I am selling this car for my father in law. He bought this car from the dealer on his 40th birthday. August 1, 1995 the original engine had 173,000 miles on it. On that date he took it into a mechanic to have the cylinders bored and the mechanic told him he could replace the engine with one he had for just a few dollars more. The mechanic installed the new engine, a power steering pump, alternator, battery, master cylinder, brake pads, starter, distributor, windshield washer pump, coil, water pump, fuel pump, front end, rebuilt the transmission, torquer converter, shocks, air cleaner, exhaust system and motor mounts.We have all documentation of new parts and services. Engine holds 8 to 9 quarts of oil. The engine runs perfect, at 90 miles an hour it cruises like it going down hill with the wind at it's back. We were latter told by our now (family) mechanic that he believed the engine to be a built 455. The odometer now reads 21,980, it was reset when the transmission was rebuilt in 1995. From 1995 to 2007 my father in law would use the car to drive to his golf course but for virtually nothing else. The car has be sitting for a couple years in my garage. I start it up often and take it out for a little spin about once a month.

I brought this vehicle to my house to store it for father in law and noticed that the brakes were soft so I removed the master cylinder and replaced it with a new one. My father in law had kept all the original receipts and since we have the original life time parts receipt's from NAPA the parts qualify for no cost replacement. I paid $0 for the master cylinder.

He had replaced the convertible top motor twice in it's lifetime, and it needs to be replaced again. The top does not operate electrically. I move it up and down manually.

There is rust around the wheel wells and back floorboard, see pictures, what you see is what you get.

Send me questions, I am not a motorhead but I will answer to the best of my abilities.

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.

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.
