First Wash In 15 Years: 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado Disaster Detail and Surprise Reveal!

This is a 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado that has sat in a garage in Long Island for over 15 years. The owners son wants to get the Toronado back on the road hopefully in time for his wedding. Thankfully, I have the help of Jason Rose (Rupes USA) and Kevin Brown (buffdaddy.com) to bring the dusty Toronado back to life.

[@thehealthcareguy6281]

I don’t comment often, but I am blown away by the quality of this interior. The attention to detail is incredible and it looks luxurious even by today’s standards. Like you said, they really don’t make them like they used to.

[@DavidBugea]

You can thank the late Blaine Jenkins for that. He performed his magic on the 1966 Toronado interior, creating what you see in the video. He later went on to design the interiors of several notable GM cars, including the 1972 Ninety-Eight Regency, the 1973 Grand Prix, and the 1990 Corvette. Motor Trend has an excellent article on him on their website; I tried to include a link in this comment, but KZbin didn’t like it. 😁

[@manofthehour6856]

Agree completely The Healthcare Guy. The style and function along with the quality of materials and fit are works of art reflecting a time when a small and talented team with oversight for a lead came up with something for approval, whereas today, costs are such that it seems like too many people have input into some cars. This Toronado gave me a big smile!!!!!

[@LSniumUwU]

Sure to some people it looks nice, but not safe by any means by todays standards, now days you can make something look nice while being safer at the same time.

[@SightsNjunk]

@@LSniumUwU What is not safe about it? They are very comfortable, and the line of sight is much better than cars of today.

This is for me a OMFG moment.. when I saw your post I thought "I was pretty early to but not that early". Looked back at the vids and then I remembered stumbling on the video with leather cleaning (I was cleaning my new used my car Peugeot 406 Coupé). 9YEARS AGO!!! What the H.... Wasn't the first but the second one. Been watching since then. Time goes by soooo fast.

[@Eye-it-azz]

Yeah, a design from 2022 years ago

[@felinespirits]

Always loved the Toronado too. Had a brand new one back in 1984, giant, luxurious car with no transmission tunnel...just a thing of beauty. As you said, this still looks like a futuristic design all these years later. Such talented designers. Now, its hard to even tell cars apart.

[@9256steven]

Yes here in the UK Jerry Anderson used a '66/'67 Toro in his UFO series set in 1980 but filmed in '69!

[@citibear57]

How awesome to see this beauty go from disaster to delight. The first-gen Toronado was, and still is, my No. 1 favorite car of all time. My heart still races whenever I see photos (or videos!) of them. I was 8 years old when it first came out, and I still have Motor Trend's 1966 Car of the Year issue (well-read, and without the cover) in which the amazing Toronado was the winner. Kudos to AMMO NYC for bringing this automobile back to life 👍

[@larrydaniels6532]

Then you remember the flat floorboards, no transmission hump.

[@KiwiStag74]

I love this era Oldsmobile, but I've never seen a Toronado look this beautiful. I wonder why she was parked for so long? Certainly not because of rust issues! The word 'transformation' is overused in society nowadays, but the process of doing this car is nothing but. The result of this Toronado's detailing should be used as the definition for the word! I'll certainly think of the beast every time I hear it. Well done, people. She's an absolute pearler. Now, if I could just have his number to see if he's willing to sell it to me (after his son's wedding of course), that would be perfect! 😂 All the best.

That’s got to be one of the best before and afters I’ve seen recently. She came out absolutely cherry!

[@CaptainCrunkXL]

I used to rescue a 66 Toronado - pulled it from it's grave in 2000. This was long before this started to be a thing on KZbin. We did a restoration from frame up. These cars are built like trains. You can make six cars today from one of those. Build quality and detail is amazing. There will never be another generation of vehicles that can survive neglect for so long. I ended up selling the Toro before it was finished. It took two more owners until the car was in one piece again. Finally found it online years later when it was sold to a new owner in Austria looking pristine as can be. Some color detailing we did gave it away. I always love seeing another one of those yachts...

[@AxnerSaab]

I'm astonished by how clean the interior actually was. Of course, it had mold (which wasn't that bad), but it looked much better than the exterior

[@funstuff6241]

Don't forget the Eldorado. I had a 78 Toronado years ago. It was the XS model with the wrap around rear window and the 455 under the hood.

Front wheel drive, a stunning interior, everything harmoniously designed and combined. Stunning details in the interior. I am a big car guy; had no clue that General Motors had this gem hiding in their history. It is closer to what I would have expected from Lincoln in those years.

[@Mordrayso]

What an absolutely beautiful piece of automotive history. The fact that it was garage stored for all those years made this an amazing find and a base for you guys to work your magic, and magic it is. You guys pay so much attention to detail and you did a fantastic job on this car.

[@KURUZU43]

Love this one Larry especially because you got the gang back together to help bring this beauty back to life! Nice Job Brother!

My neighbor when i was growing up had one of these under a carport next to his barn. He would fire it up once a month but never drove it. Really cool to watch this transformation! Pat's dad is a rockstar!

[@jbynum67]

The Tornado is already a sexy car but when you guys got done with it - lord have mercy!!! That thing was beyond showroom condition!

[@hudsonja]

It's absolutely insane how much the color of this car changed throughout this detail. The only real life comparison I can make is when I worked at a local car wash in high school and cleaned the interior of an old Ford Explorer someone bought from a heavy smoker. They were so shocked when I called them over to show them the shiny grey plastic interior, they didn't believe it was their car because the car they bought had a tan interior... that was the amount of discoloration from all the tar that came off. I used almost an entire spray bottle each of tar remover and interior cleaner in that car between the day, side panels and cupholders/ash trays, but they were so impressed with how transformed the entire vehicle was they tipped me and my team $100 on what was an advertised $70 cleaning package. This was in 2005 and to me, that $33 each for the hour or so we spent cleaning it between the three of us felt so incredible. Happiest customer I ever saw, they almost cried as I handed them the keys.

[@CarlosNunez-bm4hr]

Larry: I think you're an incredible detailer, but I must say that Kevin and Jason are next level. It always baffles me their attention to detail.

[@kristavthatsme3178]

What a beautiful restore! I was so looking forward to this one because my dad had this same model in gray when I was growing up. When he brought it home and showed off the concealed lights, my brother and I were blown away! It was the coolest car on the block! So many fond memories of driving across country and the many adventures taken in that car! He kept it until the early 80's at which point he got a 1982 Corvette with the crossfire injection. It's safe to say my love for automobiles runs in my family. Kudos to you and the crew!! ✌🏾😀

I am very happy that these beauties are still around and getting the love and attention they deserve.

I owned a '67 Toro when I was in college. I-75 I think it was, before it officially opened, no one on it but me, night time, and I was driving home from college in Florida to Pennsylvania. Light rain. Cruised for hours at 140 mph for hours and hours. The car was amazing. Got stopped in Florida for doing 150 on the Turnpike. When you would slow to 100, felt like you were doing 35. Great car. Amazing I am still alive. But that car was was incredibly engineered. And powerful. At the time, the word was that Detroit wanted their first front wheel drive luxury car to be a terrific car. It was. And what an amazing resto you did.......wow.

18:11 Great restoration job. Some of that stuff is probably missing from the walls or attic of the house. I took stuff like that out of an old console radio and it included pink fiberglass, nut shells and a bunch of other things that would not normally be found in a 1948 radio. Rodents seem to round up whatever they can find, wherever they can find it. I'd also check the house wiring for any damage they might have left; one of my neighbors had a fire from the arcing of gnawed wiring in the attic.

I used to have the Buick version of this car in the 80's, which was a '67 GS Riviera... probably the coolest car I've ever owned and not to mention a complete sleeper. It was a gift from an elderly neighbor when I was in my teens for helping him around his property over the years. He said "you will be the coolest kid" and I was, doing burnouts with front wheel drive simply blew people's minds. It had the newer 430ci v8 with waaay too much torque for the day. I later had to give it up for rent owed for storing it and later in the 90's found a '73 "boat tail" with the 455ci v8.. That car had the smoothest power I've ever seen not to mention a rear window only a dodge engineer could love. Kudos to the dudes that really love these cars and keep them pristine, the old Riv's and Tornado's were as classic as they can get. Just a note here.. back in the 90's I worked in the automotive/autobody industry for a while and came up with a non toxic vinyl restoring compound. Wipe it on after a high ph wash and within a week, seats and dash pads will begin to become flexible again, I have never seen a product that works as good. No solvents to further dry up the vinyl or silicones to make it appear restored, the material actually becomes flexible again without falling apart. Only works on pvc tho!

It's hard to find the words to describe how good Bill Mitchell was at designing classic vehicles that have stood the test of time!

It would be great to go to a car show with that Oldsmobile knowing that it has a trunk big enough to house all the trophies that one would be sure to win, especially after such a beautiful transformation. Fantastic job gentlemen, fantastic!

Today I Learned where the term Lead Sled came from. Rock on Larry and the crew!

First off this is absolutely one of my top dream cars of all time. Spectacular transformation front to back top to bottom every inch it looks so impressive. And… it will be in his wedding!

[@aggressivemediocrity]

He's totally right about how that kind of work takes a toll on your body. I used to work detailing cars at a car lot when I was in college. I also always enjoyed doing my own cars too but now that I'm in my 40s carpal tunnel has set in it's just not something I get to do much these days... it's just to painful. But I can live vicariously by watching the channel tho😉😆

Awesome to see this transformation especially in the middle of a heat wave and winter jackets w/ hats

Whitewalls. A trick here in the South is to use a small slate rock from the driveway. Pearl white in a matter of seconds. Great job on the car.

[@unscarred7852]

I've always used a Brillo Pad to easily clean white walls and tires in general. Give it a shot Larry!

[@brokenguillotine6988]

I really don’t understand how Kevin has so much attention to detail but it is entertaining to see the tricks he comes up with. Great job with the detail as always.

7:25 dad joke alert! Love this transformation. These Toronados and Studebaker Avantis are some of my favorite cars from the 60s.

[@johncampbell4405]

Absolutely phenomenal transformation! Love seeing you put life back into cars that have been neglected or forgotten. What a fantastic job!

My dad had a burgundy colored one. When I was a kid he took me to the east coast to see relatives. We towed a tent trailer behind it. He got a ticket for 110mph in a 60. The cop told him, he saw the trailer sailing out behind us, lol! Being a kid, I slept most of the way in the back seat. I remember sitting on his lap steering it down our street. It was a beautiful car. On another note, I found 'Spray NIne' to work really well whitening up old rubber moldings and whitewalls. I used it on the trim on my white '87 Cobra GT, and it always came up bright white. I had to wash it every spring, when I took it out of hibernation, and it worked like a charm.

[@TheExtremaz]

Holy Wow! This is an absolute gorgeous car, it looks so clean! The interior was amazing with all the chrome and the seat buttons.

Hi Larry. I am so impressed with the work you and your team had done to that 60's beauty. Actualy I am impressed with all your projects. Passion of cars is your thing fore sure and it shows. All my best regards. I have this passion too. I remember when I was a kid, my father and grand-father were very conservatives of the car they owed. My grand-father used to make me clean and grease and polish his 1966 Sedan Mercury Meteor Rideau (sand color) every other weeks. We had this car for over 33 years in the familly and when my father sold it after grand-father passed, it only had 39000 miles on it. Today, I keep on taking realy good care of my cars like grand-pa did but if I would have enough space, I would surely do what you do. Great Job.

It was neat to learn about the door handle for the back seat passengers.
