very nice. I like the turbo convertibles. Someone local is selling an 84 turbo convertible but I can't afford it frown

I thought they only built 11 84 turbo convertibles.

The ROA website did list 8, then 11 and now 47 cars. www.rivieraconvertible.com registry lists 47 also.

The Riviera and Toronado defined personal luxury in the 60's so both would appeal to us. My dad bought a 70 Toro for me to go off to college with in 1973. Later I bought a 66 to haul my Hobie Cat with. They were great cars before the 70s. The acceleration in my Rivs reminds me of the 455 in the 70 Toro. However I like the MPG, and stereo in my 99 Riv better.
