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.
