New to me '70 Toronado, pretty complete & runs.
I've been eyeballing this car at a local yard for about 2 years now & finally broke down & bought it.
I was told it runs but has some top end noise. I would guess it is worn out rocker trunions, but don't know for sure yet. I'll try to get it running in the next day or thirty.![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
It seems to be a pretty solid car, I'm tempted to get it running & just drive it as is, but reality says otherwise.
I'm thinking ebay to see if anyone is willing to save it before I part it out. I hate to kill such a cool car.

Like that! Way to nice to part if the rust has not got into all the window surrounds.
I have forgotten the production numbers, but I think these were one of the lowest of the series one cars.

I did a quick look at the A pillars & they seem to be ok, but I haven't dug deeper yet. I did notice some serious rust/holes in the frame, just ahead of the driver rear tire. It is not as bad on the passenger side, but it is "holey" also. The floor pans definitely have issues under the front seat. I'll check the A pillars & window channels better & may part it after all if it's bad. ![Frown](https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
