This model Oldsmobile is very rare and a real show stopper. It was purchased new at Comrie Olds in Pendleton, OR. The new price was $13,214. It is a luxury car. I have enjoyed it more than I can say. I am disabled now and cannot afford to bring her back to her usual glory, so, I am looking for a buyer that will appreciate this work of art as much as I have. When I was still driving her, people would stop and say "wow, what is this".
A benefit to owning and restoring this car is that the same year Cadillac's parts are interchangeable. There are a lot more of caddys around than this year Toronado. Only 2,714 of this model were made and by the grapevine, I heard that only about 600 are still around???
The body is 99% good. There is a small scrape that can be buffed out and a very small dent in one door. One Halloween, the hood was egged and it left a ghost of gray in the paint. I believe that also could be buffed out. The gaskets were all replaced about 10 years ago, but there are still NO leaks anywhere. This has been a non-smoking vehicle. I know she needs a lot of general cleaning, but since I am disabled, I am unable to get it done. Please over look a little dirt. There is a small amount of rust on the rear fender (can see in the pictures) really very little since I live in a very dry climate. She has only visited the Oregon coast a couple of times with me, so there is no saltwater rust on her.
The buyer will be responsible for picking her up at my home or arranging shipping and paying for same from here. I live in a small rural town in Eastern Oregon. Details when she is purchased.
For a serious buyer, I have a Rod magazine article, touting the Toronado mystic that I can mail copies of.

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.
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.
This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]
Thu, 09 Oct 2014The 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?
