selling my 66 toronado. this makes a great restoration project,car runs and drives,transmission shifts smooth,.rides good,drives good. not being a mechanic and i have not had the time to take it to a mechanic,but,to me,it seems that the motor is a little tired. does smoke a little.the previous owner replaced the exhaust system,but only put single exhaust on it,when it should of had duals.the interior is worn,seats would need to be redone. door panels,and rear side panels are in great condition.carpet is worn,but the car seems to not have any rusted-out places. all 5 original wheels,complete with factory beauty rims and center caps.the spare is currently on the right-front side,but matching whitewall tire,and rim,are in the trunk. along with it is 4 pieces of wheel-well trim,wheel wells are not rusted. i was told the cars original gas tank had a leak,and was replaced with a 73 malibu fuel tank. passenger side door does not open..don't know why,it was like that when i bought it.door handles,locking system seems to work,but can't get it open. the car has sat for a long time. has an excellant heater in it,only one power window works,and that is on the drivers door.has the twin-snorkle air cleaner.carb was rebuilt,but needs a choke-pull off cable. after starting,like the old cars,sometimes you have to hit the accelator to knock off the choke.radio,and clock do not work,nor,of course,the a/c.all interior lites work,when opening the doors.turn signals not working,could be a fuse,i never got to that point. several of the 1157 bulb connections are bad in rear,but i purchased 5 new ones,still in the box,that goes with it.the headlite-opening canister has a rusted-off pit-cock on the bottom of it,all the lines seem to be there.you can lift them manualy.original color of car was silver. looks like someone painted it black,with a wagner-power painter,in a driveway. pictures actually look better than up close. i would rate the condition of the body between a 6-7. it seems to be very solid,and complete.car was a daily driver up untill about 3 years ago.mileage shows 47,355,but, i am assuming it is probably 147,355. never got around to having a compression check done,but,as i said,to me,it seems it is a little weak,still will go even with it.also has new brakes all around,drums,shoes,and some new brakes lines were replaced. i have the rear-seat speaker cover in the trunk,just needs a good cleaning.there is all of the trim in the trunk,and the rocker panel piece for the drivers side. has a few small spots where it looked like someone was trying to learn bodywork. but they are small,and easily corrected.rear bumper is bent and chrome starting to pit. front bumpers,and corners are in good shape. no big dents,anywhere on the car i wish i had the time and the money to keep this car,but,between getting older,and. a.bad year health-wise, i need to let it go to someone who wants to restore a car like ths,has the time and money to fix it. i feel it is a very good car to start with. any questions,just contact me.thank-you for looking.

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.
Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The 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.
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?
