1969 Oldsmobile Delta 88 2dr convertible in triple black (black top, black paint and black interior). This car was purchased originally in November of 1968 by a lawyer in Paterson, New Jersey and comes with the original Protect-O-Plate, registration, inspection, owner's manual and warranty paperwork. The car has 75,450 original miles on it and Oldsmobile only made 5294 Delta 88 Convertibles in 1969.
The canvas convertible top is new and has a glass, not plastic, rear window. It has no tears, rips or wear marks and is all power that works perfectly with new hydraulic struts. The interior has just been gone through and has new carpet, custom floor mats, etc. The factory a/m radio is mounted in the original location in the dash and an aftermarket Pioneer head unit is mounted in the glove box. The floor pans and underside of the car are in great shape with no signs of rust and I have photos of the floors when the carpet and pad were out of the car. The seats are in great shape and the front seat is power. Has seat belts and seating for six. The glove box latch was missing in these photos, but it's been replaced with a new one from Year One. The 88 is powered by an Olds Rocket 350 that doesn't smoke, leak, burn oil, get hot, etc. It starts every time and it is a great driving car. Automatic transmission shifts great and the exhaust is new. Factory air conditioning blows cold, heater blows hot, power brakes, power steering. Four new tires. We drive this car on the weekends and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. The wheels have factory 88 wheel covers and the chrome and trim on the car are in good condition. I would describe the paint as "driver quality" and it looks great as a cruiser. I purchased the car already painted and don't have any information about who painted it, etc. It is not a concours Haggerty Condition 1 paint job, so I'm not asking $34,100 for it. Upon close inspection there are some paint imperfections, but they are hard to spot by the casual observer. I've never seen another '69 Delta 88 convertible and it draws a crowd wherever you drive it. It is the ultimate family cruiser. NADA Classic Cars Guide says that average retail is $20,000, high retail is $34,100 and low retail is $8950. The value of these pre-70 Oldsmobiles has already hit bottom and is on the way back up. I have clean Texas title in my name. Asking $19,500 and am taking offers.

It was really sunny and I had a lot of problems with my camera when I took these pictures. |

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.
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.
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.
