Not much Toronado-ish about it, in the traditional sense. But, still interesting. The EFI really does tidy up the already cramped engine compartment. Given the limited demand for those, it'll be interesting to see how the sale goes, if it even happens, at that price
That is a beautiful car as it sits, but, yes, all that you say is true. By the time of the last generation of the Toronado, they had lost all their panache. By then, lots of cars were front-drive, so that distinction, which was always the Toronado's main selling point, was gone. By the mid- and late '80s, the world was full of small, sporty coupes. I do like that, after two generations as essentially behemoths, the last generation came back more to the original in terms of the Toro being a personal sporty coupe instead of a living-room-on-wheels land barge. The price is high, which is not surprising given who the seller is, but it's not out of this world. Someone who loves these last generation models might buy it. The strong selling point is the very low mileage. There's a lot of life left in this car.
Since the hump was already there (the real Toronados didn't need them, since they all had full frames), they might as well have offered them equipped with console shifts. After all, the real Toronados started off being Muscle Cars:
