According to the April 1968 issue of Car And Driver, the Oldsmobile Toronado “should be the last word in the neighborhood one-upmanship contest.” The Oldsmobile Toronado Coupe was a full-size personal luxury car designed to rival similar offerings from Buick, with its Riviera, and Ford, with its Thunderbird. Introduced for the 1966 model year, the Toronado featured a massive departure from American cars of the era: it was front-wheel drive! Although commonplace today, the front-engine front-wheel drive configuration was still relatively novel in the ’60s. At the time, virtually every American offering was rear-wheel drive, with only foreign economy cars, such as the BMC Mini and Renault 16, featuring a front-wheel drive configuration. Nevertheless, Oldsmobile had been working on the concept for some years, and the Toronado featured the layout. The impressive looks and interesting drivetrain layout make our featured 1970 Oldsmobile Toronado Coupe a valuable addition to any car collection. It is reported to have undergone recent maintenance and sports many original parts.
Featuring a two-door body shell and classic American muscle car-inspired lines, the Oldsmobile Toronado Coupe is a sight to behold. The front end is dominated by quad headlamps and a prominent and pointed grille. The earlier Toronados featured hidden headlights, which were eliminated for the 1970 model year. Also new were larger, more squared-off wheel arches and revised rear quarter panels. The current owner reports this car has been given a new paint job in its original silver color. The interior of the 1970 Oldsmobile Toronado Coupe heavily emphasizes luxury. Steering inputs are made via a three-spoke wheel, while the car sports a new instrument cluster on the dashboard, which includes AutoMeter gauges for RPM, water temperature, oil pressure, and charging voltage. The center console features a period Oldmobile-branded FM radio, with knobs for volume and fader adjustment, while an aftermarket audio player is also reported.
Under the hood, you’ll find a 455ci (7.5-liter) Rocket V8 engine, which was rated when new to output 375 hp with 510 lb-ft of torque. The engine sends its power to the front wheels via a three-speed automatic Turbo-Hydramatic 425 transmission. The current owner reports a recent oil change, along with a new set of tires and new brakes.

Oldsmobile is one of those great American auto brands that has slowly faded away and gone into the history books. It joins a long list of great names, such as Pontiac, Mercury, Hudson and many more. Over 35 million Oldsmobile vehicles were produced over a 107-year existence. One of their well-known nameplates was the Toronado, a personal luxury car. Four generations were made, between 1966 and 1992. This 1977 Oldsmobile Toronado is a second-generation car that’s reported to be mostly original. It comes to you with its original paint, and we’re told that documentation is available. Hence, it’s an ideal car to experience a slice of opulent Seventies land yacht-style motoring.

The Oldsmobile Toronado, introduced in 1966, was part of the Oldsmobile division of General Motors (GM). Oldsmobile has a rich history dating back to 1897 when Ransom Eli Olds founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Company in Lansing, Michigan. The first-generation Toronado garnered widespread acclaim and earned the prestigious Motor Trend Car of the Year award in 1966. Subsequent generations saw advancements in engine technology, safety features, and interior amenities. What we are featuring here belongs to the second generation, which received heavily revised styling that turned a "GT"-style car into a classic luxury car. Being tastefully restored by its current owner, this 1977 Oldsmobile Toronado shows 38,000 miles on its clock and is ready to make an impression in your driveway.

The 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is a timeless classic that will forever dazzle this world with its legendary design and rich history. The success of this first generation Mustang is also the reason why the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird and Dodge Challenger were brought to life; these were truly the golden days of the Ford Mustang, asserting itself as the main player in the new “pony” car market. With only a total of 72,119 convertible units produced in 1966, it makes this model quite rare compared to the coupe and fastback models. The iconic pony's interior makes this particular example even more rare, with embossed running horses on the seatbacks, a five-gauge instrument cluster, and deluxe door panels with wood-grain accents. Clocking a total of just 33,000 miles on the odometer, this 1966 Ford Mustang is the perfect machine to cruise around with the convertible top down.
Ford’s epic Mustang was one of the headline cars of the Sixties. Debuting in 1964, it created the pony car segment and can be considered responsible for many automotive icons that followed in its wake. That’s why owning a first generation Mustang is a bucket list item for countless American enthusiasts. If you’re one of those, we’ve got a 1972 Ford Mustang up for sale right now. Packing a relatively light 61,000 miles on the odometer, this car is said to have been fully restored. Hence, it’s basically a turn-key classic that you can enjoy from the very start of your ownership journey.
The first Generation Chevrolet Camaro was nothing short of iconic. Fast-forward to today, and you have multiple iterations of an iconic muscle car. Some choose a full-on custom build to stand out, while others prefer the old-fashioned way. Present today is the latter, which takes the form of this lovely 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. This factory-clean example has been lovingly used and preserved. The current owner reports that the car comes with receipts from 1984 detailing its journey.
