how heavy is the toronado ??? it looks really big but I guess you're right it looks very good from the side, the front is contreversial but radical I guess. leno's toro is a Twin Turbo big block 1060hp enough to move that heavy car very fast
G.M. concept version of the toro was a trip ,belive it or not they had it as short as poss,and the front end was covered with barge rope,they wanted to use it as some sort of a tug or push vech,cuz of the F.W.D. no lie saw it big book of concept versions of production cars,gald it made it as a large platform car, had about 3or 4 of them nice cars realey liked the 77 with the cutback rear window,called the X.S E.?
Thanks for posting the video. - Are you a member of TOA (Toronado Owners Club)???
Watching that video, and some others of Toronados has relit the fire to get my parents to get Moms' 1970, Ming Jade, Toronado out of storage and back on the road. She/we parked it in 1987 when I refused to let her sell/trade it in on a new Dodge Shadow. - Dad is worried that if he gets it back out she will want to drive it everyday... - I say "LET HER!!!!"
I had a '66 Starfire which a towing company stole out of a garage which I rented in Detroit where the tenants were subsequently evicted during my car's storage. So, I can understand your rage.
A kind neighbor of theirs was a witness and I filed a stolen car report.
It seems like the only place left on this earth to drive a rare classic without endanering it would be late at night in the Australian outback, anymore
whats the band and song playing in the background? Sweet toronado. I'm restoring a classic myself. a 1972 buick skylark. I'm turning it into a GS clone. Sweet ride man
That sucks, I have a 66 Toronado almost perfect condition have the parking break go out and rolled down my street and hit a tree messed up the front bad. Still havent got it fixed yet but the the front bumper grill and head lights are out.
shoulda painted the olds flat brown, put white walls on it, and left the hub caps on, TRUE era Toronado style

Thank you auto insurance. I would not want to see the Saturn: Anything left?

@coffeefish I like how the saturn sky looks better than the soltice. But, if I could pick any version of the car, it'd be the Opel GT.

You're lucky that parts are still available.

Glad to see you fixed it rather than junking it.
Not many people appreciate how innovative the Toronado was in those early years.
