Well here we go! A car from the Lambrecht Chevrolet auction! It's not one of the under 5 mile cars but has low miles and from our research is the correct mileage. We found the registration in the glove box from 1971 and a service record from Conoco both in the 51,000 mile range.
The car was parked on Mr. Lambrechts family farm and never moved until the day we bought her. The dirt had settled up around it and we could tell it was there for many years. Luckily it was not packed in the trees, you could tell which cars had been in the trees, they all had major body damage! This car has only small weed tree rubbings on the top and trunk.
Far as rust goes, the car is in great condition. The passengers floor is the worst. Other areas are the trunk weatherstrip lip and the passengers lower underside. Also the rear quarter panel is starting to get a crack along the line where it folds under.
When we got the car back to the shop the only thing we gave her is a bath, we removed the seats and carpet to check floors. A solid vacuuming and power washed the underside.
At present time we are just going to try and sell it the way it is, but in the future if it does not sell the plan is to restore and update the drive train and appearance.
From the research this car model only came with a 330 rocket motor with automatic trans, there was never an option with a stick shift, but in 65 you could get one with a 4 speed along with 2 motor options. We suspect that someone took a 65 or newer drivetrain and installed it.
Thanks for looking and bidding. Any additional info or knowledge of the vehicle you may have would be greatly appreciated.
I reserve the right to end auction at any time due to selling car or deciding not to sell
Also I have the capability to deliver car for a fee if you need.
DEPOSIT IS NONE REFUNDABLE SO BE SURE YOU ARE NOT WAISTING YOUR'S OR OUR'S TIME

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.
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.
