For Sale: 1992 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser 5.7L V8 145,600 miles

The cleanest completely stock long roof in the country: probably yes.

Park this car next to any Ferrari out there and see who gets the first smile. If smiles per miles is your game, you will win every time. If you are looking for great gas mileage, well, this has that, too. On my inaugural road trip in this car I drove from Middlesex, VA to Dallas, TX, and maxed at 25mpg. I've never gotten less than 17mpg in the city. Zero problems. It sounds great, has no problem getting up to speed, and it only brings the right kind of attention.

I found this car at a dealership in North Carolina and I had a great experience with the guys there. They supplied me with a CarFax (which I will supply for you) and replaced the battery at no cost just because the month/year indicator was missing. I replaced the rear brake shoes and idler arm before having it inspected. It passed with flying colors.

This Custom Cruiser was a 1-Owner car for 137,000 miles. Rumor has it that the original owner used the car solely as a Harley Davidson event cruiser/road tripper. I left the Harley Davidson sticker attached mainly for posterity, and because I really appreciate that the first owner owned and maintained the car in such a meticulous way. It's not easy to keep the shopping carts at bay, for the first year let alone the next twenty.

I bought the Custom Cruiser solely for the purpose of hauling my stuff from Virginia to Texas. With 8x4 feet of flat storage, and similar old soul virtues, I quickly fell for the car and had no plans to sell it until I landed a great new job. With a company car in tow, and plans for a bike build in the near future, I would like to find a happy new owner for *Patty* before the summer gets underway. If you're looking for a Custom Cruiser, or even a Buick Roadmaster or Chevrolet Caprice wagon, you've already found the right car. It's just a great car with serious charisma.

Cool Things:

front window washers not spraying

**dent in bottom left corner of tailgate (cannot be fixed without cut and spray, currently resides under American flag)

I can also provide a copy of the title with any pertinent information, as well as the CarFax and any additional photos upon request. I'm motivated to sell so please make your best offer and I will try to respond in a timely fashion.

Shipping and other requests will be considered on a case by case basis. The car is currently located in Dallas, Texas.

Thank you all for looking.

Jeremy

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General 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 2014

The 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.

Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

Ever 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.
