We are proud to present this stunningly beautiful 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado Deluxe running NO RESERVE! For the past two months this car has been turning heads all over the Las Vegas strip and arts district. They just don't get much cooler than this!\r\n\r\nThis car has only been with its owner for a couple of years but during that time he has set about bringing this example back to its former glory. Most of the work has been done by himself in 2024. To endorse this cars sound refurbishment, the owner then drove the car from his home in Oklahoma to Las Vegas NV to participate in the LeMons Rally in March. Not only did the car make it no problem but also survived the rally itself! \r\n\r\n@PSFarm, what would be a first? There have definitely been some 66' Deluxe's on here before... But this one might just be the prettiest! \r\nThank you @Cgebhart for asking why the Cruise Control was removed. Turns out, the cruise control was removed by prior ownership and the hardware was lost, otherwise our owner would have put it back on. The car came with the factory filler plate for cars without the option, which is installed. Great question, thank you!\r\nThank you @CarDogThreePedals for the compliments regarding the photos and videos too. Our team of Lee and JP tend to knock it out of the park; in this case Red Rock Canyon park in Las Vegas. Do you know where the next owner of this Toronado might go to find said passenger side mirror? Might be helpful to the next custodian..\r\nThank you @Carbine123 yes, this car does have a version of blind spot assist, if your wife is not on her phone, she'll definitely tell you to \"Watch out!\" when your backing up. At least mine does and I thank her every time!\r\nThank you @Walt7860 for sharing some of the challenges locating one of the \"original\" passenger side mirrors. Is the factory 425Ci motor fast enough to pull a Raul Julia in the Gumball Rally?! \r\n\"And now my friend, the first rule of Italian driving; what's behind me, is not important!\"\r\n\r\nhttps://youtu.be/wTVDpOaTGsc?si=v2ER5_XcPM6iCHgT\r\n\r\nStop it @Caymanorcarrera your gonna make us blush!\r\n@Bumpy, I think you're right about this color way not being original but would you agree its so distinctive and period correct; eyeball for days! \r\nI'll I'm gong to say @Andrewwj is that if this thing got a flat and I had to crawl under there, I'd definitely want to jacks between me and this car! Safety First!\r\nThank you @Jabsynth for letting us know about the Toronado Owners Association. Could definitely be a great resource for the next owner of this one! And thank you @KAMF for your first-hand comments on the HVAC system. The current owner asked me to clarify that while the HVAC system doesn\u2019t work, he has installed a vacuum setup to force the car into heating and air conditioning modes and the fan still works in \"auto\" as intended. The system also swaps between defrost and normal vent modes with the main control lever in the dash. I hope this helps and offers at least a temporary solution for the next owner. \r\nThank you @deaddds & @KAMF for catching the standard steering wheel and recognizing that this example does NOT have the tilt/telescoping wheel option. This one slipped in there by mistake. Great catch!\r\n\r\nThis car is located in Las Vegas and could be viewed in person or by a third party inspection or mechanic in the general area. Please reach out to us via the \"Contact Seller\" button above. \r\n\r\nPlease keep the questions and comments coming.\r\n\r\nGood luck with your bids!", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1746564878, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 17575511, "authorName": "applebar", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/applebar/", "bidAmount": 12000, "content": "USD $12,000 bid placed by applebar", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1746566141, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 17578518, "authorName": "DRCBEE", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/drcbee/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "At photo 60/261 the odometer numbers are not aligned and appear with a white separation line.
