Not toys for boys, but a piece of American Automotive History. An appreciating asset that can be enjoyed.
The 66 Toronado is a muscle car that crosses boundaries from a very capable street fighter to a high end luxury car.
Because it cost more than just about any other muscle car of the era makes for the possibility for one like this to exist in original form.
Something this expensive was less likely to have the standard car abuse and neglect program given to GTOs, Camaros, etc. then slapped back together and called original today.
In 1966, if you were looking for something nicer, sportier than a Chevy, you'd buy a Pontiac. If you were too embarrassed to buy a Cadillac, you could buy a Buick, it was a doctor's car.
On October 14, 1965, in an effort to maintain its crown as GM's engineering division, Oldsmobile launched the all-new
Toronado, its most radical car in a 68-year history of innovation.
Enter the Toronado,
weighing over 2 Tons, 211 inches long and riding on a 119-inch wheelbase, the first front-drive production car made in America since the 1937 Cord.
Its long hood and short, true fastback deck proportions were exaggerated, but the long dash-to-axle ratio betrayed what lay underneath: a longitudinal 425-cubic-inch, 90-degree V-8 engine. With a dual-snorkel air cleaner, an extra-large intake manifold, and twin exhaust pipes, the Toronado had a gross output of 385 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque.
The new Toronado was the talk of the industry and motoring press at its debut and a month later was selected by
Motor Trend magazine to be the publication's ‘1966 Car of the Year'.
AWESOME CRUISER APPROACHING 50TH ANNIVERSARY. SERIOUS BUYERS CAN MAKE AN OFFER.

WHITE 1966 Toronado. Deluxe A/C
This restored rust free desert car is a Time Capsule.
Runs beautifully with all original numbers matching drivetrain.
425 big block motor has been rebuilt, complete new exhaust,
power steering, power brakes. Floats down the road all day at 80 mph! We just recently tuned her up, changed all fluids, and belts flushed and boiled the radiator, added new water pump, hoses, and she runs cool, starts easily.
NEW TIRES. We rebuilt the suspension, brakes
including new wheel cylinders, turned drums and new shoes, she stops great.
This is the first and best year of the Toronado. It represents the age of personal luxury.
Currently these cars are undervalued, but coming up in value very quickly! Especially the one year only 1966 version.
