Always Garage Kept

This is my personal car that I bought approximately in 1992 as a 1-owner new car trade in. It is a very nice car that mostly sits in the garage and only comes out on nice days for little cruises to the Frosty Boy Drive In or whatever when time allows. It is not perfect but it is VERY nice or I wouldn't waste our time saying so.

I have kept this car under cover and inside my garage since day one while I drove a company car, so the mileage is very very low for this year vehicle. It has been taken care of and whatever needed fixed was or replaced. All the little things that go wrong have been replaced.

The tires are like new, it has a new battery. In 1996 at around 80,000 miles I had the transmission professional rebuilt because I got caught out in a surprised snow storm and I messed it up getting out of a snow/ice rut in the city street. A couple years ago I had it professionally painted the original Oldsmobile color by a custom painter, The Amazing Ater, who made it better then new!! The interior is great and all the digital dash works fine. Everything seems to be working fine, but to be honest I have only drove it this year for these photos. It has dark tinted windows.

Also, I have done nothing to spruce it up or wipe shiney stuff on any of it. It came out of the garage for pics and right back inside. It just doesn't get used and I can use the space so it its for sale now.

What I do know is wrong if you can call it that, is the leather steering wheel could use some conditioner rubbed on it, the drivers power window works but is a tad bit slow and there might be a very small hardly noticeable ding somewhere around the bottom from some irresponsible parker..... and if I didn't bring it up, few would notice. I'm just trying to remember everything to be as honest as possible.

I will consider offers but PLEASE do not waste our time attempting to low ball me, its not costing me anything and I love the car anyway. IF YOU want a very nice, loaded, great running great looking car this is it.

Please check my feedback and know that this auction is written as complete and honest as possible. The vehicle is in really great shape, never abused, all you need is gas.

My car is also being offered locally so if does sell before the auction ends with no bids, I will delete this auction.

It can be picked up after paid in cash or a verifiable bank check has cleared. I will work with anyone who makes their own transportation arrangements, and I might even be able to drive south, maybe as far as Elizabeth Town, KY to help out with meeting for delivery? If so cash will be necessary.

Otherwise it can be picked up here in Indianapolis.

No Reserve and it is a GREAT car for this money regardless of any book prices.

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If 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.

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.

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?
