1973 Oldsmobile Toronado on 2040-cars
Corpus Christi, Texas, United States
|
This car is in wonderful condition for it's age and has only 19,000 miles. It has been wonderfully cared for and and has had no paint work. The interior is outstanding and on a scale of 1 thru 10 it is a solid 9.0. The chrome is also in outstanding condition. The car was undercoated when new and there is very little to no evidence of rust on the underside or on any of the body panels of the car. Please see the underside pictures of the car that I have provided. The car was purchased new in Florida and appears to have remained there as the couple also had a home in Michigan. The second owner appears to have purchased the car in an Estate sale sometime in 2011. I acquired the car last year. The car has new tires, new mufflers, new water pump and the A/C was upgraded by the previous owner. In addition the car has had a Viper alarm system installed with power door locks and the rear view mirror was upgraded to show temperature and compass headings. The paint is in good condition on both sides of the car; however, the paint on the hood and trunk are showing their age and will need attention. There is a small dent in the front area of the hood that may not be visible in the hood picture. See the picture where I have pointed to the dent. Once again, the entire interior of the car is almost flawless. Please take the time to look at each and every picture and keep in mind that this car is now 41 years of age. There are very few of the second generation Toronados that have survived that are in this condition both inside and out and with low miles. If you are shopping for one these cars make sure that you have good pictures of the underside of the car. The underside of this car is amazing for it's age. The car is being driven some each week and the actual mileage may be slightly more than what is being shown in the picture. If you have any questions on this car, you can contact be by phone at 361-816-7501. If you want additional pictures, please let me know.

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The 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 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?
