I HAVE HERE A SUPER RARE 1983 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS "SPECIAL EDITION" SUPREME BROUGHAM. IT IS SHOWROOM CONDITION. A MUST SEE CAR AND A REAL SURVIVOR. IT IS ALL ORIGINAL WITH ONLY 23,000 MILES. IT HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN IN THE WINTER MONTHS OR ON BAD DAYS, AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED GARAGE UP ON JACK STANDS EVERY WINTER. MY SON IS THE SECOND OWNER FOR ALMOST 11 YEARS. THE ORIGINAL OWNER SOLD IT TO HIM BECAUSE HE KNEW HE WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT AND HIS OWN SON WAS ABOUT TO TURN 16 AND HE DID NOT WANT HIM DRIVING IT. THE ORIGINAL OWNER RECEIVED THIS CAR AS A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION GIFT FROM HIS PARENTS. HE HAS THREE BROTHERS AND EACH ONE GOT A CUTLASS FOR GRADUATION. THE "SPECIAL EDITION" IS A DEALER ORDERED ONE TIME CAR. IT IS ONE YOU CAN FIND VERY LITTLE INFORMATION ON. YOU CAN GOOGLE IT TO SEE THE DIFFERENT PACKAGE THAT WAS ON THE SPECIAL EDITION, BUT THERE IS NO OTHER INFORMATION LIKE HOW MANY WERE MADE,ETC. YOU COULD NOT EVEN SEE A PICTURE OF ONE UNTIL THEY PICKED UP A PICTURE OF OURS WITH THIS ONE.  THIS ONE IS PAINTED A 1984 TORANADO AUTUMN RED FIRE-MIST METALLIC AND WAS HAND SANDED EITHER AT THE FACTORY OR THE DEALER, PIN STRIPPING WAS HAND PAINTED ON  AND THEN CLEAR COATED, WHICH WAS ALSO RARE FOR THAT TIME. CLEAR COAT WAS STILL BEING EXPERIMENTED WITH AT THE FACTORY THEN. THIS WAS PART OF THE SPECIAL EDITION PACKAGE ALSO. THE PAINT STILL LOOKS AS NEW! THE INTERIOR SHOWS NO WEAR EITHER. THIS CAR IS ONE "REAL SURVIVOR"!  WE HAVE ALL THE HISTORY ON THE CAR,  WHAT DEALER IT CAME FROM & WHO OWNED IT ORIGINALLY. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL CATALYTIC CONVERTER. IT WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH A REPLACEMENT PIPE WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW. THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS A REVERBERATOR-EQUALIZER? INSTALLED AND IT STILL WORKS GREAT. IT AMPLIFIES THE RADIO AND MAKES IT SOUND A LOT BETTER. EVERYTHING ON THIS CAR WORKS RIGHT DOWN TO THE CLOCK. I HAVE DRIVEN IT 4-5 TIMES INTO TOWN LAST SUMMER AND WAS ALWAYS AFRAID IT MIGHT GET A CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD, BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ONE. EVEN THE FRONT OF THE CAR IS VERY HARD TO FIND A CHIP. IT HAS NEVER EVER BEEN TOUCHED UP EITHER! THERE IS ONE LITTLE CHIP ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BEHIND THE DOOR AND ONE DING IN THE TRIM OVER THE BACK TIRE, ALSO ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. LIKE I SAID BEFORE THIS IS REALLY A MUST SEE CAR. IT RUNS AND HANDLES LIKE A NEW CAR. NOW, THIS CAR STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON IT AND MOST PEOPLE WOULD SAY THEY WOULD BE ROTTEN BUT THESE HAVE LOTS OF TREAD ON THEM AND NO CRACKING OR DRY ROT WHATSOEVER. I HAVE DRIVEN IT 60-65 MPH AND IT HANDLES GREAT, BUT IF YOU WERE PLANING ON DRIVING IT ON AN INTERSTATE AND RUNNING 70 MPH ALL THE TIME I WOULD REPLACE THE TIRES. LOOK CLOSELY AT THE PICTURE OF THE WINDOW STICKER AND IT WILL SHOW EVERYTHING THAT THE SPECIAL EDITION PACKAGE OFFERED ON THIS CAR.  THIS CAR WAS UNDERCOATED WHEN NEW AND YOU WILL SEE THAT SOME OF THE UNDERCOATING HAS STARTED TO PEEL OFF AFTER 31 YEARS. IT HAS NEVER BEEN PAINTED BLACK UNDERNEATH !! THE CAR IS IN MY NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE BECAUSE IT IS HEATED AND AIR CONDITIONED AND UP ON STANDS WITH A BATTERY TENDER ON IT. PLEASE CALL OR E-MAIL ME FOR YOUR QUESTIONS. MY SON KNOWS A LOT MORE ABOUT THIS CAR THAN I DO AND I WILL GIVE YOU HIS E-MAIL OR PHONE # IF I CAN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. I WILL WORK WITH ANY FOREIGN BUYERS.I WILL REQUIRE $500.00 DOWN BY PAY PAL AND THE REMAINING AMOUNT IN CASH OR BANK TO BANK TRANSFER. 870-431-5107 BILL

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.

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.

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.
