Red/Black Automatic/Air This is a rare and stunning concours restoration of a completely original, rust-free car that has been in Georgia its entire life. Still on the original Georgia title issued 11/8/1967. Less than 900 miles since the restoration was completed in 2010. Pictures do not do this car justice. Runs as new, everything works as it should including ice cold air. Drives and sounds great. Car comes with its original steering wheel (in trunk), original owners manual and Protect-O-Plate documenting its Georgia delivery. Some important facts about the car: - Original matching numbers - Original 400 CID engine/350 HP - correct rebuild - Correct quadraject carb and air cleaner - All original sheet metal - laser straight - Spectacular Spanish Red paint - As new interior - dash, seats, headliner, trim - This L78 442 car comes equipped with: - 400 ci/350 HP engine 10:5.1 compression - Oversize valves, manifolds and dual exhaust - HD shocks, springs, driveshaft, stabilizer bars - HD radiator - 70 Amp battery - Power steering - Power front disc brakes - Special grille - 442 Emblems - Three speed turbo-hydramatic transmission - Air conditioning - AM/FM (CD player hidden) - Bucket seats/custom interior - Chrome super stock wheels I am a corvette collector but was unable to pass up this beautiful car when I saw it at the Mecum Indy auction in 2010. It has been kept stored in my warehouse, under cover and started regularly since then. I am only selling to make room for several recent corvette acquisitions. I guarantee you will smile when you see this car - it is truly one of the best you will ever find - and fully documented with its Protect-O-Plate and original Georgia title. |

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant
Wed, 18 Jun 2014If 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.
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.
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.
