This unique Cotner-Bevinton ambulance served the United States military for many years, prior to being used by a small volunteer Fire Department in north Texas. Built on an Oldsmobile 98 chassis, there is no divider between the driver and patient compartments. Another unique feature is the dual folding jump seats, with detachable seatbelts for both. This appears to be an AF spec.

The body is intact, some corrosion on the hood edge, and a few other places. The front floor pans need to be replaced. The interior is in good shape, including the head liner, except for a small tear that can be repaired. The paint is faded, and the AF paint is visible in areas. The motor is strong, turns over easily and could be a daily driver with just a little work. The AC compressor is missing, but is a standard GM part.

The great thing about this vehicle is that being built on a standard Olds 98 chassis, parts are still available. I bought this car about 20 years ago, and have very little previous info available. I will try to answer any specific questions you may have, prior to the end of the auction. The mechanical siren was donated to the local VFD already, and the roof light works, but the bottom collar has a dent in it.

I have set the buy it now option at a very fair price for this great car. Don’t let it get away; it may be many years before another comes available.

I have antique tags on this car and I drive it occasionally. It starts, runs, drives, and stops good. The tires are fair but dry rotted. If you are in the Dallas-Fort Worth, or the Austin area, I can deliver to you at $2 mile from my house in Early, Texas. If you are in Central Texas, and would like to inspect this unique ambulance, just contact me, and we can arrange a time.

Car is for sale locally, and has generated interest. If you would like to make a cash offer, use the “ask a question button” to contact me. I will not accept an offer for just the motor.

Deposit of $500 via PAYPAL within 48 hours of deal, remainder by cash or cashiers check.

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.

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.

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.
