     This 1956 Oldsmobile Super 88 Holiday 4 dr. hardtop is a nice solid car.  Solid floors, pans and trunk (see pics).  It has a correct 324 cu. in. engine, 4 bbl. carb., auto trans, power steering and brakes.  Over $3000. spent on engine overhaul by machine shop.  Bored .040 over, crank ground .010.  Heads reworked for unleaded fuel.  Work done right - no corners cut.  All new components, water pump, belts, hoses and 4 bbl. carb. overhaul.  Radiator boiled and cleaned.  Fuel tank flushed and coated.  Too much more to list.  Bat wing air cleaner is still original.

     All front and rear bumper components have been rechromed and ready to install.  Over $3000. spent!  Fancy rear bumper is notched out for dual exhausts. 

    Paint and body work complete.  Base coat/ clear coat.  Pics do not do justice.  GM white has a pearl tint.  Black has Prizmatic in paint which shows up different colors in the sun.  Trim was removed and car was professionally painted by body shop (over $4000.) and looks awesome!  Original headliner is in good condition and I have interior door panels for patterns.  The original dash pad has no cracks.  All stainless trim is in good condition.  Two side window glasses are cracked and some of  the potmetal has pitting which is common  with cars of this age.  All upholstery and carpeting need replaced.

     I have many extra parts along with the original factory owner and sales brochure.  I also have the factory service manuel.  This car  runs and drives.  I am just physically unable to finish this project.  I have tried to describe this car honestly and correctly.  Please feel free to call me for more information @ 304-895-3311.  Thank you lor looking!

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.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General 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.
