JonW Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) I recently acquired this amazing all-original survivor 1969 Toronado. It's a 24,000 mile car in incredible condition. In addition to the condition and mileage, there are a couple of unique items about the car. First, it is a W-34. The W-34 performance package boosted the stock horsepower from 375 to 400. According to the Toronado chapter of the OCA, only about 20 W-34s are accounted for, so it is very rare. Second, Oldsmobile literature does not show a green vinyl top being available with Covert Beige paint, but the green vinyl top is noted on the window sticker as being factory installed. This certainly is a 1-of-1 car. I wasn't particularly looking for a car when I ran across this in Hemmings, but I couldn't pass it up.

keiser31 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Leads me to be curious. Why is this posted in the Restoration section of the forum. Doesn't look like it needs anything, but a driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A beautiful condition all original low mileage vehicle...there's nothing better than that, especially when it's a comfortable, powerful and stylish '60's Toronado. Congratulations!
