1978 Toronado XS
Posted: Sun Apr 10, 2016 7:16 am
Hi Gang. I'm pretty new to the Toronado family only ever having owned a 1983 quite some time ago.
I ran across a 78 XS barn find (actually is sitting in a barn) with 38000 miles on it and reportedly, no rust. Pictures of it show it covered in dust. It is silver with red velour interior. Asking price is $2000 obo. I'm going to look at it today.
Any thoughts on this? I've done some research and found that there were only 2453 of these made in that year. What is the market on these? I can find very few for sale.
Any things I should look for in particular when I check it out? I'm concerned for engine and transmission seals from sitting for so long along with condition of all rubber.
Thanks in advance.
