According to the April 1968 issue of Car And Driver, the Oldsmobile Toronado “should be the last word in the neighborhood one-upmanship contest.” The Oldsmobile Toronado Coupe was a full-size personal luxury car designed to rival similar offerings from Buick, with its Riviera, and Ford, with its Thunderbird. Introduced for the 1966 model year, the Toronado featured a massive departure from American cars of the era: it was front-wheel drive! Although commonplace today, the front-engine front-wheel drive configuration was still relatively novel in the ’60s. At the time, virtually every American offering was rear-wheel drive, with only foreign economy cars, such as the BMC Mini and Renault 16, featuring a front-wheel drive configuration. Nevertheless, Oldsmobile had been working on the concept for some years, and the Toronado featured the layout. The impressive looks and interesting drivetrain layout make our featured 1970 Oldsmobile Toronado Coupe a valuable addition to any car collection. It is reported to have undergone recent maintenance and sports many original parts.
Featuring a two-door body shell and classic American muscle car-inspired lines, the Oldsmobile Toronado Coupe is a sight to behold. The front end is dominated by quad headlamps and a prominent and pointed grille. The earlier Toronados featured hidden headlights, which were eliminated for the 1970 model year. Also new were larger, more squared-off wheel arches and revised rear quarter panels. The current owner reports this car has been given a new paint job in its original silver color. The interior of the 1970 Oldsmobile Toronado Coupe heavily emphasizes luxury. Steering inputs are made via a three-spoke wheel, while the car sports a new instrument cluster on the dashboard, which includes AutoMeter gauges for RPM, water temperature, oil pressure, and charging voltage. The center console features a period Oldmobile-branded FM radio, with knobs for volume and fader adjustment, while an aftermarket audio player is also reported.
Under the hood, you’ll find a 455ci (7.5-liter) Rocket V8 engine, which was rated when new to output 375 hp with 510 lb-ft of torque. The engine sends its power to the front wheels via a three-speed automatic Turbo-Hydramatic 425 transmission. The current owner reports a recent oil change, along with a new set of tires and new brakes.
