1941 Oldsmobile 66 With 73,500 Original Miles. Barn Find Runs & Drives 2 Door on 2040-cars
Chanute, Kansas, United States
|
Just bought this car and pulled it out of a barn where is had set for 30+ years. Barn was concrete floor and there was only one spot in the trunk a mouse had made a home. Wiring all seems to be good on the car. I had big plans but my circumstances have changed and I just need it gone now. It will be listed here one time. It will be listed with Mecum in December if it does not sell the first go around I have to commit it to Mecum. Seats had seat covers on them so the original seats are not in bad shape at all. We installed to get running: Plugs, points, rotor bug, and a section of fuel line. Car went up on the lift to grease the chassis and check all the fluids as well as change the oil. Fluids were all good and the right colors. Oil and filter were changed Put used tires on it. It needs all new bushings underneath. Brakes do not work. E-Brake is how I stop the car. Most of the gauges are working. There is a dent in the passenger side fender where the old man that had it back his truck into it. Really cool old car. I liked driving it. I drove it to my shop 25 miles from my house with 0 problems. We towed from barn to my uncles shop. Got it running the next day, drove it home then to my shop once I got different tires on it.
RUST: 1 spot only. Other than some surface rust. It is below the drivers side tail light. I am going to be in Vegas Saturday thru Wednesday. I can show it before or after that. Please serious bidders and callers only. I do have several better pictures I can get you upon request. It is cleaned up. Dust is off. I don't need help selling this car. 620-212-5746

After Restoration $25,000 to $40,000 depending on the quality obviously. My reserve is probably to low. |

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The 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.
eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant
Wed, 18 Jun 2014If 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.
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.
