I am selling my custom 1960 Oldsmobile 88 Special. It is an UNBELIEVABLE head turner. Anytime I've ever been in this car, I always get thumbs up, people honking and waving, people stopping to take pictures! If you don't want a car that gets noticed, this is not the car for you. People love these cars because they are nostalgic and remind them of the good old days!! This is a true throwback with the incredible character that the body has with the flared fenders and rear wing-like quarters.
The interior on the car is actually in very good condition! There is a ton of chrome on the inside of this car!! It has a huge and wide steering wheel and lots of cool accessory buttons. The interior is missing a headliner, which is really easy to find and replace.
The exterior has a custom, hot-rod type paint job with flames. It's an eye catcher, but realistically, if I had endless funds I would have the car repainted. There is a little bit of surface rust and a few spots where some paint is chipping (none larger than a small coin), but nothing major. There is also some rust on the underside of the front hood (tough to see unless you're looking for it). Again, not a big deal. But, these cars fetch BIG money when completely restored, so I'm not asking big money for this car. It wouldn't take much to get it to be a BIG money car, just time and money I don't have to put into this car right now. It also has some great wheels on it. Nothing too flashy, but good old classic wheels
The motor runs great and sounds awesome! It's got a Chevy 350 (I believe) in it and it sounds mean!! It has side pipes that sound killer! For someone who wants a one of a kind type car that gets more attention than a corvette, camaro, chevelle, nova or an older cadillac or mustang at a fraction of the cost, this is it! It's not a true hot rod or rat rod, but could easily be made into one!
For that reason, I am asking for offers on the car. I know about what it's worth. I don't need to sell it, but I could really use the extra cash. Might be interested in a trade, if you have something you think may interest me, let me know. I can make it available anytime day or night to be seen and/or driven.
I also have some of the original documentation that came with the car. Feel free to give me a call or shoot me a text anytime at (704) 575 9510. Thanks

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.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General 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.
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.
