This is a very nice example of a low mileage 1963 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88. It currently has 75,500 original miles on it. The car was a one family car when I purchased it. The registrations I have show that the original owner only drove the car a few thousand miles per year and when she passed away the car was given to her brother where again, it was not driven much. When he passed I acquired the car from his daughter. As a matter of fact several of the registrations still have the license plate stickers attached to them as the car was not driven at all that year. In the 10 years that I have owned it I have only put about 5,000 miles on it driving only for parades, trips to the beach and a few long weekend drives.

Since I have owned it, which is nearly 11 years, the car has always been garaged and has never seen the rain. I restored it when I first got it and have done a lot of work to it to keep it in good running condition. I kept most of the original parts that I replaced like the carburetor, and other assorted parts. I have a lot of the original paperwork including the protect-o-plate and most of the registration paperwork since it was new.

Options include, P/S, P/B, 2 Speed Wipers, Deluxe Steering Wheel, Power convertible Top, Remote Trunk Release, AM Radio.

I replaced a lot of parts on the car trying to remember that it is a low mileage car so most improvements were done with originality in mind.

Since I owned it I have replaced:

Convertible top with zip out rear window

Convertible top cylinders and hoses

New seals on convertible top frame

New well liner

Brakes on all four corners

Power brake booster (rebuilt)

Master cylinder

New carburetor

New U-Joints

Carpet

Seats/ door panels recovered

New door seals

New trunk seal

New tires

New wiper motor

Plus lots of other stuff that I can't remember

What it still needs or stuff you should know:

Blinkers don't work

AM Radio plays a lot of static

Horn doesn't work

The front bumper has some pits and the rear has holes where the brackets attach to it (normal for this year)

Drivers door has small paint chip

Top has a scuff by the drivers door

Interior/ Convertible top:

The seats were recently recovered in the original colors, the carpet is relatively new and in great shape. Door panels were redone a few years back and still look great. There are seat belts for the front but no rear seat belts. New seals on both doors. Convertible top was completely removed, sand blasted the entire frame, repainted it and re-installed with new seals. The rear window is still as new. All of the glass is in good shape.

Body:

The car was repainted white a few years back (originally Provincial White). All of the chrome was removed including the bumpers for the repaint. The paint is still really nice but has a few bubbles popping up. The car was virtually rust free and as you can see in the pictures the floor pans are really nice with no signs of rust.

Motor

As far as I know the motor has never been apart. I did some repainting of the engine and fender walls and the engine compartment looks really nice. The motor starts right up and does not smoke.

Suspension:

I have done very little to no suspension work. It still has what I believe to be the original spiral shocks on the front. Tires were replaced several years back and are still as new.

Trunk:

The trunk has been detailed and looks nice. All of the original cardboard pieces are still in good shape and in place.

Look at the pictures, ask lots of questions and bid with confidence after checking my feedback. These are recent pictures and I am representing it as well as I can. Please remember that this is a 50 year old car and as with most cars that old it has flaws. I am a picky person so I hope I am not being to picky pointing out every flaw that it has. This is a really nice car that gets a big thumbs up every time I drive it. Please ask and I will send more detailed pictures.

Please do not bid if you don't have the funds to complete the transaction. I reserve the right to end the auction as I have it for sale locally. If you have negative or zero feedback please email me before you bid as I will cancel any bidders with excessive negative feedback. I am an honest person trying to sell my car and I don't want to play games with people that just want to bid without intending to complete the transaction.

NADA Average retail is $28,400 and high retail is $46,300. My reserve is less than half of the average retail as I need to sell this car to free up room for my other two projects.

Clear Florida title in my name.

The successful high bidder will submit a $1000.00 non-refundable payment deposit with PAYPAL within 24 hours of the close of the auction to secure the vehicle. I will not take PAYPAL for final payment or balance (unless you want to pay the 3% fee). I will accept U.S bank check or cash in person for final payment. Buyer agrees to pay remaining balance due within 7 days of the close of the auction. All financial transactions must be completed before delivery of the vehicle.

I will assist in prepping the car for loading onto a trailer or car hauler but it will be up to you to set it all up.

Inspections are welcomed.

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.

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

The 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.

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?
