    This one's a beauty, and the asking price reflects it. $29,000, which I think is a bit of a stretch, even for a car this low a mileage, but you never know. If the 23,000-mile '78 Toro Brougham (not an XS) sold for just over $20k at the Mecum Orlando auction last week, maybe this one, which IS an XS and which apparently has so few miles (7600) you can barely see them, can fetch nearly $30k.

    One issue is that he's got only four photos. Pull the thing out of the garage out of the garage and into the sun and get some more photos of it! Another issue is that it's a rather uninspired color scheme. Bland beige exterior with a bland tan interior. But we can't be choosers about such things!

    It's funny that, even for a car driven as little as this one apparently has been, the little clip that holds the shoulder belt to the headrest has come off. You can see it on the belt down by the retractor, and you can see where it should be attached on the far outboard end of the top of the headrest. Those have come loose on both of my Toros. Not a good design, obviously, or at least not one meant to last 40 years!
