ORIGINAL--ORIGINAL--ORIGINAL

This beautiful Cutlass is truly a survivor--all original and with extremely low miles. It spent most of its life in dry, dry Texas, garaged, therefore NO RUST ANYWHERE, EVER! (It has only been in the northeast a short time.) All indications are the mileage is original also, only 50,300. Study the pictures: everything is as it left the factory (the matching wheels will be put back before delivery; the white ones on the car in the pictures are off my other Cutlass convertible. I put them on this car because I took it to a local show.) I have two Cutlass convertibles; the other one is a 1970; starting with an original car and has been restored to a very high standard. I only take it to shows and I am uncomfortable driving it on the street, unlike my 1972 that you are looking at now. The 1972 is an incredible car--it is a survivor and everything is original--drive it anywhere. The car is beautiful and commands a lot of attention wherever I go. There are dozens of nicks, dings and scrapes, and it still looks fantastic (see the pictures: 2 slight dents, left front fender behind headlight and right side below factory body side molding behind the rear wheel.) The paint is almost entirely original. The chrome and stainless steel is great. The dash is perfect, door panels are great (except drivers' side arm rest/strap.) Glass is great. Top is very nice, works perfectly (1 tiny fixable cut above right rear window.) The seats are very nice but the bottom of the drivers' seat should be replaced (OPG has a complete original replacement cover set for under $500.) Look at the trunk floor, original--even the factory splatter paint is still there. The engine and transmission are perfect. Best of all, it runs and drives like you would expect a 50,000 mile car to. If you want a rust-free, totally original survivor, give my Cutlass some consideration--you will not be disappointed.

I have the original matching tonneau cover. It is in excellent condition.

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?
