This is a beautiful, original 1964 Oldsmobile F 85 Cutlass Deluxe Sport Coupe. It is a true survivor that has several rare options, including the 330 cubic inch engine, factory air conditioning, power windows, and bucket seats. The car runs and drives out well, having just 127,000 original miles. It even has the original key with the logo on it!

Look at the pictures and you will see the car has been pampered, even the dash pad looks like new! You can see the owner kept a cover over the dash, which saved it from the elements. The interior and seats are just as nice, as you can see in the pictures.

The car is tastefully pinstriped, with the "Rock On" theme above the rear wheels, which matches the custom Idaho license plates. The owner's fIrst names are pinstriped on the doors, however with the original paint underneath, any enthusiast or detailer could easily remove them, and it would never show.

Only thing I found not working on the car was that the AC belt is removed, so the system will need to be converted from R-12, to make the AC work again. (That, and while holding the fuzzy dice back to photograph the dash, I broke the string to one of the dice!)

Note the factory air cleaner with the original decal of "Ultra High Compression". Things like that are only original once.

This is a rare find, an original rust free California car having had just three owners. It was sold new to a woman in San Jose, California, then owned briefly by another party. I am selling this car for my friend Danny, who has owned the car for the last 28 years. He and his wife loved and enjoyed the car, and it shows. They are downsizing and moving, so a few of their vehicles are for sale.

I've known Danny since I was a kid. To show you how he takes care of his stuff, one of the pictures shows his one owner, original, 1974 Chevrolet pickup in the background. That has even less miles, and will soon be for sale as well.

The Oldsmobile is located in Priest River, Idaho. You are encouraged to ask any questions, or make an offer on the car. If you would rather deal directly with Danny, I will send you his information. We will ship the car, with all costs to be paid for by the buyer. The car is being sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied.

A deposit of $200 is due within 24 hours of the sale ending. Once the remainder of the payment is made, we will assist in getting the car to downtown Priest River, so your shipper can easily load the car and go.

Please email or call with questions. I can be reached Pacific time at 503-551-8189.

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If 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 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.

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.
