Oldsmobile’s take on the Personal Luxury Car, the Toronado came to be in 1965. It stuck around until 1992, across four generations, and was perhaps best known for its quirky front-wheel drive layout. Yes, how many V8-powered luxury barges can you think of that drive their front wheels? Today, we’ve got one of those front-driven beasts, a second-generation 1977 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham from Middle River, Maryland. This car has traveled just 16,271 miles so far and represents a fine choice for a discerning collector who wants a Seventies classic that perfectly embodies the spirit of size and luxury excess at the time.
Exterior and Interior
Firethorn Red Metallic is the official paint code worn by this 1977 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham, all 220 inches of it! Yes, this is a large car, as it’s not just long, but a whisker under 80 inches in width too. Its front has got to be the most imposing part, with quad headlamps, chrome bumpers and a prominent grille taking pride of place. Meanwhile, the rear sports a more slanted outlook while the rear part of the roof comes in white for a pseudo-convertible look, as was popular back then. White-striped tires with silver hubcaps are present as well. On to the interior, and it’s also in red. You’ve got four plush red velour seats that look positively inviting! Once you’re settled in, there’s a custom steering wheel cover, a tilt steering column and woodgrain interior accents. Tech features include power windows, power door locks, air conditioning and an AM/FM radio. Cruise control, a rear window defogger and a power antenna are present too. In the trunk, you’ll find a full-sized spare wheel and ample cargo space for that cross-country trip you’ve been dreaming of taking.
Engine
This 1977 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham packs a 403ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor. The engine powers the front axle via a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic 425 automatic gearbox. Despite the car’s size and bulk, the engine’s reported 175 horsepower and 325lb-ft of torque are enough to make it move smartly. You won’t be annoying anyone else in this car; on the contrary, they’ll slow down and admire it.

Oldsmobile introduced the Toronado in 1965 as their personal luxury car contender. What made the Toronado most distinctive was not its styling or land yacht proportions, but the fact that it was front-wheel drive! Yes, this was probably one of a handful of V8 front-wheel drive cars around at the time. What a curious decision by General Motors, and you can discover their curio right here with this 20,197-mile 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham that we’ve got for sale. Currently relaxing in Grand Prairie, Texas, this all-original restored car awaits a new owner, which might very well be you, dear reader!
This 1955 Oldsmobile 88 Restomod is the kind of build that takes everything people love about a big mid-century American cruiser and gives it the hardware to be enjoyed with a lot less compromise. Showing approximately 12,640 miles, it pairs unmistakable 1950s Oldsmobile styling with a custom blue and white two-tone paint job, a reupholstered white and blue interior, and a strong list of drivability upgrades. The 350ci V8 crate engine, 700R4 4-speed automatic, power steering, power front disc brakes, and Vintage Air make this far more than a stock-style restoration. It is a proper restomod with classic looks and a much more usable road-going setup.
The 1967 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible captures the muscle-car formula in one of its most desirable forms, pairing big-block Oldsmobile power with open-air cruising and a proper 4-speed manual transmission. Showing 36,423 miles, this example is finished in White over a Black interior with a Black convertible soft top and carries the signature 442 performance identity that made these cars such serious contenders during the muscle-car era. The combination of its 400ci Rocket V8, manual gearbox, Super Stock I wheels, bucket-seat interior, and 442 badging gives this convertible the right mix of performance hardware and period style.
This 1937 Oldsmobile Series F Hot Rod blends prewar styling with the unmistakable attitude of a blown big-block street machine. Showing just 797 miles, it is powered by a 454ci supercharged V8 topped with a 6-71 Roots-type supercharger and backed by a 700R4 4-speed automatic. A 1968 Pontiac Firebird front end, power steering, aluminum cylinder heads, stainless steel headers, and an aluminum radiator give the car serious mechanical substance, while the custom burgundy paint job and reupholstered gray interior bring a more finished, show-oriented side to the build.
The C3 Corvette is one of the most recognizable shapes in American performance history, and the later L82 cars added a stronger performance edge to the dramatic “shark” styling. This 1979 Chevrolet Corvette L82 Coupe shows just 11,856 miles and is finished in Black over a reupholstered Red leather interior. Its enthusiast appeal comes from the 350ci L82 V8, 4-speed manual transmission, removable T-top roof panels, full auxiliary gauge package, and classic rear-wheel-drive layout. With its low indicated mileage, manual gearbox, and reupholstered cabin, this Corvette offers the kind of analog V8 driving experience that defines the C3 generation.
This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Restomod takes the unmistakable shape of a first-generation Camaro and pushes it deep into pro-touring territory with big-block power, a modernized chassis, and a highly customized presentation. Showing just 2,637 miles, this build combines a 502ci V8 roller motor, Richmond 6-speed manual transmission, full frame, four-link coilover suspension, narrowed 9-inch rear end, mini-tubbed rear, and Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes. Just as striking as the hardware is the custom paintwork, which pairs a vivid orange body with a black upper section and flowing flame graphics along the rear quarters. It is a bold, enthusiast-focused build that blends classic Camaro proportions with modern performance and show-car detailing.
Few Mercedes-Benz roadsters carry the same old-school grand-touring presence as the R107 560 SL. This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL shows 118,121 miles and pairs its 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 with a classic Smoke Silver Metallic exterior, Brazil Brown leather interior, and Dark Brown convertible soft top. A body-color removable hardtop adds another layer of versatility, while period equipment including 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels, burl wood trim, a Becker Grand Prix cassette stereo, automatic climate control, and cruise control captures the character of Mercedes-Benz luxury from the era. It is a specification that combines V8 power, open-air motoring, and unmistakably traditional Mercedes styling.
