Here ya go Toronado Fans! This is a pretty rare 1967 STANDARD Toronado with only 19K miles. Second owner car and stored since 1970. Less than 1500 miles have been put on this car since 1970, most of which have been in the last few years for car shows and pleasure rides.

This is an early production car, 2,047th off the line in '67 and of that, a mere fraction were Standard Models like this one, through out the entire model year. 1967- STD 394877M6xxxxx 1,770 made.  1967-DLX 396877M6xxxxx  20,020 made.  21,790 total produced in 1967 (the LOWEST production year of all Toronados).

What makes this a Standard is basically the interior trim level.  Of Note: there are NO rear door handles, NO center arm rest, unique interior door trim, and oddly matched carpet and interior trim color. It has only a handful of options: 6-Way power FULL Bench seat (not Strato), Cornering Lights, Rear Defogger (fan type), black vinyl top, and tinted windows. It is equipped with drum brakes ans am AM radio. Other than that, no power accessories and NO A/C. This is a bizarrely optioned car!!

This car was purchased from Krause Oldsmobile (Milwaukee) circa 1970. It was a local lease/corporate trade in when my Dad eyeballed it on the lot and snapped it up.

I will not bother or bore you the history of the Toronado and all the technical jargon here, as I assume that you found this auction because you already know about it's background and are looking for one. 

This is an amazingly straight, tight, and 98% ORIGINAL car! The only thing done to it was a new pitman arm (last month) and has been retro'd with 1966 Chrome Rims and dog dishes. The OEM Turbine wheel covers are in the trunk (average condition). The water/fuel/oil pump are original as well as the alternator and carb and never touched. Not even the valve covers have never been off the engine. Krause Olds did a crappy engine fluff/detail for the lot, but we left it AS IS, warts and all for all these years.

I've tried to post pictures of all the aspects of the car I could. Yes, there is storage rash and dirt from it living in an unheated garage for all these years, but no rust other than typical surface underneath and a wee bit under the rear quarters. Chrome is VERY nice, but the tail panel has some pitting. I have a NOS NIB tail panel available separately. You be the judge from the pictures.

The car can be seen/driven during the auction period and is located 45 miles north of Milwaukee, WI. Call or email me: Sparkman@wi.rr.com 414-447-7500 for more info if needed. I will add more information as requested by prospective inquires.

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.

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.

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.
