...and you included a :confused: because you stepped on it...or the dog ate it and you are wondering how mad you should be on the mad-o-meter?;)

Bob Beers calls that piece a #2 in rarity. Standard green and blue also rank a #2. The only Toronado that ranks a #1 is the black one.

The Olive is desirable by many for sure. I would like a standard green one myself. :thumbsup: (Some how I ended up with 2 red ones. Bob Beers calls the red a #3.)

....and yet even as a three a decent red always brings good coin on the beach. The fact is that most all Toronados do pretty well on the block as an average.

I'd keep it.

Bought a body lot on eBay, got a black Toronado (needs some work), a yellow nearly perfect Toronado and a Orange Mako Shark (it was painted), and a few others that were uncut but painted, Olive Tjet cars of any variety seem to bring good money

Two very nice Torinos shown there, Kevin. Too rich for my budget but I'm a cheap bastige. I'm glad somebody can buy them and enjoy them.
