Remove Dash Cluster

Hi Guys, I have not done too much on my 66 Toro over the winter. I purchased a nice AM-FM wonderbar on eBay and had it repaired and serviced by a great radio repair shop in NJ. It needed very little. I also had the back seat reupholstered and added a rear speaker. I purchased the proper 6 X 9 8-10 o...

66 rear seat removal

I need to remove the rear seat from my 66 Toro for recovering. The garage I store it in it near my house but I do not keep a lot of tools there. I know the bottom cushion pops out but can anyone tell me what secures the backrest at the bottom and how the rear speaker is involved? I hope they were no...

Re: Was 8 track offered in 66 Toronado?

Thanks for the info.
There's a nice indeed ash unit on ebay right now but I checked all of my literature and did not see an eight track option for my 66.

Thanks.

Was 8 track offered in 66 Toronado?

Was there an under dash 8-track offered in 66 for the Toronado? I have all the manuals including the accessory manual and do not see this listed.

Thanks,

Vacuum trunk release for a 66

I have a 66 Deluxe Toro.

It did not come with the vacuum trunk release but I just bought the kit on ebay. I have the latch, actuator,and the switch.

Where does it draw the vacuum from? is there a tank just for this or does it tap in to an existing line somewhere?

Thanks,

Brian

Corvette Wheels On a 66 Toronado???

This car is a 66 Toro and seems to have chrome Corvette rims on it. Makes no sense to me as the RWD offset seems like it would not work, but yet, here they are... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Oldsmobile-Toronado-1966-oldmobile-toronado-low-miles-very-clean-cold-a-c-make-offer-/251858287392?forcerrptr=tru...

Re: Decode 1966 Data plate?

Those colors do look better than silver. However, I have recently seen some Aston Martins and Porsche's done in a metallic silver that really shows off the lines of the car. But... Autumn Mist and Dubonet are beautiful colors too. I may be a year away from doing this so I have time. Thanks for the p...
