Well, I spotted this 1969 Toronado on Craiglist and just couldn't pass it up. Tags expired in 2009 so I need to clean it and blow the cobwebs out then decide if its a project or parts car. Right now its looking good enough to save as a project car. I do have another 1969 and a 1968 that are both parts cars so I may be able to pull items from them for this one. I'll keep you guys posted as to what I find after I clean it up. John

That's one clean Toronado

 

Nice

 

Check it carefully. Most of the '69 W-34s that have been found have no vinyl top, and basic wheel covers. We found a W-34 like that in 1976. Cinnamon Firethorn. What a fun car. We could not find pump gas good enough for that high compression 455.
That car looks very straight, solid and original. Congrats!

 

Nice Toronado hope you can save that one. Look forward to seeing what you findout.

 

Looks good, John!

ck the trans tag for common OJ code or the W34 OM code.

 

Now here's a game changer. Unless I find something really bad wrong with the car it should be saved and restored. Thank you twintracks and Octania for suggesting it might be a W34. That wasn't even on my radar as a possibility. John

Nice find John. A little tinkering, she might just fire.

 

Congrats!! Looks good enough to save from here.

 

Thank you for your comments guys. The car does appear to have the W34 option so I decided to create a new thread discussing what I find. If your interested please check out the photos in the new thread:
