I am selling my custom 1960 Oldsmobile 88 Special. It is an UNBELIEVABLE head turner. Anytime I've ever been in this car, I always get thumbs up, people honking and waving, people stopping to take pictures! If you don't want a car that gets noticed, this is not the car for you. People love these cars because they are nostalgic and remind them of the good old days!! This is a true throwback with the incredible character that the body has with the flared fenders and rear wing-like quarters. 

The interior on the car is actually in very good condition! There is a ton of chrome on the inside of this car!! It has a huge and wide steering wheel and lots of cool accessory buttons. It kind of feels like you're floating when you drive this boat. The interior is missing a headliner, which is really not a big deal and you don't really even notice it. 

The exterior has a custom, hot-rod type paint job with flames. It's an eye catcher, but realistically, if I had endless funds I would have the car repainted. There is a little bit of surface rust, nothing major. There is also some rust on the underside of the front hood and the windshield is cracked. Again, not a big deal. But, these cars fetch BIG money when completely restored, so I'm not asking big money for this car. It wouldn't take much to get it to be a BIG money car, just time and money I don't have to put into this car right now. It also has some great Cragar wheels on it. Nothing too flashy, but good old classic wheels

The motor runs great and sounds awesome! It's got an Oldsmobile 370 (I think) in it and it sounds mean!! It cranks up first time and it has side pipes that sound killer! For someone who wants a one of a kind type car that gets more attention than a corvette, camaro, chevelle, nova or an older cadillac or mustang, this is it! It's not a true hot rod or rat rod, but could easily be made into one!

For that reason, I am asking for offers on the car. I know about what it's worth, so I won't consider any low ball offers. I don't need to sell it, but could use the extra funds right now. I can make it available anytime day or night to be seen and/or driven.

I also have some of the original documentation that came with the car. Feel free to give me a call or shoot me a text anytime at (704) 575 9510


Was just told by someone who knows more about cars than I do that it has a Chevy 350 motor in the car.

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.

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.
