It's the third time I've seen this on Ebay, although it is a different seller this time. First time it was up with a £2k buy it now and I was tempted to go have a look myself as it looks quite tidy. Then it came up again at £1500 Wasn't that a beige one, like a '74?

The problem I have is 2 of my cars are elsewhere and I look out over the seemingly empty drive and the urge rises. Its T&T... It would be a good "winter car" what with FWD erm My "justification" is that if I buy it cheap I can maybe flip it on for a profit after tidying it up a bit... This argument falls apart a little when you consider the market for big block FWD 70s coupes is probably, erm, me. See you're just thinking ahead, everyone else considers it to be spring then summer coming up and is selling their winter cars so they will be cheaper. Genius. ;D

Wasn't that a beige one, like a '74? No, it was that exact pale blue one. S reg, no hubcaps. It was back in November it sold and the seller was called something like daz4cars I think.

...I just found it in the sellers feedback... same day they bought this Toronado they also bought "500g ORGANIC RUST REMOVER MAKES 50 LITRES"
I wonder if the two purchases were related, lol!

Take out Credit Card.
Immediately spend a sum equal to the price of this Tornado on shiny new bits for the often and loudly aforementioned Fury.
Sit back and feel good - Money spent - Fury that bit closer.
You buy this and you know the opposite will occur.

My brain can't compute that it's FWD.
You still need it though.

My brain can't compute that it's FWD. Glad am not the only one! just seems vaguely wrong, and not in a good way (to me) that something that large & obvious american can be FWD
Personally I'd say fix the fury, as the fury is just more Right
And prettier

It's the obvious complete wrongness of big block v8 FWD which appeals. Especially as all "sporting" pretensions of the original concept were gone by the late 60s revamps anyway.

I've reconsidered. You can buy an Olds Toronado but only if it is this one.] More info on that one, is it 4wd?!

It's a 1966 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442. It has a supercharged 425 and transaxle at each end. unlike most twin engine cars it has complete sets of controls for the 2 engine

Might have something even more interesting cropped up, although that might be a total shitter. Mind you so could that Olds.
