Description
1966 Oldsmobile Toronado Coupe
This 1966 Olds Toronado is in splendid condition, has been very well maintained and has a great sounding exhaust note. 1966 was the first production year for the front wheel drive Oldsmobile Toronado Coupe and the vehicle was produced through 1970. The 1966 Olds Toronado Coupe was equipped with a 425 cubic inch Super Rocket V8 engine with a four barrel Rochester Quadrajet carburetor and delivered power to the front wheels via a Turbo Hydramatic 425 transmission in front wheel drive form. The intake manifold used on the Toronado was somewhat unique in that it was depressed in order to allow for the low hood clearance. Special spherical exhaust manifold gaskets were also used to allow for the movement in the exhaust system and prevented leaks.
The Super Rocket 425 cubic inch (7.0 L) engine used from 1965 through 1967 were the first tall deck big block engines that were produced by Olds. Many will argue that these were the best V8 engine that Oldsmobile produced during the muscle car period even though they were never actually installed by Olds in what was considered a muscle car. All of the 425 engine were equipped with forged steel cranks with harmonic balancers. Great car with a wonderful engine.
