Professional repaint? Professionals shouldn't miss an obvious detail such as seen here, on the door latch striker, yet gets missed almost all the time.

I'll play devil's advocate here...maybe professional painter with amateur masker.

Aren't these cars front-wheel drive? Wonder what the handling was like.........

Nice looking car but... NO NO & NO, have you been huffing the Gas Doc?

Maaco guys consider themselves “professional”!

It was fantastic! I got to drive a '71 (first year of this new body) on a number of occasions when I was 16, in '74. My Dad's boss owned one and it was used as a "Company car." I made several deliveries in it. Sweet, powerful, and smooth. I would take turns marked at 45 MPH at 75 with no problems! That FWD would just pull through the turn! The 455 had plenty of power!

I have wanted a '71 ever since, but they are rarely available.

The only thing I disliked? The "rim-blow" steering wheel. Every time I backed up I would blow that damn horn!!

Mine was a great Minnesota winter beater in my early twenties and with front wheel drive before fwd was standard. It was a beast and impossible to kill...until the engine eventually seized up...after burning about a quart of oil a day.

I would predict an ending price between 10-12k. There was a equally clean same year Toro in Milwaukee area a few months ago but less appealing color. Personally I prefer the styling of my '66 Toro. The one that took 35 years plus to finally get.
