1980 Oldsmobile Toronado XSC coupe. This is a FWD v8 car. It has an automatic transmission, a 307ci engine, and 87,789 miles. It was restored years ago and repainted. The front end was customized to fit a nice, big, Cadillac grille that looks great!

The engine runs good and the car drives good. The transmission shifts well. No known major leaks or mechanical issues.

Since the restore, the car has now developed some rust in 4 main areas. On the exterior bottom portion of the doors the rust has started under the paint and the paint is breaking off. I do not believe the panels need replaced if you have a decent amount of skill with body work. But they is an opinion. The front pillars have bad rust at the bottom section you can see in the pics. I would repair with screen and bondo for a quick fix but metal would be best. Both of these issues are on both sides of the car. As you can also see the bumper inserts are missing. The floors and trunk is very solid. The whole car is very solid excluding the rust issues I just mentioned. The vinyl top has come unglued and needs replaced or removed. There is solid metal under it so simply remove the glue and repaint. I was going to do that and paint the whole roof a different color… maybe white or off white? Black?

The interior is now cracked all up from sun… the car sat some time. Seat covers would be a life saver. It’s a really cool old car… but is no show car by any means.

All the glass is good, the power windows work. The power antenna works as does the stereo. The hood requires 2 people to open as one person has to hold the release lever and the other wiggles the hood. The tires have a lot of tread but are older. The right front brake caliper sticks sometimes and needs replaced or rebuilt. No check engine lights or trouble lights are on. The exhaust may have a leak somewhere as it has a little hum to the sound but it is not all loud like it has a large hole. This is a 2 owner car. It was cared for well for a long time and then was left to sit.

If there are any questions. Call or text me at 304-283-5817

Local pick up only. Cash purchase with a deposit required via paypal if you win. No reserve. Clean and clear WV title. Immediate $100 deposit at end of auction. The remainder must be paid in cash within 3 days and you can let the car stay here as long as 10 days if you need to make arrangements.

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.

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?
