Cutlass Salon, Selling At No Reserve on 2040-cars
United States
|
This vehicle was a 'Special Order' car with the order being submitted late in August of 1975. It was part of a fleet order, done by my father, of about 200 Oldsmobile products, from his corporate office on Park Avenue in New York City.. One of 67 known five speed Cutlass Salon models built, it was delivered to Scott-Smith Oldsmobile in Orlando, Florida on May 1st, 1976. Loaded with options, the factory window sticker reveals an MSRP base price of $3850.00 with the 'T'-Tops adding another $550.00, more than 10% of the base price, and with all the additional options, making the total suggested retail price $7425. The paint is in excellent condition with a small chip on the hood edge. This car lacks any parking lot rash, rust or aged vinyl top.The plastic bumper fillers are as new. I have always garaged the car and since retiring it from everyday use, it sits in my climate controlled garage. The two barrel engine was providing about 23 MPG on the highway and it runs as good as it looks. The air conditioning has not been touched in many years and yet the R-12 system blows very cold. The original colors are Mahogany lacquer with a Buckskin vinyl top and pin stripe. The interior retains the maroon cloth on oversize bucket 'Salon' seats. I desire the bidder to view this car or have a qualified person inspect it for them. The electric windows operate slowly but all the rest of the car functions properly. I have the original window sticker, ( a copy is on the passenger window). Things like the sun visor sleeve that illustrates how to remove the ignition key, the plastic seat belt 'limit' pieces are correct and the factory rubber floor mats appear as new. The wheel lip mouldings lack dents and dings as I always carefully parked my car away from others in the parking lots. Please contact me for additional, specific photos as I have a large picture file that has many shots. Thank you for viewing my car. Wellington Morton (904) 230-4448. I do not accept PayPal and a deposit is not required although I am requesting that payment be settled in seven days.
While attempting to locate the original window sticker, that I found in the glove box, I noticed all the factory books and envelope; Owner's manual, warranty, emission, and most important: THE ORIGINAL STICKER IS STILL ON THE INSIDE OF THE GLOVE BOX DOOR THAT STATES: "THIS VEHICLE WAS ALTERED BY HURST PERFORMANCE COMPANY AND COMPLIES WITH ALL FEDERAL GUIDELINES IN EFFECT IN 1976" THE OPTIONS AS LISTED ON THE WINDOW ARE:

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.
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.
