Well I found this today and a deal was struck to come home with me. 1971 98 bought from original owner's nephew. Very nice rust free driver.

To quote a certain rock and roll legend, "Ain't that what living is really all about?"

Very nice.

Awwww yeah. You just need a giant purple fedora hat and a cane and you'll be set.
Pimp'n Style!

That is way cool.

WOW! I had a 71 in the late 70s. Just looking at yours put a lump in my throat. I had a sedan. When people got in the back seat and saw there was a clock there, they knew they were riding in style. Man, did I love that car. Most young people nowadays will never know what power steering and power brakes are (I mean real power steering and real power brakes). Please post more pics!

Wow ! It looks beautiful in the muted light. Such style, such lines, such class. I love it. I second the " post more pics" comment. Congrats and good luck.

Thanks guys. I'm gonna spend a little time on it this weekend on some details then I will get pics. I took a chance on this one because I don't know the big car market real well but this one was so clean and 98% rust free I went for it. I hope to flip it and make a few bucks back toward my doc bills.

Very nice car.

Nice find Richard. Looks to be in beautiful shape.

Looks like I need to come visit and see this in person! VERY nice looking!
What engine does it have? Mileage?
Looks like it will not need much. Maybe a good cleanup, fluid change, and other PM stuff.
More pics!!!

Very nice! My wife has commented on how my 88 is more comfortable than our couch. I've mentioned I'd be willing to try to find an Olds bench seat at the salvage yard to put in the living room...

Man, wouldn't that be a great ride on a Route 66 trip. Rock and Roll band in the back seat

Need a captain's license for that one.

gearheads78

yea I don't have time to take on anything major. It needs minor cleanup and a tune up and it will be ready to sell. Has 169K he thinks his uncle rebuilt the 455 but not sure when. Other than a little roughnes at idle it runs great.

Great find Richard X2 on more pics especially of the interior and dash and well heck we just want a closer look at that fine machine

Back in college I commuted for a semester in a '71 Toronado (this was in the mid 1990's) - what a great "couch" that was - seasick sometimes though! Car got stolen and the worst part was the loss of the 8 tracks I had amassed at flea markets to use in the car!

Richard, you should holler at me if you plan to do anything with the 98 this weekend - I really want to see this!

henryk8398

Wow! I'd drive that cross country anytime! Great find!

DreWRoolZ

beautiful car, man, nice find!

Lady72nRob71

After Richard is done fixing it up, I bet a buyer would be able to make a cross country trip in it to get it home!

gearheads78

It would do that now. I drove it 45 miles home last night.

I'll be around this weekend if you want to see it. Give me a shout.

Nice car.

One of my friends said the same thing while riding in my Delta. "Like driving on a couch".

Good luck with the car.

I would love that car and I need one. But I don't think it is fuel efficient model my wife wants. Hmmmm 200r4 and maybe a 2.14 rear to boost milage. Bet it would cruise all day 100+. Just take it a little while to get up there.
