Up for auction is my 1970 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Convertible. Certainly not a show car, but turns heads and runs and drives like a champ. I have taken this car on trips as far as 800 miles (North Carolina to Florida) with absolutely no issues. I have owned this car for three years now, but family circumstances force me to sell. I have done a lot of work on this car to make it reliable and keep it road worthy. In the last two years:-New Radiator-New Water Pump-Replaced all belts and hoses-Changed all fluids-New Convertible top ($1800)-Reupholstered front and back seats ($800)-New tires-New plugs and custom cut plug wires-Converted to HEI distributor from old points system-POR-15 coating on trunk and all floor pans-New sound proofing and carpeting-New brakes pads and shoes-New shock absorbers-New custom dual exhaust system (sounds amazing but not too loud)I'm sure I'm forgetting something; ask me and I'll post the answers. There is a fair amount of bondo in the lower quarters, as you can see in the close up photos. It hasn't gotten any worse in the years I have owned the car, but it will need to be addressed eventually. The metal is all there and basically sound, but if I was keeping it I'd cut out the patched areas and weld in fresh metal. Decent paint, but I'd redo it with the bodywork. Also, the door panels and interior trim will need to be reupholstered eventually. All the original hardware is there, but there are definite signs of wear.I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere. It's been my daily driver in good weather, and I hate to see it go. Please feel free to ask any questions. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is for sale locally. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. you'll be hard pressed to find an American V8 convertible in this condition at this price that you can drive every day. Thanks for looking!

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The 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.
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.
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.
