Up for auction is a nice original 1974 Olds Delta 88 Convertible. It retains its original engine, trans, etc. and is original paint and interior. It is powered by a 350 Rocket engine and an automatic transmission. It is mechanically sound, starts and runs good, its drives up the road straight. It has a newer radiator, alternator, lower radiator hose, convertible top switch, and I am putting a new relay for the convertible top (its works fine but I had to mess with a loose connection to make it work properly). The exhaust is stock and sounds like there is a small hole in the muffler. The tires are like new. The car has good power brakes and power steering. The A/C does not have a belt on it but is not locked up. Most likely just needs a recharge. The interior of the car is nice for an original set. The dash is not cracked, all of the wood grain is in good shape. Tilt steering column works good. Seats and doors panels cleaned up decent. The carpet has a couple of small tears in it. They are all covered by the new floor mats. The drivers seat has a few small stitching repairs as pictured. The rest of the seats are free of any tears. The fan only works on the low setting for heat or air. The rest of the electrical in the car is in good working order ( headlights, tail lights, turns, flashers, high beam/low beam, horn blows, etc.) It has an AM/FM 8 Track player. It will need a new convertible top. The old one is worn and there is no back glass. The windshield has a small crack in the lower part of the drivers side. It does not affect any vision out of the windshield. Best of all the car is rust free. This is a great summer cruiser, not a show car by any means, but one that you can take out and enjoy as is without worrying that someone is going to ruin a perfect show car with there door at the ice cream drive in. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early for any reason. The car is sold as is with no warranty implied. Please contact me with any questions. 765-376-3486 Thanks and Happy bidding!!

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.

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.
