This incredibly original Toronado was purchased from the second owner who owned it since 1976. Only 2,143 miles have been placed on this time capsule since '76.The Toronado was created by Oldsmobile as its full-size personal luxury car. Toronados also have the distinction of being the first front-wheel drive auto produced in the United States since 1937, making these models historic.The first year of Toronados (1966) structurally resemble Buick Rivieras of the same era. Before "Toronado," other names considered were Magnum and Raven. Firestone made specialty 8.85-inch by 15-inch tires for these cars called the Toronado Front Drive tire. The sidewalls were stiffer than normal. The engine in the Toronado was more powerful than Oldsmobile's Starfire and Ninety-Eights.Oldsmobile produced more than 40,000 Toronados for sale in 1966. That same year, it won Motor Trend's Car of the Year Award. The following generation looked more like a luxury car than a muscle car.This unique mark in auto history can be yours thanks to MotoeXotica Classic Cars. In stock, we have a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado with only 59,653 miles. This car that was originally a design painting evolved into a powerful full-size car, and your collection can evolve with this Toronado.The exterior is an Dubonnet (deep burgundy wine) color and shines in the afternoon sun with little-to-no imperfections. It appears to have had a professional repaint at some point in time. The paint is in overall excellent shape. The body style is a two-door sport coupe custom. You can feel at ease controlling a tornado with the front-wheel drive and the Rocket V8 engine at your disposal. Take to an open stretch of road and feel the rush of adrenaline with this powerful engine.The interior is all original and is a complimenting Burgundy color. The cloth/vinyl interior shows little - if any - wear for an almost 50-year old vehicle. The quality of the seats and original carpeting will transport the driver and passengers back to the late '60s.This car feels like a time capsule with how new it feels. You'd think you're driving this car around on a nice afternoon in '66 as your heading to a classic car cruise this weekend. This low-mileage Toronado combines the power of a muscle car with the elegance of luxury. GET OUT AND DRIVE!
