UP FOR BID IS A BEAUTIFUL 1978 OLDSMOBILE TORONADO BROUGHAM COUPE. THIS IS THE LAST YEAR FOR THE FULL SIZE FRONT WHEEL DRIVE OLDS TORONADO. IN 1979 THE MODEL WAS DOWNSIZED. THE CAR HAS A SHARP RED EXTERIOR PAINT JOB AND A WHITE VINYL ROOF. IT HAS A 403 CUBIC INCH V-8 ACTUALLY MADE BY THE OLDSMOBILE DIVISION OF GENERAL MOTOR I BELIEVE. THE CAR HAS A BEAUTIFUL RED CLOTH INTERIOR THAT IS TUFTED AND IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION. THE CAR HAS AN AM/FM STEREO GM RADIO WITH A BUILT IN 8 TRACK PLAYER. THAT WAS THE TOP OF THE LINE AUDIO SYSTEM FOR 1978. THE CAR HAS A POWER ANTENNAE THAT WORKS EVERY TIME. ALL SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE WORK FINE. IT HAS POWER WINDOWS, POWER DRIVER'S SEAT, POWER LOCKS, POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, CRUISE CONTROL, A TILT STEERING WHEEL AND IT ALL WORKS FINE. THE ONLY FLAW IN THE INTERIOR IS A SMALL CRACK IN THE DRIVERS SIDE ARMREST WHEN SOMEONE ARM WOULD SIT. THE VEHICLE NEEDS NOTHING AND ALL THE FLUIDS HAVE BEEN CHANGED SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR.

THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH SOME SLIGHT RUST. REMEMBER THIS IS A 1978 VEHICLE (35 YEARS OLD) AND HAS A LIGHT PATINA OF RUST ON SOME SURFACES ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND NOTHING UNDERNEATH NEEDS SERVICE ATTENTION.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A EBAY LISTING ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO. IT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY CHECKED OUT AND EVERYTHING HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND RENEWED. THE VEHICLE STARTS, DRIVES, STOPS AND PERFORMS PERFECTLY. IT IS A POWERFUL CAR AND WILL CRUISE ALL DAY AT 75MPH.

IT IS CLEAR TO SEE THE VEHICLE WAS WELL KEPT AND IS IN GREAT CONDITION.

THE CAR IS SOLD WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY. IT IS SOLD AS-IS. THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND WILL BE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY OLDSMOBILE COLLECTION.

TRANSPORTATION IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NEW OWNER. I WILL WORK WITH THE TRANSPORT COMPANY TO ARRANGE THE PICKUP.

CAREFULLY EXAMINE ALL THE PHOTOS POSTED WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS CAR IS A PLEASURE TO DRIVE AND READY TO GO.

ANY QUESTIONS CALL VINCE AT 585-259-3958.

THANKS AND CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS.

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.

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?

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.
