Hi. New Guy. Need some advice. I:m looking at 1975 Toronado. Great looking car. Nice all around inside and out. Only thing I,m concerned about is the millage. 110,000. Am I asking for trouble with that many on it? It runs good has good compression but I guess I,m asking is it nearing its life expectancy?
Any input would be great.

The engine will have lots of life left in it. It probably has never been north of 4000 rpm in its' life.


You will have front suspension maintenance to do for sure if they were not done by current owner. That can be costly.

Nowhere close. Only thing I'd look into would be the timing set unless there's evidence a timing chain job has already been done. Toronado timing chain job is not simple- the front motor mount has to come off meaning the engine either has to come out or be supported at the front to remove the mount and timing cover.
