1966 Oldsmobile Toronado

425 V8 automatic

Front wheel drive

117,569 miles

This 1966 Toronado is a standard model with more options than most Deluxes. The only options it lacks are power windows and power antenna. I have had this car in my garage for over 10 years and never got around to restoring it. I need to make space in my garage so it has to go. The car seems to be original. Everything is intact. The quarters look like they were patched and painted a while ago and will need attention again (see photos). The trunk lid has very light surface rust but is solid. There doesn’t appear to be any rust where the rear vents drain.

The chrome is good all around. There is rust on the body in places (see photos) and the front passenger side fender is dented. The headliner is intact. The hideaway/ pop up headlights work. I tried to photograph any of the problem spots on the car, and please ask questions and request more photos if I missed something.

THIS CAR STARTS AND DRIVES. The tires are shot, so it’s not drivable to your location, but it can be driven onto a flatbed or hauler easily. The gear selector needs adjusting; it’s misaligned when you put it into gear, but the car shifts nicely and drives.

Options:

Headrests
6-way power seat
Vacuum operated door locks
Tilt/telescope steering wheel
Rear defogger
Comfortron – automatic climate control (air conditioning) – heat works, but the air cond. Is missing a belt, so I cannot test it – but the clutch is free
Clock (not working)
Cornering lamps
Cruise control
AM/FM radio with Wonderbar – the radio works intermittently
Oldsmobile visor vanity mirror
Trunk release button in glove box - works

I am representing it as accurately as I can based on my knowledge and have tried to give as much information as possible. Please do not hesitate to ask questions about anything I may have missed in the description. I am unable to test the function of some of the options.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

The 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?

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.
