How can you tell if a 70 toro has a W34?

The most obvious 1970 clues are the Toronado GT badge on the LF of the hood and the cutout rear bumper. Also look for code OM on the transmission ID plate. If all these things are in place, and the engine #s match the VIN, the car is a W34. Estimated production around 5000.<P>1968, look for the OM trans code and cutout bumper, and also for the ram-air duct and special radiator w/ vacuum switch to open the headlight grilles if engine gets hot. Total production 111.<P>1969 is the hardest year to ID. The OM trans code is about the only sure way to do it. Only W34 were supposed to have dual exhaust that year, but the cutout bumper was not used and a lot of regular 69 Toro got converted to DE. Estimated production around 2800.<P>There's some debate about whether the package included Y70 paint stripe option. My 69 did not have it.<P>As you see these are fairly rare beasts. Too many of them have given up their 455s to a 350 or six cylinder Cutlass. [img]images/icons/mad.gif" border="0[/img]
