I am selling my custom 1960 Oldsmobile 88 Special. It is an UNBELIEVABLE head turner. Anytime I've ever been in this car, I always get thumbs up, people honking and waving, people stopping to take pictures! If you don't want a car that gets noticed, this is not the car for you. People love these cars because they are nostalgic and remind them of the good old days!! This is a true throwback with the incredible character that the body has with the flared fenders and rear wing-like quarters.
The interior on the car is actually in very good condition! There is a ton of chrome on the inside of this car!! It has a huge and wide steering wheel and lots of cool accessory buttons. It kind of feels like you're floating when you drive this boat. The interior is missing a headliner, which is really not a big deal and you don't really even notice it.
The exterior has a custom, hot-rod type paint job with flames. It's an eye catcher, but realistically, if I had endless funds I would have the car repainted. There is a little bit of surface rust, nothing major. There is also some rust on the underside of the front hood and the windshield is cracked. Again, not a big deal. But, these cars fetch BIG money when completely restored, so I'm not asking big money for this car. It wouldn't take much to get it to be a BIG money car, just time and money I don't have to put into this car right now. It also has some great Cragar wheels on it. Nothing too flashy, but good old classic wheels
The motor runs great and sounds awesome! It's got an Oldsmobile 370 (I think) in it and it sounds mean!! It cranks up first time and it has side pipes that sound killer! For someone who wants a one of a kind type car that gets more attention than a corvette, camaro, chevelle, nova or an older cadillac or mustang, this is it! It's not a true hot rod or rat rod, but could easily be made into one!
For that reason, I am asking for offers on the car. I know about what it's worth, so I won't consider any low ball offers. I don't need to sell it, but could use the extra funds right now. I can make it available anytime day or night to be seen and/or driven.
I also have some of the original documentation that came with the car. Feel free to give me a call or shoot me a text anytime at (704) 575 9510
Was just told by someone who knows more about cars than I do that it has a Chevy 350 motor in the car.

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.
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?
