I had an Old Toronado, too. It was the hot GT W-34 455V-8 with 400HP/500ft-lbs torque. They took the Toro engines out for the Hurt 442's. Mine had a 3" dual Magnaflow exhaust and a MSD ignition.OnYrMrk wrote:I have owned Riviera's in the past and a very good friend of mine is building up a show car with a 66 or 67 Toronado...the front wheel drive kind. All JL Audio with a 500/1 to an 8w7, z components, and eclipse head unit. It takes balls to cut the dash of a classic like that...so I gave you some rep points to start out replenishing those balls again...I like the car...love the paint, look forward to more pics. Again, welcome to the forum!
Anyway my Toro was a my beater car.I kept in shape mechanically just for transportation and fun---great front wheel burnouts. I had put together a stereo of bits and parts lying around-- an Alpine 7915, Soundstream D200II, A Rockfordfosgate Punch 150, a/d/s AL6 (6 1/2". 1" components) fiberglassed in the rear arm rests, a/d/s 300is in front lower doors, Audio Control 2XS, Soundstream SPL 10" in a sealed box and Monster 401 XLN. Sounded decent.
car looked like shit:My Dad called it the "Green Hornet"
