and original down to the washer bottle and check out that coil.  I suspect this was a running car and was parked after the rear quarter was hit, I have not tried to turn the engine over.  I found some old newspapers in the trunk dated 1962, so that may be the last time it was on the road? 

 

The car is located in Reno, NV, clear California title in my name on Non OP with no back fees.  I encourage you to view the car before bidding if possible.  I can help load if you schedule the shipper. The car does not run and will need to be winched on.

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

The folks behind Generation Gap have lost their minds with this latest video. The goal here is to determine the ultimate family cruiser, but the choices are what you would least expect, with a heavily modded 1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser going up against a 2012 Ferrari FF.
You might anticipate an over-40-year-old Oldsmobile to pale in comparison to any modern Ferrari, but this wagon has a ton of secrets under its skin thanks to Lingenfelter. First, it packs a supercharged LS3 V8 with a claimed 650 horsepower and a six-speed manual gearbox. That big upgrade in power is further helped with air suspension and massive Wilwood disc brakes. The result is nothing short of deafening, with blaring yelps whenever the driver even nudges the accelerator.
The alternative sounds just as good, albeit in very different way. The Ferrari's 6.3-liter V12 pumps out 651 hp and 504 pound-feet with a part-time all-wheel drive system. While the FF lacks a lot of the hauling ability of the Olds, it makes up for the deficit in handling, luxury, and in many eyes, simply by having the famous prancing horse on the grille.

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.
