1980 Oldsmobile Toronado XSC coupe. This is a FWD v8 car. It has an automatic transmission, a 307ci engine, and 87,789 miles. It was restored years ago and repainted. The front end was customized to fit a nice, big, Cadillac grille that looks great!

The engine runs good and the car drives good. The transmission shifts well. No known major leaks or mechanical issues.

Since the restore, the car has now developed some rust in 4 main areas. On the exterior bottom portion of the doors the rust has started under the paint and the paint is breaking off. I do not believe the panels need replaced if you have a decent amount of skill with body work. But they is an opinion. The front pillars have bad rust at the bottom section you can see in the pics. I would repair with screen and bondo for a quick fix but metal would be best. Both of these issues are on both sides of the car. As you can also see the bumper inserts are missing. The floors and trunk is very solid. The whole car is very solid excluding the rust issues I just mentioned. The vinyl top has come unglued and needs replaced or removed. There is solid metal under it so simply remove the glue and repaint. I was going to do that and paint the whole roof a different color… maybe white or off white? Black?

The interior is now cracked all up from sun… the car sat some time. Seat covers would be a life saver. It’s a really cool old car… but is no show car by any means.

All the glass is good, the power windows work. The power antenna works as does the stereo. The hood requires 2 people to open as one person has to hold the release lever and the other wiggles the hood. The tires have a lot of tread but are older. The right front brake caliper sticks sometimes and needs replaced or rebuilt. No check engine lights or trouble lights are on. The exhaust may have a leak somewhere as it has a little hum to the sound but it is not all loud like it has a large hole. This is a 2 owner car. It was cared for well for a long time and then was left to sit.

If there are any questions. Call or text me at 304-283-5817

Local pick up only. Cash purchase with a deposit required via paypal if you win. No reserve. Clean and clear WV title. Immediate $100 deposit at end of auction. The remainder must be paid in cash within 3 days and you can let the car stay here as long as 10 days if you need to make arrangements.

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.

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.
