1972 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham 7.5l - 455 V8 Fwd-classic Sport Luxury-nice !! on 2040-cars
New Haven, Connecticut, United States
|
1972 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham with 72,700 original miles! This was the TOP of the Line Oldsmobile from 1966 and up, and one of the great body styles before GM ruined the look forever in going to a smaller body style in 1980. The most recent the Toronado was renamed the Trefeo in the mid 80's. These cars were the Oldsmobile version of the Cadillac Eldorado. I have owned both and prefer the Oldsmobile as they run better, longer, and are much less expensive to own. I am the second owner who purchased the car from a dealership in South Carolina. The original owner purchased it in Atlanta Georgia. The car has always been garaged inside. It has never been driven in the snow, and I myself have never even driven it in the rain. This classic Olds is in beautiful shape and I can't even drive down the street without honks, thumbs up and even people wanting me to pull over so they can take a closer look!
She has a 455cu V8 with a Rochester Quadra-jet Carb. She will spin the tires from a dead start without power braking. She handles like a dream and rides like a magic carpet. The paint is a repaint about 2 years old. NO dents, NO bondo, NO scratches! The body is a straight as an arrow! There is a ding about the size of a dime on the front corner of the passenger side front bumper. (see pic)
The interior is all original except the radio, even the floor mats are original! There are some small stains in the driver seat which is a power split bench. They would easily clean, I just never bothered as I had a pad on the drivers side. (I have a bad back.)
The seats, dash and rear window area have ZERO sun fade or cracking. You would think the dash just came off the showroom floor! The carpets are clean and complete! She is a beautiful classic in beautiful condition.
The under carriage is clean and rust free. No engine leaks, and the FWD axles and boots are in perfect condition as are the CV joints. Exhaust system is fairly new and rust and leak free. Lights and accessories all work fine, and engine and transmission run smoothly with no problems.
I am moving out of state and just can't take her with me. I have no storage space and already have 2 other vehicles, so my loss is your gain. This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION and high bidder takes her home! - Power Split Bench Seat - Power Steering - Power Windows - Power Door locks ( stopped working suddenly about a month before I put her away for the winter) - Rear Seat Door Handles (Allows passengers in rear to open the doors from the back seat, very cool!) - A/C - Compressor needs bearing - Cruise Control (works but Cable is disconnected) - New Tires - New Wiper Motor - New Water Pump - New Hoses - New Spark Plugs and Wires - Recent Oil Change - Brand New Car Cover Included
PLEASE READ: I have given full disclosure regarding this car and you can bid with confidence! Serious bidders only and you will be expected to complete the transaction if you are the winning bidder. Please do not bid if you cannot complete the transaction within the time frame specified. I need to move and simply cannot take this car with me or have to return to CT to relist and resell it later. This listing is a legally binding transaction, not a computer game, so please be serious if you bid!
Bidders with a ZERO rating must email me and provide contact information BEFORE bidding so I can verify you are a serious bidder. Failure to do so will result in me cancelling your bid. $500 deposit is required within 48 hours of winning bid. Pickup within 7 days of auction end. NO EXCEPTIONS! Delivery is available within reason at an added and reasonable charge depending on your location. The car is currently garaged but is registered and insured if you want to inspect and test drive it.

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.
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.
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?
