    The green '70 is a 'Toronado GT' model - 400hp and 500 ft. lbs.

    They'd be neat cars; and a package deal on 2 may be a great way to get into these things, as long as they both don't have the same problems. The front wheel drive was an issue, particularly the CV joints. Those can be expensive to replace. Trim bits are almost totally unobtainium, as is most sheet metal.
    On the plus side, they're a cheaper alternative to a Riviera which shares the same platform. They ride nice, have lots of power and are incredibly sure-footed.

    The add suggests two are for sale, but the vehicle specs seem to indicate only the green one (VIN, color, etc.). Given the add is confusing, if someone is interested in pursuing, would certainly need to get exactly was is being sold for $10,000.00.

    Good eye Ken,
    I haven’t seen a GT version in almost 30 years. Had a line on an orange GT for next to nothing till the bodyshop owner didn’t pay his bills and on my next visit the shop was locked and the landlord had any cars hauled off.
    Thing of course had the W-34 400 Hp motor as you mentioned,bumper cut outs & even had the optional buckets & floorshift just as the green one in the ad does.
    Rare but can’t imagine there is a huge market for the$e?

    Yeah, not an investment, but a really unique car ... very powerful and fun to drive and enjoy.

    I had a buddy who had the non GT version and remember the one time he got me to hang out the window and tell him when the rear tires were starting to spin!
    Needless to say I got pelted pretty good on that 1st ride in a big v-8 front wheel drive car!:eek::D:D:D
