1970 Olds Toronado GT, 400 HP V8 front wheel drive, 455 cubic inch Rocket V8. The GT is a rare 1970 Toronado option (W34).  The W34 option provides an additional 25 horsepower from the 455 by using larger intake valves, dual exhaust, a performance cam and a higher stall speed torque converter similar to a W30 442 option in a rear drive Olds. The compression ratio is 10.25:1.  The final drive ratio is 3.07:1.  This car is very fast.  With 400 front drive horsepower, and its low stance there is nothing else like it.  The result is a unique luxury-muscle coupe. Unique because it combines 400 hp with front-wheel drive, resulting in the most hp per pound of any production FWD car until the Cadillac Allante.

Of the 25,433 Toronados built in 1970, only 5,341 were Toronado GT models. The GT provided a 455 cu V8 of 400 hp, up 25 hp from the standard 455. A 400165 performance cam and special torque converter gave this Toronado 0-60 times of 7.5 seconds and a top speed of 135 mph. Dual exhaust with a notched rear bumper and the GT hood badge, further identify the GT.

Other factory options on this car include power windows, cruise control, tilt steering, power seats and stereo 8-track player all in working condition.  The car also has factory air conditioning.  We purchased this car in 1999 from the family that bought it new.  

An auxiliary transmission cooler and Bosch quartz halogen headlights fed directly from the alternator via twin relays have also been added.  There is no indication that a trailer hitch has ever been installed.
