1980 Oldsmobile Toronado Xsc Coupe 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Augusta, Maine, United States
|
NO RESERVE- Quick 3 day auction. I've bought another car so this must go. I've driven this car about 2,000 miles, it's from St Louis Missouri. The interior is in great shape except the drivers should be reupholstered.
It has a Maine Inspection Sticker and is currently registered and driven occasionally, the day of this listing, I plan a 200 mile trip in the car. It has a very small gas leak that we've not been able to detect, but doesn't appear to be near the engine. Tires are good. I had brake work done and a new battery installed. This car is a 10 footer, it looks good 10 to 20 feet away. There is rust in the rear quarters that's been repaired but not done professionally. This was on the cover of Toronado Club "Front Driver" magazine in January. The door locks and seats work fine but the power front seat doesn't on the drivers side. I must move this quickly, I love the car but it's time to move on. It hauls ass....sort of speak...but, it's rattlely and makes noises in the doors and windows. But overally, a neat car. there's a few spots of surface rust, but no floor rust or rocker panel rust. You can store the car here 4 months but then it's 75 dollars a month There is no title with this car but it will come with a Maine Title letter from the DMW which is accepted by All 50 States to get a new title. Maine doesn't issue titles on cars this old. Good luck, it's again no reserve. On Apr-07-14 at 13:34:02 PDT, seller added the following information: I just took this car for a 200 mile ride and really forgot how much I love this car. First, I mentioned rattles and noises. Those noises are really more related to hitting pot holes and having noises a traditionally old car would make. Particularly when slamming the door. But as far as normal highway driving on a good paved road, the car is very very quiet. I had forgotten that. I will upload if possible some youtube.com video I took today while driving the car. It corners and handles fantastically, and the 5.7 litre V8 with front drive makes it very easy to burn out if you wanted too. (or even accidentally). On Apr-07-14 at 16:32:41 PDT, seller added the following information: All Exterior Lighting works including the front fender Side Cornering Lamps. This is a youtube upload today of the car being driven on Interstate 95. I has the 85 miles per hour limited speedometer which is basically useless since you really don't know how fast your going. I got it up to 75 according to the speedo. On Apr-08-14 at 02:33:15 PDT, seller added the following information: Here is another Youtube video, but this is the car driving at a slower speed, 45 miles per hour. |

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.
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.
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?
