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.

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.
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.
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.
