Guest imported_DaveZZZ Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Hey Guys.Just wondering what the value of a 66 Toronado is. There is one near me that's been for sale for months, and it makes me so sad to see it going unloved. It looks pretty good, although I have not looked too closely. But at $4000, I would think that one of the Toro lovers would scoop it up. My very poor brother-in-law wants it, but he doesn't have the money, and I want to save it, but I'm lucky if I can find and hour or two a week to put into the ninety-eight.I guess I am just curious if these are especially valued, especially being the first year of a really unique car.-Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I don't know if this will help at all, but I'll try. I bought my Toro from an Olds collector 2 years ago and paid $3,400 for it. The car was 90% done. After I had it for a year a local Oldsmobile dealer offered me $10,000 for it. I obviously didn't take it. The N.A.D.A. price guide lists value as follows for a Standard model w/ a 425: low value-$5,406average value-$11,500high value-$16,938The values for a Deluxe with a 425 are a little higher:low-$6,094average-$12,875high-$19,250The Deluxe model has 9600 on the body plate and a Standard has 9400. You can find more info about body plate identification at toronado.org under the "faq" section.Hope this helped in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleSnorkel Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 I have always been under the presumption that the standard model was more valuable than the delux do to the fact that fewer standards were produced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Yeah, when I first saw the production numbers that's what I figured too, but these values came right off the N.A.D.A. web page. I don't know, it would make more sense that lower production = higher value but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleSnorkel Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I usually go off the old car price guide, they show the delux in #1 condition as 16,000$ The standard in #1 condition at 16500$ I like that mag cuz it will put you in the ball park when buying one of these old cars. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Yeah, that's probably a better place to look. As much as I love my car, I wouldn't expect anyone to pay nearly 20 grand for it. But, I guess if ya find the right guy... <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
