Amanda, Ohio, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Oldsmobile
Drive Type: RWD
Model: Cutlass
Mileage: 100,000
Trim: Base
Up for auction is a 1964 F85 Cutlass Convertible and parts car. I am selling this for my brother-in-law (owner).
This Cutlass convertible was purchased brand new from the dealer by the aunt of the current owner. The car was given to the current owner as a graduation gift. The engine and transmission were changed several years later to a 350 CID Rocket Oldsmobile engine and 350 Turbo transmission.
Several years later after children, marriage, etc., car developed mechanical problem and parked to be replaced by another daily driver. It stayed in a garage until the room was needed and ended up outside where it currently resides. The car has current title from Ohio.
Here are points about the car:
The car will need a lot of work but is a good start to a restoration
Car is pretty much in original condition with all trim, lights, interior parts, etc.
Could possibly need floor work / trunk work as car has been sitting outside.
Rust issues (see pics) – not completely rusted out but has some parts that need attention
Interior is all there but weathered. Dash is in pretty good shape. Interior includes bucket seats, center console and factory tach
Mechanical issues are unknown but most parts are there
Convertible comes with a parts car also seen in pix which is a 1964 F85 Cutlass sedan. Parts car comes with the original high output 330 CID and 2-speed power glide (original engine and transmission for convertible).
The parts car has a WV title
These cars sell as a package to hopefully restore the convertible. The convertible is too good to scrap and the owner does not have the time or desire to part it out.
The car can be viewed in person upon request or additional pix can be taken.
Cars sold AS-IS. Buyer responsible for pick-up.
I will forward all questions to the owner (my brother-in-law) to get you the best info possible. If you are very serious, we can arrange a phone call as well.

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.
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.
