GM's ultimate in Sport/Luxury really means business. These were the go getter business man's coupe.. when you wanted luxury, but that sport flare. These cars delivered. With their 3800 V6 engine and corvette ancestry in it's suspension design, these babies would handle extremely well. (quite possibly the ONLY car chase I have ever seen on "Wildest Police Chases" where the cops just could not catch the guys, involved one of these Trofeos. lol.. ) These cars were designed for the DRIVER.. Quite possibly one of the most comfortable cars I've ever driven thanks to the 8 way power seats (yes, BOTH seats function the same) and dual power lumbar supports. I drove one of these cars to California and never had an ounce of leg or back pain. They are so quiet inside and aerodynamic that at 70mph, you can have a WHISPER conversation with someone in the back seat. Just a fantastic, solidly built automobile.
Here's your shot at owning a piece of Oldsmobile history. Their last ditch effort to keep the Toronado name alive, and you can tell in these cars, they spared no expense. This car was just too far ahead of it's time. To buy a car of this caliber today, You have to go with a Cadillac CTS-V or an Audi A-8. As can be seen in the vehicle history report, Since 2005, this car has only racked up a little over 3000 miles. It was well cared for all it's life. The last few years, this car has been in a dry storage unit and taken out a couple weekends during the summer months. This car is currently getting ready for its new owner. Everything is functional on this vehicle except driver's door speaker has a small crackle to it. Currently car is at shop getting final assembly. The tan leather is in decent shape with no rips. only wear marks on driver's side seat left side of bolstering. Wheels getting refinished with new hubcaps as well. Loooong list of NEW parts. as many AC/Delco parts were ordered as I could find.
New Monroe struts
all new rubber brake hoses (AC/Delco)
all new parking brake cable to the pedal(AC\Delco)
All new brake rotors and pads
Remanufactured front calipers
All new anti-corrosion brake lines from anti-lock system to front and rear brakes
All new exhaust system from engine to tail pipe tips
new fuel filler pipe
New AC/Delco Battery
New power steering pressure line (AC/Delco)
New front ball joints and tie-rod ends
recent starter motor
Lots of various hardware, brake hose clips, bushings, etc.
NADA classic car guide lists this vehicle at a high retail of over $8000 and private sale value of $5700. Kelly Blue Book does not have a classic car value system. This car is getting VERY rare. there were only 5000 Toronado's produced in 1992. There's no actual record of the number which were Trofeo's. These cars are akin on stature to the Buick Reatta and the Cadillac Allante and have also been classified in with the infamous DeLorean.
Owner's Manual is in glove box in original pouch. Book itself is not perfect and lots of notes inside as well as service records listed from 1993 to 1999.
The car will not be ready for immediate pick up. Parts had taken a little longer to ship.
****** Yes, the headlight motor works great. No squeaks.
No VIC display
No Moonroof
There is very minor rust on this vehicle. Very easy repairs. May possibly be repaired prior to pickup.
Some info I found for the collector. Here is a list of all the RPO codes this car is equipped with from the factory and the final column has the number of vehicles built with that same RPO and model. Seems as though though the interior color is in fact a rare combination. This car is also one of the LAST cars built. The paint code is not a 1992 version of the Diamond White. It is WA9097 or U9097/L9097 which was a 1993 paint code. As you all know, 92 production started in march 1991. The build date explains why this would have a 1993 paint code. THis car is also #498 fromt he end of production which puts it in the final 500 catagory.

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.

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.

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.
