I bid up to $6500 on this VERY Beautiful 1969 Toronado on Ebay, but can't afford more. This one is LOVELY!

That was not the correct link.

This is the correct link:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Oldsmobile-Toro ... ars_Trucks


That is a really good looking car. The white and blue look great together.

It's ok. The upholstery isn't stock original. Someone put a vinyl top on the roof that is not correct. Not a bad car though all in all.

Oops. Thanks for fixing my link. Yes, I too think that lovely shade of blue along with the sparkling white is gorgeous! And all the chrome and stainless looks excellent too.

A few people with more money than I have are "tooth and nail" after this beauty. With about 3 hours left in the EBay bidding, the bid has topped $13,400.

Pretty amazing. This car has all sorts of little incorrect details, but it's a good looking car. Toros seem to finally getting a move towards the correct valuation.

Doc your being kind, this things got's lot's of not so little incorrect thinks especially at that price ... I think it had some help too. That is not typically what 69's go for unless maybe w34.

I wonder how much of that "move" might be due to the whole Muscle Car phenomenon that's been happening for the past few years. And how much might be due to the interest of folks like me that are not "original restoration perfection" interested people that have an interest in modernizing SOME things about their car/s while keeping mostly to original exterior restorations. There's a LOT of people out there, many with far more money that I, that are lovers of Restomod cars and several seem to be becoming more and more interested in Restomod LUXURY cars!

If only I could AFFORD to do what I WANT to do with my Regan....
Who knows if I will live long enough to EVER get her done the way I want her to be.

BTW, I'm still giving SERIOUS thought to rebuilding the whole roof by replacing SMALL metal sections where it's mandatory and blasting all the rust off of the rest, then coating the Whole roof with epoxy resin and laying on black Carbon Fiber mesh, then spraying clear epoxy on top. I'm seeing things used on garage FLOORS lately that MIGHT be good for this application!

Well, well. it seems the person that bid $13,444 on this Gorgeous car has BAILED OUT and it's been relisted. I have once more bid $6500 on it, but I don't believe mine will win the bidding.
