EXCELLENT INTERIOR

THE STORY BEHIND THE CAR IS THAT IT WAS BOUGHT AS A FATHER/SON PRODJECT. THEY SANDED THE ORIGONAL PAINT, THE SON WENT INTO THE ARMED SERVICES, AND THE CAR WAS STORED FOR 25 YEARS UNTILL IT WAS SOLD. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD SOME WORK DONE TO THE CAR TO BRING IT TO ITS PRESENT CONDITION.

THE INTERIOR IN THIS CAR IS BLACK. IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDIDTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THE INTERIOR IS ORIGANL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CARPET. THE FRONT SEAT HAS A FOLD DOWN ARM REST.

THIS BODY IS VERY STRAIGHT AND SOLID. HAS BEEN PAINTED AT SOME POINT AND THE PAINT LOOKS GOOD BUT IS NOT SHOW QUALITY HAVING MINOR IMPERFECTIONS. THE DOORS SHUT AND LINE UP GREAT AS DOES THE HOOD AND TRUNK LID. THE TRIM IS IN GOOD SHAPE, THE BUMPERS ARE STRAIGHT BUT THERE ARE SOME SMALL PLACES ON THE THAT HE TOP LAYER OF THE ORIGINAL CHROME HAS FLAKED OFF BUT THEY ARE VERY PRESENTABLE. THE FLOOR PANS AND TRUNK ARE SOLID.

THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THIS CAR NEEDS. FIRST THE HEADLIGHTS WORK BUT DO NOT OPEN AND SHUT. ALL THE COMPONENTS ARE PRESENT AND INTACT, BUT THE ACTUATORS NEED TO BE REPLACED OR REBUILT BECAUSE OF WHERE IT WAS STORED AND THEY WERE NOT USED. THE ORIGINAL CARBURETOR WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW EDELBROCK . THIS CARB FUNCTIONS GREAT, BUT THE ORIGONAL AIR CLEANER WILL NOT FIT ON IT DUE TO CLEARANCE ISSUES. ALSO DUE TO THE CARB SWAP THE ELECTRIC KICK DOWN SWITCH IS DISCONECTED. IT ALSO HAS A MINOR LEAK IN THE DONUT GASKET ON THE L/S MANIFOLD BUT IT IS NOT TERRIBLE AND IS BARLEY NOTICEABLE. THE TWO FRONT "TORONADO " FENDER EMBLEMS, AND ONE "L" OF THE HEADER PANEL SCRIPT ARE MISSING. THE ORIGINAL BREATHER IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND IS IN TH TRUNK ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL SPARE. THE RUBBER IS IN DECENT SHAPE BUT A FEW PIECES COULD STAND TO BE REPLACED. THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK BUT I HAVE A NEW FUEL SENDING UNIT THAT GOES WITH IT. THE A/C SEEMS TO WORK BUT NEEDS CHARGED.

The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuine, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith.

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.

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.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?
