1980 Oldsmobile Toronado Xsc Coupe 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Augusta, Maine, United States
|
NO RESERVE- Quick 3 day auction. I've bought another car so this must go. I've driven this car about 2,000 miles, it's from St Louis Missouri. The interior is in great shape except the drivers should be reupholstered.
It has a Maine Inspection Sticker and is currently registered and driven occasionally, the day of this listing, I plan a 200 mile trip in the car. It has a very small gas leak that we've not been able to detect, but doesn't appear to be near the engine. Tires are good. I had brake work done and a new battery installed. This car is a 10 footer, it looks good 10 to 20 feet away. There is rust in the rear quarters that's been repaired but not done professionally. This was on the cover of Toronado Club "Front Driver" magazine in January. The door locks and seats work fine but the power front seat doesn't on the drivers side. I must move this quickly, I love the car but it's time to move on. It hauls ass....sort of speak...but, it's rattlely and makes noises in the doors and windows. But overally, a neat car. there's a few spots of surface rust, but no floor rust or rocker panel rust. You can store the car here 4 months but then it's 75 dollars a month There is no title with this car but it will come with a Maine Title letter from the DMW which is accepted by All 50 States to get a new title. Maine doesn't issue titles on cars this old. Good luck, it's again no reserve. On Apr-07-14 at 13:34:02 PDT, seller added the following information: I just took this car for a 200 mile ride and really forgot how much I love this car. First, I mentioned rattles and noises. Those noises are really more related to hitting pot holes and having noises a traditionally old car would make. Particularly when slamming the door. But as far as normal highway driving on a good paved road, the car is very very quiet. I had forgotten that. I will upload if possible some youtube.com video I took today while driving the car. It corners and handles fantastically, and the 5.7 litre V8 with front drive makes it very easy to burn out if you wanted too. (or even accidentally). On Apr-07-14 at 16:32:41 PDT, seller added the following information: All Exterior Lighting works including the front fender Side Cornering Lamps. This is a youtube upload today of the car being driven on Interstate 95. I has the 85 miles per hour limited speedometer which is basically useless since you really don't know how fast your going. I got it up to 75 according to the speedo. On Apr-08-14 at 02:33:15 PDT, seller added the following information: Here is another Youtube video, but this is the car driving at a slower speed, 45 miles per hour. |

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?
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.
eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant
Wed, 18 Jun 2014If 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.
