1983 Hurst Oldsmobile T-tops Lightning Rod Shifter Charcoal Int. Excel Cond on 2040-cars
Overland Park, Kansas, United States

1983 Hurst Oldsmobile This is 1 of 3001 built in the year 1983. The car is all original except for the tires. I purchased the car in 2005 and at that time it had a newer paint on the done. Everything works fine on the car. I do not know if the air conditioner blows cold because I have not had it charge or changed over to the new requirements. The fan motor works fine though. The car starts right up on the first try. I had the car garaged every day since 2005 and have only driven the car approx. 1500 miles. The car drives great and does not have any weird noises or unknown sounds. The transmission works great and has a hard shift from 1st to 2nd just like the day it was new. The lightning rod shifters work well and have been rebuilt. I took many pictures so you can see the condition of the car. The car is 31 years old and does show some wear, but I must say that it is in much better shape than most cars I see in shows of that age. This car would be considered a daily driver. I always wanted this car when I was a kid so I finally bought one. Now that has worn off and I just need the space back in the garage because I have 3 kids that all drive. The only thing I didn't do was replace the carpet. Carpet isn't bad, I just wanted to get brand new, but I never got around to it. I believe Hurst modified the car from the factory and the car is an original Hurst with matching numbers. This car is more sought after because it has the grey/charcoal interior and has T-tops too. I have never changed the odometer and the mileage looks to be correct. I will be happy to discuss the car if you want to send me your phone number and I can call you. Please only call if you are really interested in the car and not just wanting to talk about your car or others like it. The car is located in Overland Park KS, which is the Kansas City area. I would have no problems trusting this car to drive across country if you choose to do so. The car has original everything from the factory except what was changed by Hurst. The car has an aluminum intake, modified cylinder heads, dual exhaust, 4 speed auto, Positrack, Hurst lightning rod shifters, air shocks, and upgraded suspension that was part of the Hurst package. The brake pads are new and the oil is fresh. The engine has the dual intake air cleaner with chrome lid. This car came loaded from the factory and has all of the options available in 1983. 307 cid V-8 engine. Power windows, power seats, dual mirrors, air conditioner, AM/FM radio, clock, Tachometer, T-tops, front and rear sway bars, posi traction 373 drivetrain, factory hood scoop and rear spoiler, factory chrome wheels cruise control and much more |

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.
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.
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.
