This 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado has seen better days, but it’s nothing a thorough detailing can’t fix. The owner of this 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado would love to present this classic lead sled at an upcoming wedding, but based on its current condition, the car would be a safety hazard rather than a showpiece. Fortunately, Larry Kosilla of Ammo NYC was there to provide a full restoration detail on this 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado and get it ready for the wedding.
The 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado was a unique front-wheel-drive luxury coupe from Oldsmobile. This impressive personal luxury coupe was part of GM’s effort to reintroduce front-wheel drive to the US automotive market alongside the Cadillac Eldorado. The Oldsmobile Toronado was built on GM’s E platform, originally designed for rear-wheel-drive vehicles like the Buick Riviera.
The 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado was powered by a massive 7.0-liter V8 engine that produced 385 horsepower (287 kilowatts) and 480 lb-ft (651 Newton meters) of torque. This engine brute was mated to GM’s Turbo-Hydramatic 425 3-speed automatic transmission. The front-wheel-drive Oldsmobile Toronado was the fastest front-wheel-drive car on sale at the time with a top speed of 135 mph.
With a curb weight of 4,500 lb (2,041 kg), the Oldsmobile Toronado was a classic American coupe better suited to cruising than road performance. The Oldsmobile Toronado could sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds and cover the quarter mile in 16.4 seconds at 94 mph.
This particular Oldsmobile Toronado has been parked in a garage where dust and rats have slowly eroded the gorgeous American coupe into a car in need of some serious love. The Ammo NYC team are no strangers to extremely dirty barn finds, and their expertise has allowed them to reverse decades of mouse damage into a beautiful finished product.
After removing all the years of dirt and mouse droppings, the talented Ammo NYC detail team worked to restore the interior and exterior of this forgotten Oldsmobile Toronado. The end result is a beautiful, classic piece of American automotive history ready for wedding day duty.
