I love that 850!

Now at 159$ - still affordable  ;D

Seller has a Clio in the garage, the 850 came from Japan, and I spot the roofline of an air-cooled Beetle in the driveway. Modern Audi too. Dent needs beer time with the seller if he does this  :cheers:

New underbody pics added!

 :fall:  I absolutely love it. Few cars today can match this Toronado in the exterior styling department.

I was expecting this one hit closer to $100K. The impact of the virus?

Maybe. Did it not have collision damage though ?

5 hours to go it could ramp up.

Yeah but as one of the poster said "The new tech and measuring devices will probably bring them back better than factory"

Always liked the Toronados and Eldorados - must be my penchant for underdogs! Odd pics for fwd, but much roomier than the other "personal luxury coupes" of the era thanks to the flat floors. The coolest Toros are the ones with the bent rear glass!

Yep. Like this Buick Riviera. Looks like it came from a different planet. See the split tail lights? New G80 will be a collectible in 50 years  ;)

Hmmm...well...$70K USD is $90K CAD. Great buy.
