This car is in wonderful condition for it's age and has only 19,000 miles. It has been wonderfully cared for and and has had no paint work. The interior is outstanding and on a scale of 1 thru 10 it is a solid 9.0. The chrome is also in outstanding condition. The car was undercoated when new and there is very little to no evidence of rust on the underside or on any of the body panels of the car. Please see the underside pictures of the car that I have provided.

The car was purchased new in Florida and appears to have remained there as the couple also had a home in Michigan. The second owner appears to have purchased the car in an Estate sale sometime in 2011. I acquired the car last year.

The car has new tires, new mufflers, new water pump and the A/C was upgraded by the previous owner. In addition the car has had a Viper alarm system installed with power door locks and the rear view mirror was upgraded to show temperature and compass headings.

The paint is in good condition on both sides of the car; however, the paint on the hood and trunk are showing their age and will need attention. There is a small dent in the front area of the hood that may not be visible in the hood picture. See the picture where I have pointed to the dent.

Once again, the entire interior of the car is almost flawless. Please take the time to look at each and every picture and keep in mind that this car is now 41 years of age.

There are very few of the second generation Toronados that have survived that are in this condition both inside and out and with low miles. If you are shopping for one these cars make sure that you have good pictures of the underside of the car. The underside of this car is amazing for it's age.

The car is being driven some each week and the actual mileage may be slightly more than what is being shown in the picture.

If you have any questions on this car, you can contact be by phone at 361-816-7501. If you want additional pictures, please let me know.

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.

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.

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.
