Totally rust free. Excellent 425 motor, tuned up , overhauled transmission with good working kick down. With good working kick down switch (try to find one of those, unobtainium). New boots on front axles. New anti-sway bar ends. Total brake job. New wheel cylinders. New master cylinder/booster. New tires. New shock absorbers front and back. Total tune up, rotor/cap/wires/plugs. Car runs excellently.
Excellent interior, except for stitching in seating area of drivers side. Like new carpeting. Missing correct knob on shift lever.Original AM radio works well, here in San Diego I seem to get mostly Mexican stations.
Car handles amazingly well for a heavy American. The robust anti-sway bar keeps it flat in the corners. And the exhaust note of the powerful engine make it inviting to push it through the corners.
The car has a great new paint job in the original gold. Panels are laser straight. No accidents ever. No repair ever. This is a remarkable survivor. Headlights work as they should. All vacuum lines that need to be replaced (and there are a lot of them) have been replaced. Heater hoses & belts have been replaced. The trunk lining is a lot better than original. Chrome on the car is driver grade not show. Very nice but some slight pitting. Chrome around wheels wells is excellent. No dings. Car needs nothing but the seat area repaired.
Engine compartment is impressive when you realize the car is 47 years old. It is very nice and presentable - not show.
Original CA black plates front and back. It even has the 1966 original license sticker (now on the front plate). At a swap meet last weekend the guy wanted $500 just for 2 black plates, this car has the matching front and back plate and even has the 1966 original sticker.
This car was stored in the dry climate of Anza, CA for about 20 years before I got it last year. A tremendous amount of work and money was spent on it. It is now ready for a non-mechanical owner who can enjoy all the work that was done to it.
A/C is not working/converted yet.
Lights/turn signals/brake lights/interior lights all work as they should. The right bumper end has an imperfection and I have a really nice one to go with the car.
The door panels are in great shape. Windshield wipers work well. Radio is AM - original and works. The dash is good - not perfect. Electric windows are all functioning. Power seat motor and relays work properly (very interesting setup - one motor and 3 relays that diverts power from one function (i.e. for and aft) to another (like up and down) rather than 3 motors and cables).
This car only has 28K miles and it shows. Not a 100 percent car but unbelievably nice.

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.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General 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.
