Olds Toronado

Trofeo

Loaded with Options

FWD

Very Good Condition

Low Mileage

2nd Owner

Always Garage Kept

This is my personal car that I bought approximately in 1992 as a 1-owner new car trade in. It is a very nice car that mostly sits in the garage and only comes out on nice days for little cruises to the Frosty Boy Drive In or whatever when time allows. It is not perfect but it is VERY nice or I wouldn't waste our time saying so.

I have kept this car under cover and inside my garage since day one while I drove a company car, so the mileage is very very low for this year vehicle. It has been taken care of and whatever needed fixed was or replaced. All the little things that go wrong have been replaced.

The tires are like new, it has a new battery. In 1996 at around 80,000 miles I had the transmission professional rebuilt because I got caught out in a surprised snow storm and I messed it up getting out of a snow/ice rut in the city street. A couple years ago I had it professionally painted the original Oldsmobile color by a custom painter, The Amazing Ater, who made it better then new!! The interior is great and all the digital dash works fine. Everything seems to be working fine, but to be honest I have only drove it this year for these photos. It has dark tinted windows.

Also, I have done nothing to spruce it up or wipe shiney stuff on any of it. It came out of the garage for pics and right back inside. It just doesn't get used and I can use the space so it its for sale now.

What I do know is wrong if you can call it that, is the leather steering wheel could use some conditioner rubbed on it, the drivers power window works but is a tad bit slow and there might be a very small hardly noticeable ding somewhere around the bottom from some irresponsible parker..... and if I didn't bring it up, few would notice. I'm just trying to remember everything to be as honest as possible.

I will consider offers but PLEASE do not waste our time attempting to low ball me, its not costing me anything and I love the car anyway. IF YOU want a very nice, loaded, great running great looking car this is it.

Please check my feedback and know that this auction is written as complete and honest as possible. The vehicle is in really great shape, never abused, all you need is gas.

My car is also being offered locally so if does sell before the auction ends with no bids, I will delete this auction.

It can be picked up after paid in cash or a verifiable bank check has cleared. I will work with anyone who makes their own transportation arrangements, and I might even be able to drive south, maybe as far as Elizabeth Town, KY to help out with meeting for delivery? If so cash will be necessary.

Otherwise it can be picked up here in Indianapolis.

No Reserve and it is a GREAT car for this money regardless of any book prices.

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.

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.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General 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.
