1978 Toronado with T tops??

[1966toro]

I recently aquired a 78 toronado that has factory t tops. After looking online i have yet to see another one like it. Any ideas in regards to production numbers??

Hey. Where's the pics.
Untill you post some pics, I won't be able to say I've seen one either.
But I'd love to.

Is this by any chance an XSR? That was about the top of the line in 78. Personally, I have never seen a Toro with a t top. Lots of em with a moon roof. Got a picture to post?

Last really nice 78 Toro XSR I saw was a survivor with less than 50,000 miles. Gun metal grey. A real dreamboat. Ironically, I took a used 78 XSR for a test drive in 1979. It was light metallic blue with matching padded vinyl landau roof. It had the moon roof and all the goodies. Didn't buy it because it didn't have any guts even though it was a 455, and the tranny didn't sound healthy either. Holy cow though! There was enough room in the front to stretch out Herman Munster and not touch the toe kick.

They're pretty rare. The original XSR showcar had power t-tops that slid into the middle. That feature was sadly dropped for production. Does your 78 have the MISAR crank trigger ignition?

I hears ther was one one 77 o r78 Toronado with T- Tops. I sawit back in July of 1995 at the Olds Natioansl in Greensboro, NC
