Due to serious medical bills, issues and old age I must downsize my car collection. Trust me I don't want to it's a must. I'm just trying to get most of my investment back not make money. This solid Florida based car never saw salt or snow and the condition of it reflects that. The paint is very nice and the chrome bumpers and grill are beautiful. A couple of trinkets could use re-chroming if you’re fussy. The car is super straight with no visible rust. The glass is original with one crack in the passenger side rear door window (flat glass but didn't bother me enough to replace it). The interior is nice and very comfortable with upgraded newer Oldsmobile loose cushion design seats and matching door panels. This car has 85,400 original miles and the Olds Rocket engine runs smooth and strong and the hydromatic transmission shifts as it should. At a stop light you would think it stalled it idles that smooth. The Olds has power steering, power brakes and power seat. A great sounding aftermarket stereo and tape player is mounted under the dash. All lights and gauges work as they should but the fuel gauge isn't accurate. The tires are like new and this Oldsmobile drives down the road great and comfortably. I think the classic 4 door hardtop models with fender skirts and no post have much nicer lines than the 2 door coupes. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car anywhere it's always a crowd pleasure everywhere it goes. The trunk is finished off nice with carpet and pockets for storage. I reserve the right to stop the auction at any time as the car is for sale locally. Please take your bidding seriously and ask all questions before the sale. Come see the car if you like but after my low reserve is met the sale must be completed. Bid with confidence I hate to see it go!! Winner is responsible for shipping but I will assist on this end, if you have serious questions call 856-327-0289 (home) or 609-501-5192 (cell) and I'll be glad to talk. Don't be afraid, this one is a good one. God Bless John.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

The 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?

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.
