Description:
Cruisin Classics is pleased to present to you this stunning 1966Oldsmobile Toronado. This was the first year for the Toronado modeland this model was the first US-produced front-wheel drive carsince the Cord 810/812 in 1937. For the inaugural edition of theToronado, Oldsmobile devised the Unitized Power Package (UPP) -putting a Rocket V-8 and transmission into an engine bay no largerthan one for a rear-wheel drive car. It was met with praise fromthe automotive press, winning Motor Trend's Car of the Year, andfrom the public with 40,963 units produced. This particular carcomes to us dressed in a very nice driver-quality respray of itsoriginal color of Autumn Bronze. The overall style of the car iseye-catching, with flared wheel wells, a fastback-type rearroofline, and hidden "flip-up" headlights. It's sure easy to seewhy it was so popular! Up front beneath the hidden headlights are abright horizontal V-shaped grille and chrome bumper that areflanked by extended fenders that protrude forward, covered at thebottom by the large bumper. The bumper has integrated turn signalsand the grill features an Oldsmobile Club of America Badge. Theside view of this Toronado shows off its stylish body lines,accented by gleaming wheel lip molding, rocker molding, windowtrim, chrome door handles, door edge molding, "Toronado" scriptfender badges, and very cool round dual chrome side mirrors. Thelong low angle of the rear window is accented by a series of ventsbeneath that continue the same angled line down the trunk lid tothe rear. In the back is another chrome bumper with cut-outs forthe large chrome exhaust tips. Above the bumper are taillights setin a border of brightwork that is showing some age with pitting.The gas fill is hidden behind the license plate so as not todisturb the curving body lines with an unsightly fuel door. Thisbeautiful package sits atop a set of powder-coated 10-hole factorydrum brake wheels with dog dish caps and beauty rings - all wrappedin a set of Nexen Tires. Lift the long hood to find a very stock-looking engine bay. Sittingat the center is what we believe to be the original 425 Rocket V-8and THM425 3-speed front wheel drive automatic transmission. Whennew, this engine was rated at 385hp and 475 lb-ft of torque -plenty of power to make this 4,500lb car get up and go. The lightblue block is topped with same-color heads, valve covers, factoryintake, water pump, and dual snorkel air cleaner. The air cleanerwears an Oldsmobile Toronado decal on top. You'll see that there isa Frigidaire A/C compressor hooked up, but at this time the clutchdoes not engage when the A/C is turned on in the car. Also presentare power steering, power drum brakes with a single reservoir, andcast exhaust manifolds. We do have a receipt showing thetransmission was rebuilt in 2021. Ride quality is as smooth as youwould expect, courtesy of a front-end rebuild just a few years ago(we've got the receipts for that too). Open the driver's door to see 4 courtesy lights all pop on andilluminate a gorgeous bronze interior. The long doors wear bronzevinyl door panels with bright trim and black carpeted bottoms. Thecompletely flat floor is covered in good quality newer black carpetwith double-wide red carpeted Oldsmobile logo floormats keeping itnice in both the front and rear. You'll find exceptionally nicebronze vinyl bench seats in both the front and rear, the latterfeaturing a speaker in the center of the back with a decorativegrille cover. The seats look amazing and are equally ascomfortable. The dash is a two-tiered affair with a metal top andlower vinyl top that does show some cracking above the gaugecluster area. A black bezel is home to a fuel gauge, temp warninglight, speedometer, odometer, shift indicator, oil light, and ampgauge. The speedometer is a "slot machine-style" consisting of astationary horizontal needle and a vertically rotating black drumon which the numerals are painted in white - it is really cool andunusual! The odometer reads 77,652 miles and the title confirmsthat to be actual. Next to the gauges on the right are a workinganalog clock and the original AM push-button transistor radio(inop.).To the driver's left are controls for the heat, fan, and A/C(present, but inop.). The wipers and flip-up headlights both workas they should. Mounted under the dash are a set of oil pressureand temperature gauges from Autogage to keep a closer eye onthings. The driver is treated to a highly stylized steering wheelwith a working double delta-shaped horn ring that perfectly framesthe cool speedometer on the dash. Ahead of the passenger is aglovebox and to its left is a his/hers double ashtray with alighter. Overhead is a tight bronze vinyl headliner with a smalldime-size hole above the rear seat. Back in the trunk, you'll finda spare tire with a jack, a plaid vinyl mat, and a fitted blackrubber Oldsmobile logo trunk mat. In addition, we have the originalwindow sticker and a folder of receipts for all of the work done tothe car over the last 4 years. If you're looking for a classic cruiser that exudes style andoffers power paired with a smooth ride, this Toronado is going toget your heart beating faster!
