If you had access to a bunch of toronados, or if you wanted to add or replace parts on your toronado, what parts would be the hardest to find and which options, etc. would be of the most value to find??

I will start this out even though I am not extremely familiar with them. I will leave it to the rest of you who are experts on the toros.

1) 8 track tape players. years?

2)69 rear heated glass/

3) 67-8 disc brakes.



Please add to the list.

This should be interesting if everyone will participate.

Thanks

Tim

 

Unbroken Tail light lens and exspenive when you can find them. Guide 39SAE 68
I don't think the 67 had Disk brakes even as an option. But the 68 did nad they are hard to find.

 

1967 Toronado options:

1) UHV ignition system

2) CCC air cleaner and plumbing

 

67 could have disc brakes. They are the same 4-piston calipers as 68.

Good 66-7 tailpanels.

66-68 front hub bearings

66-70 rear horizontal shocks.


I'm sure I'll think of more.

 

1966 turn signal actuator.

 

Door panels for '66 Toronado, and dash-surround.
I am looking for green door panels left and right (need to be excellent) and a dash-surround/pad also in green. Car is a '66 deluxe (power windows).
Thanks, Mick

 

How about:

The rocker trim retainer clips,
Replacement original gas tank,
Replacement seat covers

Starting in 1967 Disc Brakes was and option for that year (also for daul master brake cylinder too).

 

1968-70 OM code THM 425 transmission!
1968 W-34 Ram Air intake/Force-Air Induction(I think the part numbers are OEM # 400124 and 400125)
1968 - left side raditor switch (1968 W-34 only)
1968 - 70 factory transmission cooler

Oh and Rocketradier favortive: 1968 W-34 rear bumper (notches)

 

Motor/trans mounts all gen1's

 

How about a passager-side seat that relinces BACK (as well as forward)?
My gold W-34 has this, and blue W-34 from TX(I saw on Ebay) are the only Toros I have seen this option.

 

X's 3 on the front hub bearings for a '66! I had one for 6 months, and it sat in the air on the rack at the shop that does our mechanical work for 4 of those months, looking for a bearing! Found it at Rare Parts in California.....NOT CHEAP!

 

What kind of seat does that? Bucket? Strato bench? Or is their a different style?
So was this 68 70? What year cars show this option available?

Pics?? Love to see yours in action since I have never seen it before.

 

Ratchetmaster, I dismantled a 1966 several years ago and it had the reclining option for the passenger on a strato-bench seat. I believe the mechanism was the same as used in the A-body bucket seats with the reclining option.

I have seen this option on F-bodies but have never seen one an A-body, B or others before.
Love to see pics.

While I can't help anyone at the moment with front brake rotors -- I do have 1 set of factory brand spanking NEW in the orignal KELSEY-HAYES boxes, === 4 piston === CALIPERS..... Who needs?

I also have quite a few sets of the old "D1" or "728D1" N.O.S. Asbestos Brake Pads --- so you don't rip up these absolutely non-available rotors....

Also have the Idler and Pitman Arm (18737 & 18738 TRW) or (K5209 & K5210 MOOG) ((Both OBSOLETE)) ................

New to Classic Oldsmobile..... and you guys are going to love my parts...

Best to call me --- Craig -- 516 - 485 - 1935.....

 

 

The seat I have is the Stato bench/bucket combo

 

I know where a complete 68 Tornado is. I was thinking about getting it for the motor. If there is enough interest in other parts I might get the entire car. The interior looks to be complete. There is some minor body damage to the drivers front quarter and the hood (creased). It is a southern car so shouldn't too rusty....

Let me know what to look for...
Steve

 

are the rear bumpers for a 1968 -1969 tornado interchangeable

 

I just pulled the motor from a 66 toro that was in our local pull ur own parts place, there is a lots of good stuff like the grill and head light bezels and hood maybe doors...If some one needs some thing off this thing let me know ... it may not b there long, pull-a-part rotates cars quick!!

 

How rare is the cruise control unit for the 66 toro???

Those are actually still available through Fusick auto sales. I just bought a pair a few months... no... about a year ago now I suppose... but, they're still there. And only $60
http://www.fusick.com/toro_mechanical.htm

(okay, not the right picture... but, they do have the right part. I can take pictures of mine if you'd like)

Also, still available (ish) from o'Reily's... The motor mount at least. (Haven't checked on this.. if they are hard to find, I might order some up quick before the last dis-appear:

As for parts to add....

Flarestat components (hazard lights) (I can't seem to find these, and I want them for my '66!)
Bucket Seats/consoles for '66 (There were only like... 40-ish made I believe?)

 

I am finally cleaning out the barn now and have doors , hood and full radiator support (w/headlamps) for a 69.
Bumper is dinged , but usable otherwise.
Engines... I have 3 or 4 425s and a couple a 455s with transmissions to match em.
As with the TEN parts cars I just scrapped, these are all destined for the same fate.
Also have some good rebuilt radiators.

 

I have some misc stuff left over from my 68 Toro ..... what about seat belts with the GM tag on them , still have radiator , front bumper , front and back seats , motor , and some small plastic interior parts too.
