1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 2 door hard top

Olds Rocket 350 with Offenhauser aluminum intake,

Holley 4 bbl carburetor, headers, 2 1/2 dual exhaust

TH375 automatic transmission with Hurst shift kit and Hurst floor shifter.

Power steering, power brakes, air, tilt, Sony AM/FM CD with MP3 cable

15x8 Torque Thrust II wheels with 4 brand new 60 series tires.

Vinyl top and wind shield was replaced in 2008, the windshield had some pits, it was just time for a new one;

the windows were tinted in 2008,

and installed new carpet last year.

The seats need new upholstery to finish the interior, the dash pad,

door panels, and headliner are in really good shape.

The car was painted at one time, don't know if it was the

first or the second owner, but it was done a while back.

It has the normal rock chips, small dings and light scratches here and there

from driving, it is still a very sharp looking car and the paint still has a deep shine.

The hood on the car now is not the original, the hood scoop is a Goodmark

steel cowl hood scoop, but I have kept the original hood that is untouched.

I have the original dash insert with the AM/FM 8track.

I have an ACCEL HEI distributor and an A4 Olds factory aluminum intake

that goes with the car.

I have the original purchase receipt from the dealership, the factory build sheet from under the back seat, all the original warranty papers,

owners manual, and 1973 Oldsmobile chassis repair manual

I also have some other hard to find small parts that come with the car.

I have never had any major problems with this car outside of normal

maintenance, and normal wear on a forty year old car.

It runs good, drives good, and I can depend on it to go anywhere

I want to go, it is a fun car to cruise around or go on a road trip with.

This is a one of a kind car that turns heads everywhere it goes, and

out of every car I've owned... "I have had the most fun with this one."

"The car is garage kept and not driven in the winter since I've owned it."

I'm selling it just as I bought it "as is."

I really hate to sell, but I have to fund my new project car,

and it is time to move on.

If you are serious, and looking for something no one else has,

"This is the one."

If you want to view the car in person, we can make arrangements to do so and I do recommend it.

PLEASE!

"Serious inquiries only"

This is an asking price and I am open to negotiation ,

but... "No low ballers."

I will do a cash deal in person or a $500.00 Paypal deposit due within 24 hours of purchase, and then we will make arrangements for payment of the remaining balance.

Up on sale buyer assumes all responsibility arranging for pick up, and/or transport, paying for shipping, freight, and/or transport charges .

This car is for sale locally and I reserve the right

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.

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.

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.
