We have a 1956 Oldsmobile Super 88.This car belonged to my late father.He took well care of this car.We had it running about 6 months ago and ran great.I had the carb. rebuilt and had to drain all the gas out of it as it was in there for a while.We have had it covered since dad passed in 2009.When we went to start again wouldnt start.It cranks fine but not getting gas.I bought a new fuel pump on ebay and again Started right up and drove fine.Next day would not start again.We were going to put a electric fuel pump in it.But we just dont have room for the car anymore.My son detailed the outside of car and still has a great shine.There are a few scratches here and there but nothing major.The front passenger window is cracked but does not leak.My mom closed the door which is very heavy and window was down and it cracked.There a tear in the front seat but it is not bad.The back seat is perfect.I know my father had transmission rebuilt before he passed.He drove this car weekly and was his pride and joy.We hate to get rid of it but 5 cars is just too much to just let this car sit.I do not believe there are any major problems with this car other then the fuel getting to carb.The chrome is in good shape with maybe tiny pitting spots.But nothing major.I'm going to put a few pictures up now and will put more up when i can take pictures in the daylight.If there is any questions please feel free to ask.Buyer will need to make a 500.00 Deposit at end of auction.Buyer must arrange for own shipping.The title is clear and in hand.If car purchased in Florida it has a legal !956 Florida plate on it i can check to see if i can transfer to buyer.The trunk is full of extra parts like brake pads filters gaskets there are repair manuals and some other things but the trunk is full of stuff for the car.Thank you for looking.Good luck.Feel free to make a fair and reasonable offer as we dont need to sell but we are not going to give it away.Thank you

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.
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.
