Hello, new to the site, thought I'd drop a line. I have been into cars since I was a child, have worked as a mechanic for numerous years but now only one the side from my home garage. I have too many project cars to list, but of interest for this forum-I have inherited my Grandfather's 77 Toronado. It is a clean survivor, he bought it in California while deployed during the first gulf war. He parked it in one of his storage sheds in '91. I look forward to discussing all things Olds, and am hoping to learn some things about these unique cars, and maybe some parts. I also have another 77, which was pulled out of a field and is incredibly....bad. I got it for 100$ but maybe should have left it lol.

 

Welcome to the site, we do like pictures.

 

Welcome!!

 

Welcome. We look forward to seeing pics.

 

Yes, let's see some pics of this car. It isn't by chance an XS, is it?
I have a '78 Toronado XS. There are a few of us second-gen Toro owners on this site.

 

If the field car is reasonably complete it was worth the $100 1) to see how things go together and 2) for spares. That's the kind of car the parts or salvage guy will say "you want what for a what?".

Recommend getting 77 Olds factory shop book too. That was about the time Toronados were getting a bit more complicated, esp in ignition and emissions.

 

Welcome to the group.. Good luck with your Toro project...
