1970 Oldsmobile Toronado Reef Turquoise Metallic

Description for Oldsmobile Toronado 1970

First American Production Front Wheel Car.This is a 1970 Oldsmobile Toronado. I amthesecondowner and have had it since the early 1990's. The car's body was completely restored in the late 1990's with many replaced body parts. There was no body filler used on the restoration. The paint was several coats of lacquer and 2 clear coats using the originalReef Turquoise Metallic paint. The black interior is all original including the floor mats. The car has the original Toronado am/fm radio - something very rare in 1970! It also has thedeluxewheel covers - These are the heavy ones that cover the entire wheel - not just the center rim.Known issues include: - The AC compressor engages but there is no gas in the system. It needs to be updated to usetoday'scoolant gases. - The interior lights do not turn off so I removed the fuse - I believe it's a switch but am not sure.- Power seat motor works and seat moves up/down and tilts. It does not move forward and backward.- The trunk needs carpeting. The original mat and jack is there but the carpet was removed and never replaced.- The muffler was replaced with a performance muffler and the resonator was not replaced. This makes the car a little louder than stock.- There is a small tear on the front bench seat - driver side.- Transmission fluid leak - This has been an issue since I purchased the car. The transmission works fine but the pan boltsconstantlyloosen. I service the transmission once a year.Otherwise the car is inimmaculate condition.The car is always garaged and is registered as a historical vehicle. I do not use it more than a few hundred miles a year. I have many spare parts that I've collected over the years that will be included. I do not drive this often. I have described it the best that I can. Please look over the photos carefully and ask any questions before bidding. The car is being sold as-is.
