1978 Oldsmobile Toronado (Corinth, KY) $5,000 For Sale

1978 Oldsmobile Toronado (Corinth, KY) $5, 000

Changes to the 1978 Toronado were few. There was a handsome new vertical-bar grille and an AM/ FM stereo radio was now standard equipment. A slight cut in engine compression shaded horsepower back to 190 and torque to 325 pound-feet. Despite the virtual sameness, base prices shot up -- by nearly $1000 on the XS. Meanwhile, demand was down by more than 9000 units in what would be the final year for the big Toro. Its turn for downsizing had come and an all-new Toronado, riding an eight-inch-shorter wheelbase and weighing nearly 1000 pounds less, was about to pull Oldsmobile's personal-luxury coupe into the years of its most consistent success. Even with eight years' worth of changes to its exterior styling, interior appointments, and drivetrain, there was no mistaking a 1978 Toronado as a member of the second generation of Oldsmobile's front-wheel-drive personal-luxury coupe. As it turned out, '78 would mark the last time the imposing "Toro" would ever be this big. This is coming out of a high end collector's estate, and there are several others to choose from. Extra parts are available.
