This was a ground breaking car in 1966 with many unique features. It was futuristic and highly engineered. The first American front wheel drive in about 30 years. Unique style in and out and a motor under the hood that offered an abundance of power.
This one is an excellent example. Only 69,620 miles. It is obvious it has always been well cared for. Great list of features and the color is outstanding.
EXTERIOR: It's only as tall as a Corvair, the hood is long and the deck is short. This is a big car that could almost be considered a sports car. The body is pristine. It fits right, it is arrow straight with no rust or damage. Repainted 1 time in it's beautiful original Dubbonet color. It is polished to a smooth high gloss finish. Hidden pop up headlights, no vinyl top and a sloped trunk make it look sleak. The bumpers were rechromed, the back bumper is notched out for the exhaust. Very nice original trim, grill and taillights. Optional cornering lights. Big shiny chrome wheels on like new radial tires.
INTERIOR: Very cool interior, same plum color as the outside. Unique designed dash in mint shape. It has a barrel roll speedometer, upgraded quartz movement in the clock, rare signal seeking AM-FM radio and climate control. It also has a rare tilt and telescopic wheel. The ashtrays are as big as a glove box in todays cars. Lighters and ashtrays are clean. The glovebox light works, it has original owners manual and protect-o-plate. Down on the floor is the original carpet with sewn in mat. Original door panels are very good with a door handle in the back for the rear passengers. Headliner and visors are excellent. It has a strato seat with bucket backs and bench bottom with armrest. Original upholstery is very nice. It has a complete set of plum color seat belts.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Big 425 makes an impressive 385 hp and 475 lbs of torque. It looks like it's a very well maintained motor compartment. The motor is spotless, looks like it's been apart. It still has the dual snorkel air cleaner and original valve covers. It features factory air conditioning, power steering and power brakes. The squirters are hooked up, wires are run neatly, new hood insulation pad. Very clean and proper.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is lined with gray felt. It has a matching chrome wheel spare. The complete jack assembly is all mounted properly including the lug wrench. Bottom of the trunk lid and the jamb are glossy paint. The weather strip looks new.
UNDERSIDE: Whats different? It's a front wheel drive! There is no driveshaft so the floor is flat. It is very clean original. The floors are rock solid, never even been spray painted over. It still has original spiral shocks. The components are clean. Big finned drum brakes, e-brake is hooked up. Bottom of the motor is clean, not greasy. Rebuilt starter. Unique Hydra-Matic trans is the original. The 1966 tag is still riveted to the side of it. Dual exhaust goes into a transverse muffler and exits through the rear bumper.
I really like this car! The honest, unabused condition is impressive. Now that I've taken the time to learn a little more about these cars I really appreciate them. The features, body style and innovation really make this a special car. Love the colors too!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail.

I'm 60 and have never seen a tornado before what a beautiful car

[@citibear57]

Oh my! This is the car that got me interested in automobiles at the age of 9. My father bought me a copy of the December 1965 issue of Motor Trend, in which they announced their 1966 Car of the Year winner: the Oldsmobile Toronado. I still have that issue, but the cover is missing due to me gazing at the Toronado so many times. I rarely ever saw one of these beauties on the streets of my city. To this day it continues to make my heart race. I wish I could afford this baby. It's still the car of my dreams, after all these years.

[@capitainebonhomme1609]

Thank you for posting your video of this gorgeous looking Toronado 1967 !❤

[@stefanmayr9379]

One of the finest!! A real masterpiece and milestone in GM's history 👍😎 Wonderful body-style and a great color - simply outstanding 👍👍 Thanks a lot for showing and Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹👍😎

[@TheDRUM2112]

These cars are so cool! So much power to do those front wheel burnouts and seeing people's faces. A friend of mine had one back in the day, these things get down and move! Love the color too.

[@robreuler144]

I remember my dads 66. This car is absolutely gorgeous.

[@brandonchang4685]

Definitely one of the coolest cars you’ve had on here!! Very unique color combo

[@rubyred93chev]

_This was Bill Mitchell's baby, and what a stunning time capsule of an original '66 Olds Toronado Jay. And the color, I'm speechless!_

[@bobtepedino5661]

That car has a beautiful paintjob, much nicer than anything GM actually originally produced. Stunning!

[@incog99skd11]

My Dad had a '66 Toronado in light blue metallic. We drove that car through the California desert when it was 114 degrees at 80 mph and the air kept the inside under 60 degrees. When we got out of the car at a gas station in Needles CA we almost fainted from the heat. That car had power in reserve in that weather. It was a Sherman tank!

[@smoothoperator7023]

What year was this...

[@hectorraigosa7149]

My brother had a one. Bought new, white exterior black interior. I was 6 or 7, but i remember how smooth and quiet that was compared to my other brothers 59 impala. I will say this, if you ever have front wheel hub give out, you're in for it. I also remember my brother having to deal with that...

[@scottleyva8656]

One of the coolest cars ever made!

[@georgeandy6923]

Wow....another one of my All Time Favorite Cars. This one is a Beauty! And you are right, you don't see them a lot!! Y'all have a knack for finding some Spectacular Classics!!!

[@barryfriedel2426]

❤nice find Jay! I'm like you,I like it's unique look.

[@sheldonrobertson8670]

An awesome example of GM engineering and style, like Jay said way ahead of it's time, that motor does have a lot of torque, I saw a picture in Hot Rod magazine showing it doing a smokey burnout front wheel style.

[@jked7463]

Beautiful, thanks. That's the sound of a real V-8. Not these bellowing, droning exhausts of today. .

[@christolbert4628]

A friend had one of those in high school about 1983. Nice car 🚗 👌

[@davidbranch1077]

[@user-wc4uh4rl3z]

Nice year 66 🇺🇲and color northern calif

[@HypocriticYT]

Wonderful!!

[@youtold7727]

Fine specimen! My personal opinion on Toronado and Riviera is the Toro is more masculine. Riv is pretty like all dolled up whereas the Toro has a stout stance especially looking at it from the rear and the unmistakably Oldsmobile exhaust notes. Sitting in the drivers seat of the Toronado with the airplane look of the steering wheel is more fitting than the huge one of the Riv. I guess if you’re a very big guy you’d choose the Riv but either car you can’t go wrong.

[@frankmartinez4856]

Beat Cadillac by one yr. In the front wheel drive! Last yr. for the Starfire coupe! That Olds is just Beautiful 😻

[@incog99skd11]

Actually, this car is on the Cadillac Eldorado chassis. They released it under Olds one year early as a test of the front wheel drive in the field. It passed and we got the gorgeous '67 Eldorado as a result.

[@frankmartinez4856]

@@incog99skd11 you’re right on! Just like the 49’ V-8, it was Cadillac too!

[@andrewbutton5580]

Amazing Dubonnet color. Shame it wasnt even available on anything except this year and model of car. Beautiful car and color. Dubonnet Toros are the premier cars if you can find them.

[@fabiovelandia919]

Una, chimba de colección, autos que nunca voveran

[@jessicaprintke4973]

Nice Car.

[@michaelcesco2970]

Wonder if there's enough room under the dash for a cd player. That would really sweeten the deal !

[@unclerudy9797]

My buddy's grandfather had one when they came out... Took us to the movies in it... Planet of The Apes... :)

[@guilhermevasconcelos4626]

muito bom!

[@hwy9571]

A beautiful automobile for its time. Perhaps styled better than Fords T-Bird. The front wheel drive lacked the technology of today, it was evident on turns. Had a very comfortable ride. Otherwise,a unrated piece of automotive history.

[@carllavell8673]

👀...👍🔥😍🔥👍

[@roberth9023]

did you fix that little tear in the drivers seat that car wouldve been perfect then

[@charleybarley914]

running out to buy a lottery ticket

[@michaelcesco2970]

The paint looks really good but the next owner will probably clean and dress the tires. Wonder if will accept some cragars. I'm not a speeder - i'd prefer a smaller engine. Todays gas prices would kill you at the pump.

[@sawahxx1]

How much?? How much are the shipping costs to Egypt?

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

Prices for all our cars that are available are on our website. www.volocars.com/auto-sales/vehicles/17254/1966-oldsmobile-toronado You would have to contact someone from sales to get an idea of shipping costs to Egypt. 📧: [e-mail] ☎️: 815-385-3644

[@markleightonson1770]

I would bite for half the price.

[@roberth9023]

did it get sold

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

This car has been sold.

[@rogersmith7396]

Sounds like it has Cherry Bombs on it. Some one did the same thing on my 70 Eldo. They will be coming off.

[@janfswedane]

It's a "Toronado"....

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

Corrected. Good catch! 😆

[@michaelcesco2970]

Liked the car but did'nt like the sound of the engine. Some exaust work and new under hood quieting soundproofing wood help. This car is too luxourious to soond like a hotrod.

[@BillofRights1951]

Clearly doesn't have resonators on the exhausts...the restorers seldom replace resonators....only replace the main mufflers...as a result, these luxo cars are NOT quiet, the way they should be...when new, they let out the quietest of burbles from the exhausts. By omitting the resonators, they sound crude and unfinished. Just sayin'.

[@gordonmohr2268]

I watched this channel for about 3 years. you have had many many beautiful cars for sale. but this one is hounddog 😕🤢🤮

[@jaygrams5046]

Aww...come on now :)This car is cool! Thanks for watching.
