Not sure with the toronado, but am thinking the trunk is a lost sause, at least on g/a body cars they started using a metal panel to seperate the trunk, probably to stiffen the chassis. the access holes are too small to get through. I would assume it is the same on the toro. If you have access to a lock out kit you may be able to physically get at the latch mechanisim, they are fairly easy to actuate on 70's era gm car. You will need a plastic wedge to "peel" the door away from the glass. Done carefully and in moderation this will not harm the door. When I was running a wrecker we did thus on the pass side just in case though. any way you should see some steel rods about the same thickness as the ones on a shopping cart. fiddle with them GENTLY to ascertain what easc one does. Assuming they are still attached to the latch one of these will actuate the latch, otherwise you may have to putz with the mechanism it self. I dont remember ever having one of these opened up, or havein been called on a lockout on one of these, but principles are the same, Take your time and be gentle, but firm you should have it open in no time. I will try to locake my lockout manual if needed to get more specifis, but lock/ latch mechanisms werent that sophisticaded in the 70's so it should be a straight forward deal. pm me if you need more info
