Oldsmobile Tornado (1977) on 2040-cars
Bluff City, Tennessee, United States
|
1977 Oldsmobile Tornado, A True Classic, This car is in very good restorable condition, The interior is in I'd say a 9 out of a 10 condition, It needs to be washed and painted because it has been sitting outside under a tree for the last 3 years and has a lot of pollen on the paint on the hood and trunk, and also the vinyl top will need to be replaced as well, it has a few cracks in the vinyl.
Before that, the car was kept inside a garage, that's why the motor looks so good and clean. That's how the car was when I bought it from an elderly lady whose husband had just passed. So, the title is an original title dated 1983 and at that time only had 62,000 miles on it. The car will need some work but nothing major, The Motor and transmission runs and drives good. The motor is a 403 V-8 and is front wheel drive, it now has 77,086 actual miles on it. Very low miles for this car, The Interior is in good shape, no big stains on the carpet or on the seats, The Head Liner is good, no tears or rips, The Drivers side door panel at the arm rest has a couple of cracks in it, about 2 inches. It has a cobra 17 CB in it along with a Am/Fm 8 track tape player. I bought the car with intentions of restoring it and was going to paint it solid black with a red pin stripe down the sides, and was gonna put some nice chrome wheels on it, but I recently moved to a smaller place and have just lost interest in doing it. So, here's your chance to get a really nice restorable car for a great price, so you can be confident that you are bidding on a true classic car with low miles and has a good motor and transmission that doesn't need alot of work or a lot of money to drive it. I put a low reserve on this car that I think is a fair price for a nice classic running car which is less than $2,000.00 (hint,hint) L.O.L Feel Free to call if you have anymore questions or concerns about the car, or if you'd like to schedule to come take a look at it. (423)-276-0075 Plz, if no answer leave your name and number and I will call you back as soon as I can. Thanks We will require $500.00 deposit within 24hrs of auction end, and remaining balance within 7 days of auction end, must be money order, cashiers check or certified check, or call to arrange payment of vehicle, we do not accept pay pal... sorry |

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?
