The Oldsmobile Toronado debuted in 1966 as the largest front wheel drive car ever and the first American full-size front wheel drive car since the 1930s Cord. The 68 model Toronado is arguably the most desirable of all 1 st generation Toronados. It has the aggressive styling and big 455 cubic inch V8 rated at 375 hp that put this car on the muscle car map. The engine compartment is clean and dressed and ready to show. This gorgeous 68 Toronado has been given a fresh coat of correct #G2 willow gold paint and a new vinyl top that shows almost like new. The all original interior is in great shape with all the cloth and vinyl looking very good. This car has all the luxuries Oldsmobile is famous for including A/C freshly restored, power steering, power brakes and rear defroster. There is a Custom Autosound “Hideaway” 140 watt AM/FM stereo with a trunk mounted 10 disc CD changer and 4 new Eclipse speakers all controlled by a flip-phone style RF remote control with a 50 foot range. All stereo components are completely concealed so that all you see is the original stereo in its original spot. They made cars big back then and this car is no exception sporting an obscene 211.4 inches of American steel from front to back with a long 119 inch wheelbase providing the smoothest ride available at the time. The original mag rims have been given new chrome 3 spoke spinners and roll on new Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires. The signature front grill was split in 68 and given a honeycomb insert unique to that year only. The exterior chrome including the front and rear bumpers, rocker moldings, vinyl top moldings and most of the glass moldings show bright and clean with some minor pitting in the side mirror. The underbody is clean and sports a mean dual exhaust. This was Oldsmobile in all its glory with bold styling, a powerful engine and a distinct focus on driver and passenger comforts with modern day luxuries that were ahead of their time. This classic 68 Olds Toronado is ready to show and go in you hometown today. Additional pix, a video of the engine running and some sweet Hot Rods and Choppers are all available at our website.
