I purchased this car 8 years ago with the intent of using for parts to restore my convertible which is presently listed on ebay-SEE MY OTHER LISTING.
When car arrived I felt was in too good of condition to use for parts, also rare, a big block hardtop coupe, so went into storage with convertible.
Now selling convertible (NO RESERVE-ENDS SUNDAY), so am listing this on short notice in case someone wants both.
This one- the coupe- runs well and seem to be roadworthy although tires are old, so would not trust at extended highway speeds.
425 2bbl fires right up and purrs, 400 turbo trans/driveline all strong, brakes firm. I had on lift when first purchased and everything looked in very good condition.
I will post some underneath pics from then and will take exterior pics tomorrow because car has been sitting outside for past 2 years.
Rust wise floors are solid and trunk has surface rust but believe only real rust repairs needed are somewhat minor holes in exterior of 1/4's.
I purchased from a gentleman in CT on bill of sale because that state did not title older vehicles. Since I originally intended to use for parts I never bothered getting
PA title, SO I am selling on bill of sale along with bill of sale I purchased on. Depending on what state you live you may have to go thru title service company.
Besides bodywork, paint and few missing trim pieces, she will need complete interior-headliner(bows are there), seats, carpet, etc.
What you see is what you get- no extra parts. Engine is strong, 88k original miles, and completely original with exception of air cleaner and spliced in fuel filter in line between fuel pump and carb.
This is a completely functional vehicle, drivetrain needs nothing other than perhaps few gaskets or seals and new tires. With body/paint/interior could have cool, rare affordable cruiser.
Please ask questions, 717-468-7966 or email, I check couple times a day.
My starting price is what I paid 8 years ago. NO RESERVE
I will give winning bidder of convertible a 48 hour option to end sale early and purchase this coupe.
If an arrangement is not completed by end of day Tuesday then auction will take its course.
Thank you and Happy bidding!

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.
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.
