Seattle, Washington, United States

VERY NICE CLASSIC. ALL THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT IS INTACT. THE ORIGINAL COLOR WAS WHITE BUT OTHER THAN THE PAINT AND A MINOR INTERIOR RESTORATION ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO IT IS ALL ORIGINAL WITH EVERYTHING INTACT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE.TO BE NIT PICKY AND SPECIFIC TO DETAILS, THERE IS A QUARTER SIZE CHIP IN PAINT ON PASSENGER DOOR AND A SMALL HOLE THROUGH THE METAL ON THE BOTTOM, DRIVERS SIDE ROCKER PANEL (IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE BUT I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS.) THIS VEHICLE ISN'T PERFECT BUT IS VERY NICE, ESPECIALLY FOR BEING ORIGINAL. WITH A THOUROUGH DETAIL AND SOME MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL TUNING IT WOULD BE THERE. EVERYTHING WORKS LAST I CHECKED FROM THE POWER WINDOWS AND LOCKS TO CONVERTIBLE TOP(RUNS A LITTLE SLOW), CRUISE CONTROL, RADIO, ETC. HAVING ALL THOSE OPTIONS WAS RARE IN 1966. IT ALSO HAS AIR CONDITIONING THAT IS WORKING OTHER THAN A BELT NEEDING PUT ON. IT HAS BEEN GARAGED KEPT AND RARELY DRIVEN(THUS THE REASON I NEED TO SELL IT), BUT IS VERY ROAD WORTHY. I AM VERY MOTIVATED TO MOVE IT QUICKLY AND BELIEVE THAT IT IS REASONABLY PRICED BASED ON THE MARKET. THE ODOMETER READS 69,000 AND SOME CHANGE AND IS ACTUAL I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN. I BELIEVE IT HAS ONLY HAD ONE OTHER OWNER, A FRIEND OF MINE WHO HAD THE CAR IN HAWAII AND I PURCHASED FROM IN THE 70'S. TO A COLLECTOR OR ENTHUSIAST THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT CAR. YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO DO MUCH OF ANYTHING. YOU COULD EASILY MAKE IT A PRISTINE CAR WITH VERY LITTLE NEEDED OTHER THAN THE TIME AND LITTLE KNOW HOW. UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE THE KNOW HOW OR TIME TO DO IT OR ENJOY THE CAR FOR THAT MATTER. LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. PLEASE NO SCHEMERS. IT WON'T WORK SO SAVE US BOTH THE TIME AND DON'T TRY.

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.
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.
