Not a replica, this is the Real Deal 2002 Indy 500 Oldsmobile Bravada Pace Vehicle used for the 2001 Indianapolis 500.

Two were produced to run on the track and this is the #2 SUV.

Eleven times Oldsmobile has lead the Indy 500 and this was the vehicle that did it in the very last time.
This was also the first SUV (and probably the last) to ever lead the race.

It is one amazing SUV, modified to run at 140 mph.
Its fast, its loud, and its perfect.
The paint on it is amazing.  What you see are not decals, that is 3 layers of paint.
The only decals are the Indy Logo on the doors and the wings in the front and rear bumpers.
There are two shades of pearl red with another layer of pearl white then lots of clear.

It has 1,328 miles on it.  Modified Vortec 4200, All wheel drive Smartrak.
Its loaded with options and I have a custom car cover.
The wheels are one-off custom for the track cars.
Mandel bent 3" exhaust with SS Edelbrock muffler.

Everything is still in tack just as it was when it ran the track - racing belts, fire extinguisher, and strobe lights.
Along with the light bar in back it also has strobe lights in the head lights, tail lights, and side mirrors.

Do to the fact that the suspension, engine, and emissions were modified the vehicle has a Scrap Title.

How many times do the actual track cars come up for sale especially the only SUV to ever run the Track?
Lots of additional paperwork are included (see pictures).
Also the picture of the back does not show it but I also have the original #2 Indy 500 license plate on the vehicle.

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like additional pictures.

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.

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.

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.
