This is a true 1968 442 Convertible. A rare find in this great condition. Just check out the photos of the frame rails! I bought this car in 2005. At that time I had the car professional stripped to the metal and painted, with several clear coats to protect the beautiful red paint. The top and rear curtain was replaced at that time. This car has not been in the rain since I have owned her, and is kept covered in my insulated garage. It has fresh BF Goodrich tires. It comes with the spare on the special 442 wheel. The number matching TH400 transmission was rebuilt in 2006 by AAMCO, by a fellow who enjoyed restoring old transmissions. I have put about 7,000 miles on her. This car starts right up and drives like it did in 1968. I installed a rebuilt Oldsmobile AM/FM radio with the Wonderbar. Push the Wonderbar and it scans for a station. I replaced the carburetor with the correct rare Factory rebuilt 442 matching 4 barrel carburetor. I have an electric choke installed, but the lucky winner gets the original hard to find manifold mounted choke. It has power front disc brakes, power steering, and an 8 track tape player. It has the rare "wood" steering wheel, and trumpet exhaust tips. The car is drop dead gorgeous. There is a small hairline crack on the passenger side dash, that hides under the dash cover. I have an extra set of hard to find stainless front fender trim pieces, that go with the car. With the classic front bench she has seatbelts for 6! If you've been looking for a nice 1968 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible this is your chance to buy a great one. I require a deposit within 48 hours, and full payment within 1 week.

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.
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.
