1966 Cutlass Convertible, maybe a Sport Vista. Not in that bad of shape for a 1966. Many new parts, and it needs some more. I just do not have time for it.


I bought this car with the interior out (in the trunk). I replaced the floor pans, undermats and insulation. I put in new carpet, and purchased new door panels, which are not yet installed. The seats are in good condition, yet some of the stitching is starting to pop.The dash is okay, and the dash board is rough. The center shift consul is missing some of the parts. The wiring under the dash could be cleaned up, looks like someone who was clueless installed the after market cheap stereo. I have new power window switches and a new top in a box. The hydraulic cylinders for the top are good and I'm told "are easy to rebuild". The pump/reservoir needs to be replaced. I never installed the top since I have no tools (upholstery) and the two folks that do upholstery (locals) don't want to do it.

Mechanical wise, it has new springs in the back, and all new shocks. I re-did the drum brakes times 4. The transmission leaks a little at the cooling lines, that run forward along the oil pan. The motor has a few new lifters and pushrods. It will need a valve job at some point, as after running and warming up, and then sitting, you fire it up and it burns just a little blue smoke. The carburator needs a rebuild, as the fuel bleeds out after sitting for a few days, and it becomes a little hard to start (no fuel).

The body looks like it has bondo in some places (rear quarters). It has less then I thought, as the paint fade is unique. I put refridgerator magnets all over the places that look funny and they stuck (excluding the rear quarters and around the wheel openings). The front bumper is bent, but easy to find in junkyards. The trunk lock is missing, and the floor in the trunk is good.

I bought this car 8 years ago, and basically worked on it as I had money. I have kids now and many other projects, and basically I'm tired of fixing things. The wife just wants a station wagon from the 60's, which would be more useable for us. With out a whole lot of effort this car is road worthy. 

Winning bidder deposit by Paypal $500. Once the winner sees the car and it is not what I have expressed here, or it is not of their satisfaction, I will refund all, except the cost I pay for the winning deposit.

I'm also interested in trades, a 66 or 67 Chevrolet station wagon, Chevelle, Impalla, Sport Vista et cetra. A 1990's 4700 international truck, crew cab with DT466, manual trans, (the right trade I can support with cash on my side to make fair).

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.

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.

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

The 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.
