1978 Toronado XS

I have been sitting on this or a while now, it's time to get her out and running and keep or sell. Just shy of 100k miles, been safe here since 1994. Might be pretty cool to take to car shows but then I would have to let something go. I want to get down to 8 classics.

People could probably assess it's condition far easier if you gave it a bath before taking pictures. The interior looks beautiful, I wish they made cars that plush today.

Such a beautiful Olds! All she needs is a little TLC.

If I sell her that's what I will be doing, cleaned up, fog engine, drain the gas etc. I am more likely to sell the other one which has some minor rust.

That one looks pretty straight too. Plus it has a fuel economy gauge!

Jesse, I am not sure economy should be used in the same sentence or in reference to these cars. Neat catch. I wonder if Jaunty is going to respond or if he has gone back on sabbatical. He knows probably all there is to know about these cars.

Thanks, I know basically nothing about these cars, I had the opportunity to buy these and this 1971 Olds Delta 88 with a posi and 455 so I bought them. It's better to buy now and decide later what to do with them.

This was her as she sat when I bought her, from the same collection. I intended to use it to tow my other cars to car show but decided to sell and put a hitch on the 89 Town Car Signature.

The Delta would probably be a better tow car than the Lincoln.

no doubt but then I would rather show the Lincoln so The Delta 88 it has to go. Won't be long distances so it will be fine.
