Bucket seats in '66?
Hi all,
From all the images I've seen thus far, I have yet to see a '66 Toro with front bucket seats. Yet, I found one (in rough shape) for sale in Minn. that has buckets for the front seats. Was this an option for that year, or is it an aftermarket change/update? Thanks, B |

Hemmings Cover Car, December 06
Hi,
The Toro and Eldo on the cover of Hemmings Classic Car are mine. It had the same owner until I purchased it. It was an Arizona car. The trim plate on the bulkhead shows the letters BS for Bucket Seats. I have looked at over 50 other Toro trim plates and have never seen the letters BS used. Other GM makes used the BS designation also for bucket seat interiors. If you pick up the 1966 Hot Rod with the Toro on the cover, the test model they use is trumpet gold with a black bucket seat interior. You can clearly see the console in a couple of the pictures in the article. So there were at least two assembled, and the Hot Rod car was either pilot or early production. Also, the Fisher Body Manual for 1966 has an exploded view of the console and bucket seats, with part numbers. I have searched for NOS parts and did not have any luck, as expected. I am more than happy to share more pics of the car or discuss it if interested. It is a rare beast for sure. The engine rebuild begins in December. |

bucket seats
You found the holy grail. 1-of-50 made. See the latest article in Hemmings Classic Car Magazine, Dec 06, issue 27, page 22. Quote..."out of 40,963 toros built in 66, roughly 50 had them" (bucket seats)
. If you don't buy the toro then let me know. Don 760-369-7306. |
