My mom had one of those in the 70s. She simply loved the thing, I don't remember what happen to it. Oh, an her's had front dic brake's I remember doing a brake job for her. Thanks for sharing an good luck with her.

I just bought an obscure old limo too, so this is right up my wheelhouse

Correction: the 68 toronado is the third model year for this generation.

The 68 Tornado is the first model year for this generation. The windshield wipers were concealed and parallel. The front brakes were converted to disc.

There’s the exact same 1968 Olds Toronado, custom spec with the 455, green and vinyl landau roof 1 mile away from me. Cannot wait to see what you can do to bring this car up to running and driving again. I like seeing the family working together and enjoying the adventure.

So close! Could have taken it off the trailer and dragged it with the truck to get it to spin over quicker but after working through the night don't blame yas!

There are new cars sold these days with 'square' steering wheels.

You might need to balance the cards and the second cable might Close the carbs

PB is lead

Honda Japan have many spares I did have to find some valves from a breaker in Toronto as there were none.

Отличная красивая машина, она достойна востановления этими ребятами

See how much easier is with quality British engineering!

damn drunks

Have you guys heard of flogging a dead horse.. man that thing is dead ..

Nice job sir 🫢🫢engine Nice show sir 👏👏👏👍👍👍

He had a heart attack and she shut him and the car in there and never looked back for 44 years? 😮 i guess thats one way to save on funeral costs

RUNNING AND DRIVING !!

I don't.like quitters keep going hitest in the carb and more p0wer

Hi test in the carb it will start

Why take the pistons out no reason leave it assembled

The 15.s are factory

i so glad you took upon yourselves to keep the legacy alive for the husband and wife and for the gy who passed away.

I had a customer with one of those and the first time he came in the trans was slipping.after that job,i vowwed to never mess with one of those again.just scrap it!

That's a nice car.

This classic car is screaming "get me back on the road". "I deserve to driven not hidden". A great party vehicle. 🎉

Looked so funny going down the road because it's tiny and for that reason I wouldn't be on the interstate with all them big rigs lol

Back then GM actually put stop leak tablets in the radiators before the cars even left the factory.

Such an awesome car. Good luck with it.

The fact the computer carb even worked still is amazing. I had the same setup in a Pontiac 6000. It caught fire on me twice. I put a Holley on it.

Two minutes in and I’m saying I’m pretty sure they should have brought a trailer.

wasshing it the car

Did any of these models have A/C?

Scrap metal. These cars were junk when new, so imagine today.

Mine was a 1986 and I loved it. Bought it new from the Honda dealer in San Fernando valley in January of 1988 and put over 20K miles on it by Christmas.

No wonder engine's locked, pistons are corroded by all that water in the oil..

We use miles in the UK.

Sounds like it had valves not seating

Good work. The bike looks great.

The old girl had just about dug its own grave Then you came along and said get in the back we’re going for a ride ❤❤

I wanted a 73 124spyder when I was a Jr in college in 1973 …my mom had a fit, so I ended up with a 73 Nova SS Hatch… which is in my garage right now… I did hold forth with a pita 72 TR6 for a while…🙃

Ummm 13mm it will work but it’s a 1/2 inch

Can't watch anymore

God why did it have to be a Toro, The engines in the Olds Toro was used in the 442,,68 was the first of 455, It's foot pounds, not pound feet, please act like you took auto shop. B.T.W. that quadrajets carb is a great carb, that one is 800 c f m. Ford even used them on some hipo engines Respect it. You guys talk too much to hear the dirt in the cylinders

you guys are awesome....good job....fun video...... can't wait for more

Jesus timing guys timing! Sorry i cant watch any longer

Two 13mm bolts on the hood? Not on a 63 or 64 Chrysler! 1/2"

not going to complain about the things Im hearing most of these guys whining about. the small amount of cranking you did on that engine before you put gasoline/ trans fluid mix in it hurt nothing and the trans fluid down the gullet surely lubricated those cylinders just fine from that point on, the nay sayers just prove their ignorance when they whine that you didnt pull the plugs. it moved, wasnt stuck, was dry, got oil via the carb before firing, was then lubed, the maybe 20 revolutions before the oil got there did not damage a thing. if there was rust there, it was going to get damaged by the loose rust bits scratching whether oiled or not. common sense is not very common anymore. Before you all tell me im wrong, ask yourself how the cylinder of a 2 stroke gets lubricated, then keep your yaps shut so you do not look stupider than you already do. THEY LUBRICATED THE CYLINDERS BEFORE THEY RAN IT, they just didnt waste a bunch of time uselessly pulling plugs that didnt need to be removed. But hey, content makers, maybe next time when a rig doesnt want to start, after giving her some t-fluid 2 stroke fuel down the gullet, just use a squirt bottle of gasoline down the ol' bowl vent and fill the carb bowls and let the carb do carb things (if it will), at very least, it will start the process of loosening the crud thats plugging the carb up and soften and lubricate the accelerator pump. just a reminder that the bowl vent is there, and then will run a whole bowl of fuel before dying
