I have for sale a 1978 Olds Cutlass. 2 door V8 automatic. I painted it black over white it has red interior. The car is completely rust free. I put a custom exhaust on it last year. It has cragar wheels and the tires are new. I just put new brakes on it last year and new wheel bearing on the front. This car is straight and clean. It drive smooth and starts on the first turn over every time. In spite of my best efforts it is not a hot rod. However it does run perfect. The 305 is strong but the rear end is geared for highway top end speed in stead of stop light to stop light speed. I realized this while I was timing the engine and couldn't make it quick when I realized I was doing 70 in second gear and had a lot of room left. The engine pulls fine but if you want quick the rearend will need to be changed. I had the quadrajet carburator cleaned and rebuilt last year. The ignition is all new including a new distributor. All new wires and plugs. Radiator was replaced 2 years ago. New fuel pump and all new lines. I love this car and can't stand to sell it. I bought it and built it for my son and he never drives it. It's too old school for him. And it's impractical for me and I can't just have it sitting in the driveway. The only blemish on the car is the front passenger quarter panel is damaged due to my son trying to take the Cragars off and put on 24's. He didn't get the lugs threaded correctly and tire fell off while he was driving. I took the 24's off and rebuilt the frontend, hense the new wheels bearing and new rotors. Had it aligned and put the Cragars back on. The only remaining damage is the quarter panel should be replaced. This year this car will be 35 years old making it eligible to tag as a classic car in Kansas. Some states are different but in Kansas at 35 years old you can buy classic plates and you never have to register it again. I spent 2400 dollars on the car when I bought it for my son and I put a ton of money and work into it. But... because of the damage to the fender I am not trying to make money out of this. I just want my initial investment back. I am setting the reserve at 2200 dollars. If the auction hits that it will sell. If needed and we can reach an agreement on cost I can deliver after the auction is over and payment is recieved. I expect to drive it to you and rent a car home. But I have my limits. I live in Kansas. I would entertain delivering for a fee up to 1000 miles in any direction. Farther than that will have to be negotiated in advance. I will not ship overseas. I will not accept bids from out of the United States. I reserve the right to cancell any bid for any reason or end the auction at anytime. The car is titled in my name and is free and clear of any liens. This is the only picture I have on this computer. I will try to add more to the listing later.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]
Thu, 09 Oct 2014The 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?
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.
