    Very nice looking car. I'm envious. This one's from the era when they came with the 455.

    Wow, that's getting down low enough that I might have to go buy it. :)

    Since it isn't Autumn, there shouldn't be so many leaves on the ground. I wonder how old those images are

    I'd say last fall given this ad first appeared in March.

    In a couple of months, it'll be a year since he made moves to sell it. Either he'll have to give up some price or end up keeping it

    Except for the unfortunate situation with the armrest, it really is a very nice car. At less than $4K, it's for sale at a very good price. The fact that it's not selling is, I think, a telling statistic as far as the desirability and collectibility of these cars. It's low. These cars do have a following. There are both a Toronado chapter of the Olds Club of America and a separate, independent club call the Toronado Owner's Association, but, as you might expect, the heaviest influence in these clubs (I'm a member of both) is the first generation models, '66 to '70. After that, interest tapers with, I think, the third generation being more popular than the second because the second really is the era of the land yacht version of these. He says in the ad that the NADA value is "$9,000+." Yeah, right. The Old Cars Price Guide values this car in this condition at about half that, which I think is fair.
