UP FOR BID IS A BEAUTIFUL 1978 OLDSMOBILE TORONADO BROUGHAM COUPE. THIS IS THE LAST YEAR FOR THE FULL SIZE FRONT WHEEL DRIVE OLDS TORONADO. IN 1979 THE MODEL WAS DOWNSIZED. THE CAR HAS A SHARP RED EXTERIOR PAINT JOB AND A WHITE VINYL ROOF. IT HAS A 403 CUBIC INCH V-8 ACTUALLY MADE BY THE OLDSMOBILE DIVISION OF GENERAL MOTOR I BELIEVE. THE CAR HAS A BEAUTIFUL RED CLOTH INTERIOR THAT IS TUFTED AND IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION. THE CAR HAS AN AM/FM STEREO GM RADIO WITH A BUILT IN 8 TRACK PLAYER. THAT WAS THE TOP OF THE LINE AUDIO SYSTEM FOR 1978. THE CAR HAS A POWER ANTENNAE THAT WORKS EVERY TIME. ALL SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE WORK FINE. IT HAS POWER WINDOWS, POWER DRIVER'S SEAT, POWER LOCKS, POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, CRUISE CONTROL, A TILT STEERING WHEEL AND IT ALL WORKS FINE. THE ONLY FLAW IN THE INTERIOR IS A SMALL CRACK IN THE DRIVERS SIDE ARMREST WHEN SOMEONE ARM WOULD SIT. THE VEHICLE NEEDS NOTHING AND ALL THE FLUIDS HAVE BEEN CHANGED SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR.

THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH SOME SLIGHT RUST. REMEMBER THIS IS A 1978 VEHICLE (35 YEARS OLD) AND HAS A LIGHT PATINA OF RUST ON SOME SURFACES ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND NOTHING UNDERNEATH NEEDS SERVICE ATTENTION.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A EBAY LISTING ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO. IT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY CHECKED OUT AND EVERYTHING HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND RENEWED. THE VEHICLE STARTS, DRIVES, STOPS AND PERFORMS PERFECTLY. IT IS A POWERFUL CAR AND WILL CRUISE ALL DAY AT 75MPH.

IT IS CLEAR TO SEE THE VEHICLE WAS WELL KEPT AND IS IN GREAT CONDITION.

THE CAR IS SOLD WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY. IT IS SOLD AS-IS. THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND WILL BE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY OLDSMOBILE COLLECTION.

TRANSPORTATION IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NEW OWNER. I WILL WORK WITH THE TRANSPORT COMPANY TO ARRANGE THE PICKUP.

CAREFULLY EXAMINE ALL THE PHOTOS POSTED WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS CAR IS A PLEASURE TO DRIVE AND READY TO GO.

ANY QUESTIONS CALL VINCE AT 585-259-3958.

THANKS AND CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS.

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.

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.
