1966 Toronado weights book

I found this in lansing last weekend.
Fairly useless information pertaining to the 66 Toronado but uber cool for the type of collection and library I have. The factory would have had them for all models and years.
I would figure this is the only survivor.
Please notice the last photo, they even showed the weight of the tire pressure label.

Very cool piece of history. Lucky you to find it! My Toronado book of weights has one page and one word in it, "Heavy".

Do you plan to reprint this ? I would be interested in a nice, clean, clear copy.

So cool ! Thanks for posting this. Some of us are very detail oriented. Especially when we take our track time very seriously. Info like this is gold.

One of the reasons I am a huge fan of Autozone, they list every single items weight...



Etc.

Meanwhile performance parts stores can't tell you how much their items weigh... Summit couldn't tell me how much the rims I wanted weighed. Luckily the manufacturer listed that information on their website. When you are looking for the perfect pass all this matters. When you just want to know, it matters.

Very cool - could be used for a Toronado category on Jeopardy show. Let us know when it's available, and please post in the Toronado section

I suspect that is the packaged or shipping weight, not the item weight. Amazon is even worse. They list item dimensions, but it is the dimensions of the package, not the actual item. Kind of worthless when you are trying to find out the diameter of a brake drum, for example.
