Hi, I am Ralph from Downeast Classics. I am semi-retired in dealing with older convertibles only, and occasionally run across a good one that I can purchase reasonably, test drive and tweak it for a while, and pass it on. This Royale runs and drives great, with the 350 4bbl pulling as hard if not better than earlier 73-74 455s. Mileage statement to me, states miles as listed for what it is worth. The interior is extraordinarily nice with exception of wear and tear under floor mats. Seats are flawless, dash is nice, door panels excellent. Convertible top recent and nice with proper rear glass window. Top motor and switch work fine. Just tuned up with a fresh oil and filter change, new PCV valve, plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Tires are almost new and are balanced nicely. Hubcaps original to car are in very good shape. Both chrome bumpers are very nice. Brakes, shocks, and front end feel 100%, all passing recent inspection. I would not hesitate to drive this car cross country. Will get underside and top down pictures when rain stops. Small repair near wheel housing needed in trunk. I will take care of it and post picture .......I do not see any rot through on body, paint worn through from stone chips down low, lots of imperfections higher up. Door dings-dents mostly on passenger door. Rest of body pretty straight. This is a great way to buy a car. You can see what you are getting before the paintwork and body work hides the sins and the starting bid is $10,000+.....Please call me to further discuss car ( Ralph @ 207-650-6355) Low feedback bidders (less than 20)will be removed if they fail to contact me to qualify prior to bidding. A bidder with 3 feedback sniped in at end of my last auction and left false feedback without ever contacting me. Ebay is currently investigating this bidder. Check my feedback, over the years it has been flawless. I stand behind what I sell, and will return your deposit, prior to shipment, if you are not satisfied when picking up vehicle in person. I will do everything in my power to make this a positive buying experience. No reserve and low starting bid make this one of the best deals on ebay. ( Paypal deposit of $500 due by next business day on completion of auction)

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.
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.
