UP FOR SALE IS AN EXCEPTIONALY NICE 1968 OLDS TORONADO. THIS CAR HAS BEEN REPAINTED IN ITS ORIGINAL COLOR, SILVER BEIGE METALLIC (W CODE - TORONADO AND RIVIERA ONLY COLOR). HAS A DARK GREEN INTERIOR ALSO IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO IMPERFECTIONS IN THE DASH. THE WOOD GRAINED PANELS LOOK LIKE NEW AND THERE ARE NO CRACKS IN THE STEERING WHEEL. ALL ITEMS ON THE CAR WORK AS THEY SHOULD. THIS INCLUDES THE HEADLIGHT DOORS, POWER WINDOWS, AM/FM WONDERBAR RADIO, FACTORY CLIMATRON AIR CONDITIONING AND POWER ANTENNA. THIS IS A RARE FRONT DISC BRAKE CAR AND SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR IT RECENTLY GOT A COMPLETE (OVER $4,000) SUSPENTION AND BRAKE OVERHAUL. AND I MEAN COMPLETE - TO INCLUDE: ALL NEW BRAKES, FRONT AND REAR INCLUDING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE OLD ROTORS WITH NOS 4 PISTON CALIPER ROTORS (VERY RARE, TRY TO FIND A SET), REBUILT CALIPERS, NEW FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS, BALL JOINTS AND CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS.

THIS CAR IS SELLING FOR WAY LESS THAN I HAVE INVESTED IN IT, BUT I HAVE 2 TORONADOS AND ONE HAS TO GO.

On Feb-18-11 at 12:22:50 PST, seller added the following information: I've just added 4 photos of the work done recently to the front suspension and brakes. I wanted to show the new rear brake drums, but there is only room for 1 more image and that will be the car with the wheels and tires it will sell with. You may notice wheel spacers on the front rotors. These were needed for the 8 inch wide tires that had been on the car. They are not neccessary with the stock wheels. Final photo coming soon.On Feb-19-11 at 08:33:23 PST, seller added the following information: FINAL PICTURE ADDED
