This unique Cotner-Bevinton ambulance served the United States military for many years, prior to being used by a small volunteer Fire Department in north Texas. Built on an Oldsmobile 98 chassis, there is no divider between the driver and patient compartments. Another unique feature is the dual folding jump seats, with detachable seatbelts for both. This appears to be an AF spec.

The body is intact, some corrosion on the hood edge, and a few other places. The front floor pans need to be replaced. The interior is in good shape, including the head liner, except for a small tear that can be repaired. The paint is faded, and the AF paint is visible in areas. The motor is strong, turns over easily and could be a daily driver with just a little work. The AC compressor is missing, but is a standard GM part.

The great thing about this vehicle is that being built on a standard Olds 98 chassis, parts are still available. I bought this car about 20 years ago, and have very little previous info available. I will try to answer any specific questions you may have, prior to the end of the auction. The mechanical siren was donated to the local VFD already, and the roof light works, but the bottom collar has a dent in it.

I have set the buy it now option at a very fair price for this great car. Don’t let it get away; it may be many years before another comes available.

I have antique tags on this car and I drive it occasionally. It starts, runs, drives, and stops good. The tires are fair but dry rotted. If you are in the Dallas-Fort Worth, or the Austin area, I can deliver to you at $2 mile from my house in Early, Texas. If you are in Central Texas, and would like to inspect this unique ambulance, just contact me, and we can arrange a time.

Car is for sale locally, and has generated interest. If you would like to make a cash offer, use the “ask a question button” to contact me. I will not accept an offer for just the motor.

Deposit of $500 via PAYPAL within 48 hours of deal, remainder by cash or cashiers check.

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.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General 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.

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?
