VEHICLE NOTES

INTRODUCTION: I an a recently retired Auto Instructor and have recently purchased this beautiful Toronado--sister to and more rare than the Eldorado--it was previously owned by a husband and wife team of mechanics for over 30 years (every oil change had POWER PUNCH OIL ADDITIVE. THE FORERUNNER OF SYNTHETIC OIL--LOOK IT UP!)--and returned it to Daily Driver status with the work listed below--it was in storage from 2008.  The compression check on the engine was 140 PSI each cylinder with a  COLD engine. There is NO SMOKE OF ANY KIND—PERFECTLY TUNED—including the REMANUFACTURED CARB DIALED IN WITH CHEVY BIG BLOCK JETS. RODS. NEEDLE AND SEAT. FLOAT. AND ADJUSTABLE POWER VALVE. NO stumble or bog--runs and drives new. NO BODY/FRAME RUST! THIS IS A TOTALLY NORTHWEST CAR WITH NO SALT ON WINTER ROADS IN OREGON AND SOUTHERN WASHINGTON--SEATLE USES SALT. NOT HERE! RUNS. DRIVES. HANDLES LIKE NEW….

************SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTICE ABOUT THIS CAR:

COLLECTORS: LAST LARGE TORONADO
THE HUBCAPS AND WHEELS ARE IN PERFECT LIGHTLY USED SHAPE--THIS IS RARELY TRUE OF TORONADOS.
THE FRONT SEATS ARE ALMOST PERFECT (THERE IS VERY LITTLE OF THE USUAL SEAM AND WRINKLE WEAR AS THE WOMAN MECHANIC IS A SMALL LADY WHO MOSTLY DROVE THIS CAR FROM VANCOUVER. WA TO WALLA WALLA . WA---247 MILES.

THE ODDOMETER HAS FLIPPED BUT THE ENGINE IS IN GREAT SHAPE BECAUSE OF THE HIGHWAY MILES AND THE OIL WAS CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES WITH AN ENGINE ADDITIVE NAMED POWER PUNCH--PLEASE LOOK THIS PRODUCT UP BEFORE YOU DISMISS IT AS SELLER NONSENSE! THIS MAKES THE OIL SIMILAR TO SYNTHETIC OIL WHICH OF COURSE TRIPLES THE LIFE OF MOST MOTORS.
