1950 Oldsmobile 88 - Factory Blue Paint, Rocket V8 Motor, on 2040-cars
Hemet, California, United States
|
This was my dream car since high school. Within 1 year of acquiring it, vision impairments hindered my ability to drive. It has been garaged for the last 6 years and I've decided it needs a new home where it can be restored or at least driven and enjoyed AS IS.
Car has been driven no more than 120 miles in the 6 years I have owned it. During my period of ownership I have rebuilt carb, rebuilt radiator and core installed dual exhaust system and custom wheels. Shock springs were reduced in size for a more sleek appearance which also improved ride & handling . ( decided against air bags due to requirement of body being cut) All repairs & maintenance performed is documented . Previous owners also kept records. Odometer reading is consistant with maintenance records. Previous owners were also California residents. No significant rust nor is there evidence of collision damage. Dash is uncut - no cracks, with factory radio (does not work) All gauges & knobs are intact and functional. The interior is exceptionally clean. Upholstery & headliner have obviously been replaced at some time unknown. There are no rips, stains or damage of any of any kind. Factory blue paint has scratches & chips consistent with age. Some deep scratches are appearent on hood, roof and rear quarter panel from what was described to me as an awning collapse in sudden wind storm. Wheel skirts, original wheels are included in sale. It is my intention to find new owner with enthusiasm who will restore or at least preserve its condition. Title is clear. Registration is expired. All DMV requirements of seller will be fulfilled. Buyer is responsible for all shipping & related costs. As per Ebay policy---Paypal can only be used for deposit amounts. I wont send anyone anything anywhere through whatever channels requested. been there, didn't do it & don't plan on it - so don't waste your time trying. Please do no attempt to impersonate ebay/paypal, etc by sending fake correspondence (the spelling & punctuation is so horrible and reflects lack of education ) Cash in person a time of pick-up . Electronic bank transfer is also available. Vehicle will not be released until funds have cleared. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. I will promptly reply to all inquiries, Thank You |

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.
This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]
Thu, 09 Oct 2014The 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?
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.
