773-267-2684 WE SHIP WORLDWIDE! OFFERS WELCOME! Evolve Motors &
Chicago Car Club are pleased to present this 1967 Oldsmobile
Toronado Deluxe! Toros are some of our favorite American cars here
at Evolve Motors. There's something about the proportions and
dramatic, swooping lines of the front end that just look so right.
We purchased this particular �67 Deluxe from a gentleman in
Massachusetts, who had owned the car for just shy of twenty years.
The car served as a summer driver throughout that time, and was
always garaged kept. When we purchased the car the CA blue plates
were on it; we figure this was likely a California car before being
relocated to Massachusetts in the 1990s. As it sits, this car is in
very, very nice condition. With some minor signs of age (primarily
interior) attended to, this could easily be a show-level example.
**Please note, in the photos the Toronado badge on the rear is
missing; we have since put a new one on** Exterior: Sauteme, or
"Champagne" as it's sometimes referred to as, is a fantastic color
on these cars. This car was repainted the original color in the mid
2000s and shows phenomenally well. Paint has a metallic finish to
it, and is nothing short of stunning in direct sunlight. There is
no paint run or visible clear coat aging; paint was clearly done to
a high standard. There are no scratches or chips, this car has been
babied. The only "imperfections" to really knock on the exterior
are the fact that the front grille shows its age slightly, and the
chrome panels above the taillights are technically supposed to be
body colored in order to be factory-correct. Black vinyl top is in
excellent shape, with no blemishes or damage of any sort. Wheels
are in great shape, and tires are close to new. Interior: The
interior presents well, but just not quite as well as the exterior.
As you'll note from the photos, the black dash face surrounding the
gauge cluster is fading, and there are a couple cracks in the
leatherette wrapping around the cluster. The dash itself, as in the
more forward portion, is free of any cracks or blemishes. Black
cloth/vinyl seats are in good shape, though the forward corner of
the passenger seat shows some light fraying, and the driver's side
backseat shows a bit more. Headliner is nice and tight. Black
carpet is in very nice shape throughout, with the exception of at
the bottom of the passenger's door panel, where it's torn. Wipers,
gauges, pop-up headlamps, blower/heat/defrost, all interior lights,
and all signals are functional. Power antennae, radio, analog
clock, and A/C are not functional. We really like the rolling
speedometer in these cars. Five-digit odometer reads 26,807, true
mileage is unknown, as the engine is not original to the car. Under
the Hood / Underbody: While this Toronado was originally equipped
with a 425cid 7.0L V8, it has since been swapped out for an Olds
455cid 7.5L "Rocket" V8, which was the higher-spec of the Toro's
two available engine options at the time. Mileage on 455cid is
unknown. Both the 425cid-equipped cars and 455cid-equipped cars
used the same gearbox, a 3-speed TH-425 automatic. The car runs and
drives very well. It starts right up, idles low and steady, stays
cool, and tracks nice and straight down the road. Brakes feel good,
with no hooking in either direction. Suspension is nice
