NOTE FROM YORCHIE:



Listing this Toronado for a friend. This car is the last of his cars that he has sold off slowly over the last few years. He bought the Toronado from the estate of the deceased first owner's family. According to the title the first owner drove the car 50,901 miles and the title was transferred to granddaughterJuly 2013. She sold to current owner September 2017 and the car had approximately 62,000 miles. The current owner never registered the title/car and drove the car with unknown license platesbecause this is Montana where 79 year old guy driving "grandpa" car doesn't get hassled! The two things I look at on "low mileage" cars is the gas and brake pedals and they have hardly any wear and the dash is intact and not sun damaged or cracked. I had limited time to take photos so I also included photos from when Bill bought the Toronado showing the exterior color in sunshine.


I go all out on my listings. I have been selling since 1999 and please check my feedback. I list all vehicles imagining that I was a potential bidder. I want to give as much information as possible. That's why I have lots of photos but more importantly I have multiple videos showing the condition. I always list any "issues" so that a potential bidder always knows as much as possible.


NOTE FROM BILL THE OWNER:



Bought the 1984 Olds Toronado from a local Montana family. I knew the car had always been stored indoors and not driven in the winter to often and those are the cars that appeal to me. Montana does not use salt on roads and this Toronado is very clean.


At the time I had multiple older cars and only drove the Olds occasionally so I never worried about registering the car. I have receipts for car maintenance from 1994-2016. The granddaughter had a long time local Cadillacmechanic do over $1300 in work and the car is in excellent mechanical condition. Her grandmother had the Toronado serviced at a dedicated Oldsmobile dealer in Great Falls and had an excellent mechanic in Fairfield, MT when the Olds dealer closed. Her mechanic actually did a compression test at one time and wrote all the numbers on the valve cover. Yorchie included this in the video he did of the engine compartment. The only issue I have with the car is that the driver side power seat does not move. The motor engages but thereisonly a "clunk" when the the seat is supposed to move. I have another power seat motor set-up but I figure the next owner can address that issue. That's the fun of owning a 36 year old American car. I have just had to maintain the car and there have not been any mechanical issues in my ownership. I'm 79 and a retired Marine and this is the last of my cars that I am letting go. I can store the car until an economical shipping time can be arranged as long as final payment is made. It's ready to go and I would not have any issues driving the Toronado cross-country.


EXTRA INFORMATION NOTE:



Bill bought a 1984 Toronado with sun roof as a parts car. No transmission. Engine out of car and is supposed to be "rebuilt" but not verified. Complete Roller with title. The parts car will be available at a very good price to the winner of this auction if desired.
