Looking for a pair of really straight bumpers for a 66.
Rust free trunk lid! ( interchanges with 66-69 I think?)
'75 thru'78 Front-end parts for disc brake conversion: steering knuckles and upper control arms.
Wanted for '66 and 75/78

- Years Owned: My first Toronado was a 1968 W-34 with the bucket seats and center console... (weeps gently) It was a New England rustbucket in 1982 after less than 14 years. So sad. But it is what infected me and before I knew it I had another '68, a '69, a '70 and eventually inherited a friend's '67 and another friends '73. After buying my brand new Grand Prix in 1988 I retired the last of my Toronados and pulled the 455 I had rebuilt along the way and put it into storage in a friend's barn where it is to this day.
In Mid September of 2010 I happened to see a repeat of the show where Jay Leno did his 66 Toronado and had an instant remission of the disease which resulted in my purchase of a 1969 in very good condition. I am now in the process of fully rehabilitating it and hope to have it on the road in the spring of 2011. - Location: Gig Harbor, WA

Just so you know you can also get the front end parts from a similar year Eldorado... and while you are at it, if you choose, you can get rear disks from a 76-78 Eldo and, for the ultimate in Toronado braking with a very minor modification to the exhaust, take the Hydroboost system from an Eldo. Your brakes will be amazing!
I will most likely be doing the rear disk conversion this winter, so will report back what I had to do to make it work. Mostly it is going to involve the mounting plate, but we'll see...

I have my Fuel Injected Toronado. Life is good!

Found a trunklid and a donor eldorado for the brake parts.
Now looking for the pc boards that hold the gauges on the back side of the instrument panel...

Still Need '66 - '67 front bumper
Still looking for a straight front bumper, either 66 or 67. chrome condition less important than straightness, I may end up painting or powder coating it.
Can use center section only, the ends on mine are OK.
If you have one, pm a photo if possible.

The bumpers on my parts car are bent from jacking up the car. They are complete however, and I'm certain that they could be straightened and rechromed.
