  Refreshing to have an actual human narrator, rather than all the AI narration these days. Great job!

  I had a 70 Toronado about 45 years ago. It wasn't a GT but it had a decal on the air cleaner that read Oldsmobile ultra high compression. The car would accelerate from 50 to 90 like nothing I have ever driven to this day. I wish I still had it.

  I had this car until my ex-wife wrecked it and boy was I upset but she lives on in my memory! The car that is!

  Our neighbors had a &apos;70 Toronado with bucket seats and console shift. &nbsp;It was gold with saddle brown vinyl top and leather seats.<br>I loved that car.

  The 1970 W-30 442 was rated at 370 HP/500lb-ft torque but was greatly underrated for insurance purposes.

  I drove a convertible &apos;73 Olds 88 455 for 28 years . It was the most dependable car I have ever owned. It never failed to get me where I was going. Of course 1973 was less than 300HP. &nbsp;But, a nice ride.

  It&apos;s like a body builder in a tailored suit. Very tasteful &amp; handsome but still looks like it could deck you if you disrespect it.

  I had the pleasure of owning and enjoying one of these in Queensland Australia, same colour as this one. Great car that always drew a crowd at car shows, 455 big block front wheel drive 400hp. Best memory was driving my father to the airport to fly overseas....he was sitting on the right side and commented it felt strange due to all other cars being right hand drive🤣🤣 this was my first LHD car and I recall the salesman on the Gold Coast saying it&apos;s easy just follow the curb line and you&apos;ll be fine! He was right🤣🤣 no problem for my 2 hour drive home. Joined the Toronado Owners Association in America and the car featured in one of their magazines. Sold to a collector in Melbourne, don&apos;t know if he still has it.... that was many years and many collectible cars ago!

  Honestly think this one looks better than the original. &nbsp;And a bonus, the engine!

  I had a 70GT after the gas crisis wound down, and it was on of my favorites. So much so that years later, when my kids were young, I bought an 11 year old &apos;77 GMc motorhome - that used the Olds power pack drive train. &nbsp;We drove all over and the 403 was also a strong engine in a 12k pound vehicle.<br><br>This was the first year for the 403 to meet emissions, and the 455 had ended production.

  I had a 69 Toronado with the 455 and a 4 barrel carb. Loved that car. I was only 18 as my dad sold it to me. I would absolutely love to have that car back!
