1970 OLDSMOBILE TORONADO GT . !!!!!!!NO TITLE AND IS NOT RUNNING!!!!!!! 9184402069I have started the car 4 times. The last time I tried to start it wouldn't turn over. The car is being sold as not running condition. Production: 5,341 Engine: Oldsmobile Rocket 455 CID V-8 Engine Block Code: F Heads Casting Code: E Horsepower: 400 @ 4800 rpm Final Drive: 3.07 Transmission: Special Turbo Hydra-Matic (TH-425) OM CODE The 1970 Oldsmobile Toronado had a GT designation available, which was a high performance option package offered by the factory that can be identified by the RPO code W34 on original build documents. The GT/W34 option is highly sought after and adds a premium to the value of a 1970 Toronado. INCLUDED WITH THE 1970 TORONADO GT PACKAGE: 1. Rocket 455 CID V-8 Engine with 400 Horsepower, Larger Intake Valves, and Performance Cam (Oldsmobile Part #400165) 2. Special Turbo Hydra-Matic 425 Automatic Transmission with a Higher Stall Speed Torque Converter (identified by code "OM") 3. Rear Bumper Cut-Outs for Standard Dual Exhaust System 4. "GT" Badge on Hood to Right of Standard "TORONADO" Emblem The GT option provides an additional 25 horsepower boost over the standard Rocket 455 CID V-8 engine (400 on GT vs. stock 375). This was accomplished by using larger intake valves, a high performance cam, and a higher stall speed torque converter. For 1970, the Toronado GT came with a new torque converter in the Special Turbo Hydra-Matic that reportedly improved the force of acceleration by 1500 lbs. at 5 mph, and held the engine speed at or near the peak torque speed for a greater period of time.A few statistics that 1970 Toronado GT devotees should be aware of: 1. The 1970 Toronado GT provided more horsepower per pound than any other production car built until the Cadillac Allanté. 2. 0-60 times of 7.5 seconds and a top speed of 135 mph were reported by contemporary road test articles.
