1966 Cutlass Convertible, maybe a Sport Vista. Not in that bad of shape for a 1966. Many new parts, and it needs some more. I just do not have time for it.


I bought this car with the interior out (in the trunk). I replaced the floor pans, undermats and insulation. I put in new carpet, and purchased new door panels, which are not yet installed. The seats are in good condition, yet some of the stitching is starting to pop.The dash is okay, and the dash board is rough. The center shift consul is missing some of the parts. The wiring under the dash could be cleaned up, looks like someone who was clueless installed the after market cheap stereo. I have new power window switches and a new top in a box. The hydraulic cylinders for the top are good and I'm told "are easy to rebuild". The pump/reservoir needs to be replaced. I never installed the top since I have no tools (upholstery) and the two folks that do upholstery (locals) don't want to do it.

Mechanical wise, it has new springs in the back, and all new shocks. I re-did the drum brakes times 4. The transmission leaks a little at the cooling lines, that run forward along the oil pan. The motor has a few new lifters and pushrods. It will need a valve job at some point, as after running and warming up, and then sitting, you fire it up and it burns just a little blue smoke. The carburator needs a rebuild, as the fuel bleeds out after sitting for a few days, and it becomes a little hard to start (no fuel).

The body looks like it has bondo in some places (rear quarters). It has less then I thought, as the paint fade is unique. I put refridgerator magnets all over the places that look funny and they stuck (excluding the rear quarters and around the wheel openings). The front bumper is bent, but easy to find in junkyards. The trunk lock is missing, and the floor in the trunk is good.

I bought this car 8 years ago, and basically worked on it as I had money. I have kids now and many other projects, and basically I'm tired of fixing things. The wife just wants a station wagon from the 60's, which would be more useable for us. With out a whole lot of effort this car is road worthy. 

Winning bidder deposit by Paypal $500. Once the winner sees the car and it is not what I have expressed here, or it is not of their satisfaction, I will refund all, except the cost I pay for the winning deposit.

I'm also interested in trades, a 66 or 67 Chevrolet station wagon, Chevelle, Impalla, Sport Vista et cetra. A 1990's 4700 international truck, crew cab with DT466, manual trans, (the right trade I can support with cash on my side to make fair).

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.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?
