Description
Good daily driver which sounds great and turns heads! With newly rebuild 750 cfm QudraJet, the 455 engine with recently replaced front and rear main seals, all belts, alternator and battery newer. Upgraded ignition. Newly rebuilt TH400 transmission with stage 2 shift kit (less than 100 miles on it), the rear is a posi with 3:42 gears and has headers with 3" pipes and glasspacks.
The interiors is easily able to be restored (I do also have the original Atrack and/or a new Sony head unit). The body could use a sanding and some patch panels put in around the rear quarters and trunk lid is salvageable, rest of body spots are fixable.
Must sell ASAP due to baby on the way!
The Good
• Mechanics -- Good and low mileage on engine and new tranny, trustworthy daily driver
• Interior -- Headliner and dash are good, gauges work, seats are ok see pictures
• Body -- All floor pans and trunk are solid
• Frame -- only surface rust nothing to worry about
The Bad
• Paint -- faded but could be cleaned up with a good waxing and clay
• Interior -- Could use a new carpet, needs new door panels and seat covers.
• Body -- Old filler in the quarters has bubbled, only rust spot which has rusted through is a small hole next to the trunk lid, dent on the passenger front panel from garage (easily fixable). Could use patch panels for the rear quarters and the rest can be fixed. Few dents and scratches here and there all fixable, see pictures.

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.
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.
