Exterior:
What you're seeing is exactly what you'll get with this 1981
Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham Diesel, and it's a sight to behold.
Thanks to a dealer-optioned rustproofing treatment from new, the
car remains free of rust, a testament to its exceptional condition.
While there are a few minor blemishes, meticulously documented in
our pictures and video, one small repair area on the driver's door
stands out with a slight color mismatch. Nevertheless, the body
remains impressively straight, with all trim, vinyl, hardware,
lights, surrounds, and glass showcasing their beauty.
There are no indications of any accidents, and though the paint
exhibits signs of age, it still boasts a delightful shine under
natural light. Some typical checking in the paint from years of use
is noted, adding character to the car's vintage appeal. Notably,
the owner invested significantly in replacing the original GM
plastics with fiberglass counterparts, addressing a well-known
defect in the original parts. Thankfully, this means future owners
won't have to bear the burden of this task and expense. All lights
function as they should, presenting admirably.
While Cadillac wheel covers adorn the wheels in place of the
originals, the bumpers, wheel opening moldings, and lower body trim
maintain the pristine appearance expected of a 33,000-mile
survivor. This Toronado Brougham Diesel epitomizes the beauty and
resilience of a well-preserved classic automobile.
Interior:
Mirroring the exterior's excellence, the interior of this 1981
Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham Diesel exceeds expectations. The seats
present in impeccable condition, embodying the care lavished upon
this vehicle. Although the passenger side power seat currently
clicks but fails to move as expected, this issue is commonly
encountered when seats remain stationary for extended periods,
often necessitating a cleaning of the track to rectify.
The dash and gauge cluster maintain a pristine appearance,
showcasing originality and functionality. All gauges operate
properly, including the odometer and trip, with the exception of
the non-functional clock on the passenger side. The headliner
remains original and in excellent condition, while the original
carpets show minimal signs of wear, complemented by factory floor
mats that display only minor indications of use.
In the trunk, cleanliness and originality prevail, mirroring the
care extended to the rest of the vehicle. Switches, levers, and
biases move freely and fulfill their intended functions without
issue. Furthermore, the air conditioning system has been converted
to R134a, delivering refreshing cold air-a testament to the
meticulous attention to detail lavished upon this Toronado Brougham
Diesel.
Mechanicals and Underbody:
The exceptional condition of this car speaks volumes about its
history of indoor storage, evident even under the hood where
originality shines through. Recent mechanical servicing, including
new injectors, a fuel filter, and plugs, ensures the 5.7L V8 Diesel
engine runs beautifully. While it may sound akin to a truck, it
surprises with its ability to accelerate smoothly and reach highway
speeds effortlessly. The transmission shifts flawlessly, and
braking is both smooth and straight, instilling confidence behind
the wheel.
Notable additions include a set of newer batteries (2) under the
hood, ensuring reliable performance. With no road noises or
suspension rattles detected, driving this car is a pleasure,
bolstered by the confidence it inspires. The aftermarket exhaust,
professionally installed, adds to the overall performance and
aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, the tires, boasting less than 300
miles of use, exhibit excellent condition, promising many more
miles of enjoyment.
In summary, this Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham Diesel is a standout
in every aspect, destined to attract attention and spark engaging
conversations among friends and strangers alike. Don't hesitate to
