Vehicle Description
With its bright paint, A/C interior, and absolutely unique styling,
this 1969 Oldsmobile Toronado hits all the right notes for a cool
cruising classic. That's especially true since it also still has
its numbers-matching big block under the hood.
Hidden headlights, a seriously long hood, and extra flare in the
fenders - oh yeah, the Olds stylists knew how to make a very cool
car. And the details on this one only get better. Like on the
bumpers, where the front has an intricate design with amazing
symmetry, and way the rear one hugs the body as an integral part of
the design. In fact, this example is complete - right down to the
rear insignia marker lights and turbine-style wheels. It's all
wrapped in a modern and glossy white with a nice contrasting black
pinstripe that highlights some of this car's best curves.
The black pinstripe on the outside is also a nice preview of the
color inside. This is a highly original interior, and it's
preserved quite well. The seats are correct, including the
comfortable cloth inserts for where you sit. In fact, comfort was
the big goal for the premium Toronado. It's front-wheel drive
layout provides for a flat floor, and its large size mean everyone
gets excellent legroom. But no matter how many people are along for
the ride, you still remain the king. The split-bench power adjusts
to the ideal position, and it has an armrest to provide the driver
with the feeling of a personal luxury car. The upgraded steering
wheel gives you an awesome view of the unique vertical speedometer,
as well as the surrounding gauges and upgraded aux readouts. And
you'll love that power windows let you show off the hardtop profile
without ever leaving the driver's seat. And since the factory air
conditioning is blowing cold, you can do this all through the
summer season.
Under the hood is the original numbers-matching 455 cubic-inch V8.
This has a well-preserved and correct presentation, right down to
the metallic blue on the block. And the freshness of the supporting
components like the belts, wires, and hoses tell you it has been
under the right care. The Super Rocket big block makes some of the
best power of the era thanks to the factory Rochester Quadrajet
four-barrel carburetor, and the strong three-speed automatic
transmission has no trouble getting the power to the front wheels.
It's a unique setup that was an engineering marvel for its time.
But what's really important is that the big power and smooth ride
this coupe has today is exactly what makes you so fondly remember
Oldsmobile. And with power steering and front disc brakes, this is
really an effortless anytime classic.
Beautiful, powerful, unique, and above all, quite affordable - this
Toronado is a terrific classic for value and distinction. So don't
miss you chance, call today!
