Oldsmobile Toronado Base (1968)
for sale
Price: US $7,250.00
Price: US $7,250.00
Here is a nice driver or a good candidate for restoration. It runs and drives, has telescopic-tilt steering, power seats, Comfortron, cruise control. The hideaway headlights work well on the original vacuum canister. The (almost) classic Olds 455cid/375hp/4bbl pulls very strong and smooth, and the FWD transmission shifts great. There are no leaks, it has new vinyl roof, brakes, shocks, battery, window mouldings, trunk seal. Glass is very good, the body is extremely solid and straight.
To bring it to the next level would require front seat re-upholstery, arm rests, signal cancellation cam, horn fix and typical inside repairs. It shows well in the photos, but it certainly needs new Cinnamon Bronze Metallic paint - in my opinion the best colour for 1968. -:) Everything is there except the AC compressor - this is common to other GM cars so it can be found, also needs a jack foot and the wheel-well chrome pieces.
This car is easily in 'fair' condition car on Hagerty's Valuation tool which gives it a value of $8, 300. Please see here Older Toros are getting attention now due to Front Wheel Drive technology and amazing design cues, which were both ahead of their time. I am discounting due to AC Compressor (about $400 US) and because I need time and space for another project. I bought this car in Montana in March 2017 and have title. Please let me know if you want specific photos or a video of it running. Thanks for reading this.
