1977 Toronado very rare XS model with wraparound rear window. According to the Internet there were a little over 2700 made in this XS model year. Also I read that there are only about 600 of them still registered. This car is all black. Front wheel drive, V8 automatic, with lots of options such as: Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Windows, Power Locks, Power Seat, Power Sun Roof, Power Trunk Opener, Tilt and Telescopic Steering Wheel, Cruise Control, Remote Wiper, 8 Track Tape Player, and Cloth Interior. This car is well above average condition. But it is not a show car. Needs two pieces by the back tail lights. See pictures. The Air Conditioning appears to be all there. Needs charged. The Power Sun Roof doesn't open. There is one crack on the dash, See pictures. There are a few little cracks on the Driver Armrest. Overall the car shows 52,200 Miles. The speedometer works. Looking at the condition of the car I am guessing that it is correct. Cruise works, Power Antennae does not. Has Rear De-Fogger. If you have any questions call me on my cell phone. If I don't answer, please leave me a message. I work long hours. I am in Des Moines, IA. Will be more than glad to show you the car before the end of the auction. The body is very clean and very straight. I found one small hole on the Driver's side front floor pan under the carpet. Sold as is. No warranty. Can deliver for extra agreed price, otherwise the buyer is responsible for transfer. Please call 515-250-9293.

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.
Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The 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.
