The Last of the Toronados
Well, '92 was the final year for the Toronado and I've always liked the body style when equipped with the Trofeo package. I've been fooling with this one since October, looking for parts, getting the heads reworked while replacing the head gasket, and hunting down electrical gremlins to make it perfect mechanically.
The only thing left now is to take care of a few cosmetics:repaint the faded rear bumper cover & door handle surrounds outside, then fix a flaw in the corner of the driver seat bottom inside.

Thanks for looking everyone, I appreciate your kind words!
Did their car look kinda like this? (minus the warped fender & pushed in wheel 
)
I bought this as a parts car for the white one but (1) it turned out that behind the wheel was just a bent strut & no frame damage & (2) I only needed very few parts that would interchange. I already bought the strut so the only thing it really needs to go back on the road is to convert those horrible brakes over to a conventional system. It has a moonroof, brand new Michelins, the A/C is still cold and the drivetrain is great. Weird...
