May pick up a 68 Toronado, trying to gauge if there is any interest in parts?

Probably...
The front bumper center rocket emblem is ALWAYS missing or damaged. Has buyers.

Big Valve C heads

The best 455 made, probably

More likely than most to have a forged steel crankshaft.

Chrome wheels and disk brakes are good for a sale, always.

Was told the intake has been off 20 years. Big reason why I 'm not sure on pulling the trigger

If it is not stuck, or cracked, I would buy it as a core. Just need to come to a agreed price. Let me know what you end up doing.

Aw hell THAT's not a problem

"probably the best 455 they made"
"forged crank"

Get your butt over there and procure it, or hand it to someone who will...

dally not, lest ye regret

If it has a Tilt/Tele column, I'd be interested in the steering wheel if it isn't shattered. A few cracks would be fine. Intact taillight lenses are hard to find too.
I probably have a list of other trinkets I need. Please PM me if you get the car.

Thanks,
Brian
