Toro Search

Hi all --

I have recently rediscovered my interest in Toros. When I was a teenager, I owned a brown '73 that I utterly ran into the ground. I loved that car, but just beat it to a pulp. It needed more kid gloves, and less lead feet.

Now, 20 years later, I'd like to find/rescue/restore a Gen 1 Toro (66-70), but I'm having trouble finding any that either aren't completely gutted, or almost completely cherry. I've been keeping an eye on E-Bay, Hemmings, and Old Car Buyer, but nothing really has popped up for a decent price. Does anyone have any suggestions, or favorite sites, (in addition to this forum), of where else I should be looking?

Many thanks!

Sounds great James, but I would hazard a guess its price tag is a bit steep.

'85 Toro Search

I'm looking for info on a vehicle which left my family in the early 1990's. I believe it was sold to someone in ND. It's a 1985 Olds Toronado Convertible (Cherry Hill Ed). It was built for the PGA tour. Actually, several were built, not sure of an exact number. They were white with a white top and burgundy leather interior. Any info on the vehicle or how to search for it would be appreciated. I can be reached at 877-848-9683.
