Nobody like my green car? Man you guys are a tough crowd. I don't think anyone who sees my car doesn't like the colour.
Yes and last year of the fins. These pics really don't do it justice. Young or old man or woman there's not to many who don't like this car.
If it were in sunlight, I could see the green better. Was the shade a custom mix, or is there an off-the-shelf name for that color?
Back again. (Read the story - intentionally over priced so he can tell the wife, "I tried to sell it.") https://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/cto/d/1970-oldsmobile-toronado-455/6424296178.html
"$14,000.00 or best reasonable offer. Please check the NADA values before trying to low ball me on price. I've already priced it below average retail value. Just trying to keep peace in the family over the holiday season." I'm gonna guess there's not going to be any peace in the family over the holiday season.
I'm intentionally not buying it, so that it doesen't get boring for him, over the holidays. I hope the wife's skilled with the rolling pin. It's high time poorly-made toupets start flying again, in Craiglistland
That's Sherwood green I believe? The neighbor lady across the street from us had a 442 in the same shade. Factory color.
Yet another one. Carbon copy. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Oldsmobile-Toronado-GT-/322933792372?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368
This one's more interesting, because of the following claim: If there really was such an option, could it be traced through this given VIN?:
Well I had to look that up, according to Hemmings the Toronado GT did have a different engine than the regular production Toronado's Hemmings had this to say about the 1970 GT engines so the seller may know what he is talking about on this one. In a nutshell, the GT is a W-34 optioned Toronado, again without the air induction system of 1968, yet the exhaust bumper cut-outs had returned. Available on the base and Custom-trimmed models, the W-34 package was now in its third season as a regular production option; however, for all intents and purposes it is technically a one-year-only performer by model name alone. In a sense, it could be considered a corporate competitor to the Riviera GS, yet it was never officially touted as such. ENGINES As mentioned, the GT/W-34 package automatically upgraded the standard 4.125 x 4.250-inch bore and stroke, 10.25:1 compression 455-cu.in. engine with performance equipment that boosted output from 375hp @ 4,600 RPM to 400hp @ 4,800 RPM (torque officially slipped from 510-lb ft to 500-lb ft). Although the outside air induction system had been abandoned after 1968, the increase was achieved simply by utilizing larger 2.072-inch intake valves (versus standard 2.00-inch valves) in conjunction with a performance camshaft featuring a higher .0472-inch lift on both the intake and exhaust. It should also be noted that every Toronado uses a low-profile intake manifold in order to provide enough clearance beneath the hood for the single-snorkel air cleaner assembly. Look for engine block code "F" followed by the casting number on the top of the timing chain area and an "E" casting on the lower corner of the cylinder head; if original paperwork is available, look for the W-34 code
I would go for that GT. It's a pretty cool car but I'm not a big fan of the rims. They might grow on me for the right price lol
Clearly this was a super popular Toronado color combo for 1970. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Oldsmobile-Toronado-/222842250837?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368
