OK, Here it is.  Up for sale is my father's 1997 Aurora.  My dad stopped driving a couple of years ago (he's 92) and he gave the car to us.  He bought it in 2001 in Venice, Fl. with about 36,000 miles on it. The car was registered in NY but it has never seen a winter since my parents wintered in Sarasota for the last 30 years.  He gave it to us less than a year ago.  We live in Nokomis, Fl.  When I got it I went through and did everything I thought it may need.  My dad was good with maintenance and oil changes.  He had the car 11 years and only put about 35,000 miles on it. 

A list of things I have done:

1-Change oil and filter Mobil-1

2-Flush transmission

3-Flush coolant

4-Replace serpentine belt

5-New Kumho tires

6-My dad had the a/c compressor replaced less than a year ago in NY and it went bad again.  Although it was still under warranty they could not honor it because the car is now in Florida.  I had a new (not reconditioned) compressor put in and complete a/c service to the tune of $1000.00.  Blows ice cold.  The NY repair facility did send me a brand new compressor at no charge that I will include with the sale. 

7-Replace air filter

I think that's it but there may be more.  The car has a small nickel size ding on the front of the hood, hardly noticeable.  There is another small dent behind the side molding under the passenger door handle.  The rear bumper has a few scratches that I touched up.  They are all VERY minor, you probably can't even see them in the pictures.  The fuel gauge works fine till about a half tank then doesn't register right.  I just get to half a tank then fill up or go by mileage. 

The car has always been garage kept and it shows.  I believe it has every option available for the year including Bose stereo, sunroof, chrome wheels.  Goes down the road smooth and quiet.  We already have 3 cars and really don't have room for another.  Email with questions.  Thanks, Tony

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.

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.

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.
