Howdy all! Just registered after buying my "new" 1985 Toronado. I bought it from a guy in CA. Has 67K miles...runs awesome. Exterior needs painting (it's a very very dark gray) and a new simulated convertable top. I'm having that recovered next week. Interior is Claret leather...in very good shape. Love it!

This is my second Olds. My first was an '85 Cutlass Supreme 4dr. My dad inherited it from his aunt back in 1990 and I drove it most of the time. Had the wimpy 3.8L V6...but was still a nice car. It was my high school hot rod...haha.

Feel free to say hi. Nice to meet all of ya!

Welcome to the site Joe, after 5 posts you can move around and post in other forums. Tell us your plans for the new toy and it won't take long to reach 5 posts

 

Thanks! It's actually in very good shape aside from the outside which needs to be painted badly. The woman that bought it originally only used it in the winter in WI because it is front wheel drive so it does have some road salt damage. I'm getting the top replaced next week (vinyl simulated convertible) and I'll have it repainted in a few months.

Mechanically it's very sound. It just needs some normal stuff like a new radiator that is just starting to leak, valve cover gaskets, and tie rod and idler arm work. Otherwise she runs awesome.

I love the 307 V8...it's such a smooth engine.

 

Welcome Joeypete!

 

Welcome to the site. Its nice to see someone else from Tucson on here.

 

Hey thanks! Wow cool...glad I'm not the only one in AZ Cutlass eh? Sounds nice!

 

Joey, welcome to CO. I like the color of your Toro.

 

Thank you! It's the Dark Gray Firemist...though it really needs to be repainted. At first glance it almost looks brown, maybe because the finish is bad...the inside of the trunk looks very noticeably gray...lol.

 

Howdy Joey, nice to see another new Toro guy!

Welcome, althow I'm north of you, my car came from Tuscon. Enjoy you stay.

 

I live in this great city. Cold and wet today though. Don't know how the northerners do it. I lived in Portland Oregon nearly all my life and decided 12 years ago to see the sun!

 

also from tucson have been a member for a while.have 57 super 88 that has 60,000 orig miles and has been in storage for almost 40yrs. interior is orig. and in good condition no tears etc. one dent on drivers door occured as car was being loaded to be transported. A little light rust nothing bad. I'm installing a healthy 455 with a 700r4 and hope to be done some day will post photo's of project.
