24 Year Storage on 2040-cars
Ottawa, Illinois, United States
|
1987 Cutlass supreme... was bought new and always garaged...It has been stored in a heated garage for 24 years. You will be the second owner... I am selling for the son of the original owner...so here is what I have been told... the car was bought new from the dealership by his father and the son was able to drive it with the fathers permission. The son took the car out without the dad's approval on a weekend night and was then grounded from the car...It became a match of who was going to show who was more stubborn... Thus the car sat in the garage from that weekend till a couple weeks ago... The father had a stroke and can no longer live at home...the son is now power of attorney and just wants to sell the car...being that is was a wedge between them when he was a teenager. The body looks to be rust free... the undersides look rust free and the car still looks pretty nice....the interior is all stock and no rips or tears that I noticed... the headliner is coming down above the back seat area... the body does have a scrape on the driver front fender where I could see it came in contact with the garage door opening where the car had sat all its life... yes there is a dent but I am sure it can be fixed without major expense... I pulled the trunk liner away on the sides and I see no rust at all... trunk looks clean with original spare. tires are original and hold air for awhile... left rear does have a slow leak... engine compartment is stock and all there.... I have no idea of the running condition, and I have not tried to get the car to start. A vehicle sitting this long should be looked at my a qualified mechanic and maintenance done or repairs as necessary...I do not want to mess up anything that could be properly done to get the car running... No warranty... the car will have to be hauled on a trailer or roll back.... You have an excellent piece to work with here...This would be a great car to fix up and have a nice original car. or modify to your liking...possibilities are many... No warranties expressed or implied.... The car is for sale locally and reserve the right to end the auction early... If you are looking to buy this car bid to win and bring cash... I will not accept any offers to buy the car plus pay me for shipping... then I drop it off to your "shipper" that scam ain't gona happen.... |

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.
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.
