455GreenMachine's 1973 Oldsmobile Toronado455GreenMachine's 1973 Oldsmobile Toronado455GreenMachine's 1973 Oldsmobile Toronado455GreenMachine's 1973 Oldsmobile Toronado When I purchased this fine classic, from the original owners estate,I had it checked from top to bottom. It needed a front end alignment, wheels balanced and front shocks. The tires, brakes and battery were already replaced. I had all of the fluids replaced just for good measure. Oh , and get this, it's all power and everything works except the clock, and I plan on getting that repaired. The A/C even blows Ice Cold with the original R-12 refrigerant. Isn't that incredible. The interior is absolutely immaculate, like showroom condition. I was told that the car was never driven during winter months, and being from Northeast Ohio, that's rare. But the condition of the car speaks for itself. It has been stored for the last 20 years, and has no fluid leaks at all. The valve cover gaskets were replaced by original owner. The only cosmetic issues are the rear bumper filler, which has some small end pieces missing and some spider cracks, but I already started restoration on that small project. Also, it has light oxidation with some etching,(water spots), which I plan to machine buff with some good polishing compound. The vinyl top is like new, AND also original. It looks, runs and drives like a new car.
