Up for auction at NO RESERVE, an amazingly solid 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88.  This car has been parked under a carport since 1991 the last inspection

sticker is still in the window, and health problems have forced the cars owner to sell some personal items to pay for his care. The Odometer reads 70,000

miles and honestly I have to believe that it is correct.  A new battery, fresh gas and oil, and a new alternator and this car starts, runs and drives as if it were

new.  The Interior is definitely a bit musty but is all there and is in great shape other than the tears on the drivers side seats and the area in the rear window

(pictured).  The exterior is VERY straight with a tiny ding in the passenger rear door, and the area between the rear window and the trunk cracking and

peeling away. The metal there is still very solid and just has minor surface rust starting.  The trunk and floor pans are also solid.  Everything works except

the dash lights, probably a fuse, and the AC which would probably work, I just didnt want to try it without charging it first.  This car is a blast to drive and

does so with style.  The 350 starts right up and sounds awesome.  It does not smoke or leak and has plenty of power and pulls strong with no hesitation.  It

shifts through the gears and handles and brakes admirably.  It really is a fun car to cruise around in and the condition was nothing short of a surprise.  This

is an excellent candidate for a quick resto or a daily driver.  The car is has a low starting bid and NO RESERVE, so bid with confidence. Please contact me

through e-bay with any questions or requests for specific pictures.  Good bidding!

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.

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.
