Hello from Indiana,
my name is jason I just bought a 1966 toronado deluxe, the paint is horrid, interior fair for age, body and frame good. Just ordered my shop manual, which is good because there is an elecrical gremlin and I'm sure a vacuum leak or two

Car looks nice but that paint is awful. Was it part of a roadside attraction?

I had to Google Dubonnet to see what it looked like. Its really sharp looking.

not sure on the backstory of the paint bought it at auction I think it was a crazy cat lady, the were dirty paw prints on the body and smelled like a cat had been sleeping in it.

Wow. You have some trim to find too, and a lot more to clean if you're going back to factory color. www.toronado.org and you'll find people who can help with parts and advice for yer new front-drive toy.
