i just found this toronado. i do not know values of these cars. i can pick it up for $1200 but have to much money out in other parts cars right now. it runs and drives good. what do you guys think? should i get it. i would only play with it for a while and resell it and try to make a dollar. i don't know if i would be able to make a dollar but sure would be fun for a while.

 

just talked him down on the phone to $900. he said it does have alot of rust in the trunk. he also said it drives and shifts great. and all the power options work.

 

You could buy it for $900 and clean up the trunk and coat it with rust converter. Then sand and primer the body and spray it if you have the time of the extra cash. Then you could easily sell if for $3000.

 

Buy it.

If it was a 67-69 I'd say go for it.
That 71 is hideous though .

 

NO WAY!

I love that car man. It is one of the early 70s barges.

 

i thought about that last night. i thought i could try to paint it for the experience.

 

would these heads have big valves in 71?

 

I still miss the old family '73 Toro, sweet ride, but it wanted premium, so it got traded.

 

what head, what engine...?

 

I bet it has G heads. My 71 98 had a 455 with G heads.

 

G heads in the toro should have the large valves.

 

it did have G heads but i did not buy it. it ran and drove great but it was just to rough. he came down to $850. i think it is still available if anyone wants it. PM me and i can see if i can find his number.

 

I found one of those for a bud about 15 years ago. His was red on black. Me rikey them cars.

 

Oh well, there are plenty of other Oldsmobiles in the world. Hopefully it goes to a good home.

 

i think it will find it's way to a derby if someone don't get it soon.
