This is a relisted auction, The last winner didn't realize its a 4 door. Please don't make that mistake. Up for auction is my 1956 Oldsmobile Super 88 with 85000 original miles. Originally a mid-west car, this car has been in my family for almost 20 years. This car is so cool and really fun to drive. Gets tons of attention everywhere it goes. It is slightly lowered in the rear with lowering blocks and stock height in front. The engine is the original 324 V8 with very recent work done including new cam, lifters, pushrods and timing chain. This car was fitted with A/C though it may need to be charged. The 3 speed Jetaway trans was rebuilt a few years ago. There is no rust anywhere on this car, and I mean NO RUST EVER. The interior was recovered and looks great. That includes the front and rear seats, door panels and headliner. There is also a hidden modern radio in the glove box. Outside you'll find two tone grey and silver repaint with Hot Rod style flames. The tires are WIDE WHITE bias ply with good tread with 57 Cadillac style hubcaps. On the rear is an aftermarket continental kit . It is bolt on, so it could easily removed if it's not your taste. Dummy spots and lake pipes. There are some small imperfections on this car as you'd expect from a driver. They include windshield chips and delimitation, some very small scraps and scratches in the paint and side trim. This car has been driven regularly and has seen many several hour round trips out of state and back with no problem at all. It pulls sightly to the right when breaking. It's not n issue but the front brakes will need attention. This is such a great car and we're sad to see it go. Please feel free to ask any questions, I'll do my best to accurately answer them. Feel free to come look at the car in person before making a bid. I've done my best to describe this cars pluses and minuses. Thank you for looking and good luck. I reserve the right to end the auction early for a local sale. 484 319-8808 |

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.
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?
