How many Toronado XS 1977 is still alive?
I get one two weeks ago, and now itīs hard
to find information off this modell.

 

Welcom to our website. Unfortunately, I am not sure how many Toronados were made in 1977. They are a pretty car though. I know Oldsguy has a book with production numbers in it. Joe Padavano should probably know too. I am sure someone will chime in and tell you.

You must post some pictures now!

BTW, that is an interesting avatar...

 

I believe the XS models had the fancy angled rear window glass as their distinguishing feature and produced for only two model years. I have no production numbers either but would suggest very limited production of this model.

 

I have a 77 toronado right now on my trailer. I have removed a lot of parts. I will be scraping it out this week. IF you need any parts for yours, let me know asap.

As you know they deleted the 455 for 77 and they replaced it with the 403.

thanks and enjoy your toronado.

there were 34,085 toronados made in 1977.

2,713 of these were XS models.

ONly 1 XSR was built.

As to how many are still on the road?? Good question. But they figure less than 25% are still around if that.

So maybe 7,000? or less total.
XS maybe 600?

 

Thankīs for everyone, who accept me to your website!
Sorry, if I write something wrong, itīs because my own language,
whitch is as you know, Finnis. And Olds64: I take an other Avatar, but the old one was picture of "Kolli", and it means male cat here in Finland.
Today I find out a lot of my Toronado.
Seller gives me all the papers and testimonys of the car.
Itīs 1977 Oldsmobile Toronado XS, 403 cid V8, automatic transmission(TH425).
Made 1977 2713
1978 2453 and thatīs all.
Lenght 578 cm
Weight 2153,20 kg

We are now working with interior, and vinyl on the roof.
It needs also paintwork, but there is only a little bit rust on it.
Moonroof dosent leak.
Engine runs good, and itīs nice to drive!!

The car is white, and the interior gona be black, same as the vinyltop.

Mileage is 100389, thatīs sure.
I send photoīs later.

 

Make sure there isn't rust under the vinyl top. It needs to be fixed before you put a new vinyl top on it.

 

A specialist makes all the cover-job in a little workshop
40 míles from here.
Last time he did my Lincolnīs vinyl top, and it looks great!
Then there was no rust under.
The vinyl top is now white, but itīs gonna be black!

 

We look forward to seeing pics.

I was in teh "Only 1" XSR 1977 Toro (was in primer), back in July of 1995.
Don Ross died a few years back, I do not know of the car's wherabouts.

 

Welcome, oldīs friend. You find here, fine! Kolli is follow me, byeing OLDSMOBILE. And he write English very well, but i cant...

 

Kolli, welcome to our site. We are looking forward to pictures of your fine car!

 

Your english works fine here. Can't be as bad as american slang anyway. Keep up the communication and you will get better at it anyway. I doubt that many here can speak or write in finnish.

 

Iīm still waiting that Olds comes with new interior.
It seems taking longer than I was hoping.

 

Sounds perfectly normal!
The shop that redid my seats took over 4 weeks to carefully rework the seats and the rear armrest panels.
It took me 4 months to finally get it all back together...

Post pics when you can!

 

I promise to send new photos, when Olds is home again!
I hope it become soon.
Now I have nothing to do, because I have done all to my Pontiac Trans Am -84, which only wait for next
summer in my garage.
The car which I use "all seasons" is Cadillac DeVille -94. Itīs
nice to drive, and there is only 84000 miles behind. And it works fine.
But now I must just wait.
