Some cars give back what you put into.

Beautiful car, I want to have one one day, so I value your experiences.

Had a 66 some years ago , would love to have one again !!

Sell it to me Thad ...

Very nice. It's a shame the original owner punched a hole in the rear panel for the trailer plug... Of all places. sigh.

yep should have gone black. tan and silver yuk. otherwise great car.

I had a black GT350 with gold stripes. Mine had a roll bar, surprised you did not mention that when showing the interior. Also the stripes on my had a more distinct edge. Kick myself for selling for a low price back in 1970.

I thought the battery was in the trunk on those Shelby

The '66 Toranado did incorporate a futuristic "no vent windows, look" With GM, the Chevorlet Nova was the last car to have this window feature, after 1972 Chevorlet finally eliminated the "side-vent windows on the '73-'74 Novas and up....

I want a fuckin school bell on my car

Hi there. I’m interested in this restomod. Is there anything I should be looking for? You mentioned the drivability was not quite there- how about also the clicking noise? Is it fixed? Thanks.

What is the number under the hood on that Shelby

Interesting video nice to see an original Shelby instead of a clone . Didn’t realise how standard they are inside , I have a 66 Fastback here in the UK and it’s exactly the same apart from the rev counter . No air con , no power steering but better access around the engine without extra pulleys, pipes and belts . Don’t know why Shelby replaced rear quarter vents for glass ? I can only assume it was so he could glance over his shoulder to see cars trying to overtake in a race , I don’t think it would be a weight saving modification. No one seems to know ! Chris

These cars were made with quality. The front and rear was all metal. Not that plastic crap they put on todays vehicles.

Great.looking car ! I'd love to have one in a deep blue sparkle and factory - installed air. But l would'nt drive it every day and no one else would get the keys. An accident w that classic would be hard to find replacement parts.

My grandaughters father had one about 15 years ago and it looked good back then.

Dull colored abomination. Pseudo-Mustang.

Beautiful work Beautiful car.

Thank you for sharing the cost, you are a stand up guy in my book

No burnout? Nice pretty boy car

Very cool! Thank you for sharing.

I like the matte finish in silver. Silver is a great sports car color. Like how Porsche silver.

these Shelby's never came a manual choke

Do you still have it??? Yes the drums all the way around was the real 66 complaint but like nearly all cars of the time that was the 'norm'

I was blown away when these came out and it is still my favorite car ever.

I drove 1 for a year, built the 427 Cobras, so got to drive 1, street raced it, never got beat, wound it 7500 RPM, plugs only lasted 2000 miles, also got 4th in a gymcan with only race cars. Was a lot of fun!

Chrome mirrors will look awesome

Should have left it stock, these matted paint surfaces are now considered a retired trendy thing

In my world, Elenore is yellow...

wouldnt this be big sister? since its older

Would have liked to see and hear it “go like hell”.

اذا كانت FORD MUSTANG قد صنعت ال MUSTANG بطريقه جديده ، فلا ملامة علىGM ان تصنع ال TORNADO بطريقه جديده . بقليل من الانتقائيه في انتقاء المصممين فإن GM ستفجر قنبله اذا فهمت هذا الكلام ، وستنتج سياره رائعه .

*I had one for awhile that was 4-yrs. old when I got it...and man the bills were killing me!* *It went thru ball-joints the same way I eat Ritz crackers because the front-end would never stay in alignement and I needed front-tires in only a year and the front-end would oscillate over sixty even on smooth pavement* *It ran great...but it was just too much in repairs for me*

When you bought the over the counter 3 two barrel carb setup OR when you bought an over the counter "cobra dress up kit" for an engine you got those 2 emblems with it. When the dealer installed those kits they usually put those emblems on higher up on the fender ( just above where the 289 emblem would go on a regular mustang). I wonder if that car had a 3 2's set up on it in the past. Where did you get the fuel pump rebuilt?

transmission was put together for 66 toronado in 50's not for eldorado it was introduced in 67 year after tornado,first project prototype was created based on buick riviera!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This car makes my heart swoon!! My uncle had this cat, and my grand aunt had 66 Buick Riviera at the same time, but there was something extra special about the Olds Toronado. It was like an American version of James Bond's Aston Martin DB6.

Probably ditch the wife before the next build they only come for a look for five minutes every six months and fuck with your ideas, cool car and easily 200k spend good luck to anyone who could do better for less, to me the interior is the elephant in the room , there are plenty of Burgundy reds that would have been killer, next time i recond a 66 mustang stripped out race car , love Steve strodes martini mustang, stillthink ditch the wife, 😂

You DO know that that is NOT an original Shelby GT-350. Right?. It's a nice car. Just not original.

Interior wise, I would have went with black also. I think you need side view mirrors.

I have a friend that has 341! So cool

My parents bought a new Tornado in 1967, I was 11 years old. My friends were impressed by the style of the car. Oh yes..it had Air Conditioning!

Well done review, beautiful car and neighborhood 👍🏽

It' certainly is a stunning design... even the bumpers are works of art!

For those interested it was the fuel pump....

My dad was a designer with GM in the early 60s, he worked in Preliminary Design studio that worked up the concepts for this car. This design along with the Buick Riviera design of the same timeframe.

Timeless.

Slow cold idle speed.

There is no gas at the carb until it starts. Modern gas evaporates when sitting so some of this is "as designed." There are plugs in the bottom of the carb that many rebuilders don't address. They should be epoxied so they don't leak. Other than that the fuel pump could be leaking gas into your oil when it sits. Its not an ignition problem, its a no fuel at the carburetor problem. My 69 GTO does this also. Its mostly normal. Just crank it continuously until the fuel can be pumped up to the carb.

What a beautiful car! Still looks space age ready… love the headlights. Reminds me of a friends 66 corvette when I was a kid.

thanks so much for this video and info on your Shelby. i'm an old guy now and saw my first Shelby in the summer of '66 on Ft. Gordon Ga. military post but it had different wheels. it was only later that i found out thru photos that it was a '66. i was aware of these Shelby Mustangs in "65/66 due to reading sports car mags when i was in high school but never saw one until Ft. Gordon and i have never seen another in motion on a public street. i was always a Chevy guy in my youth but the early '65/'66 Shelbys were my dream car to own especially due to lighter weight of these cars and the 306 horse power engine. you are very fortunate to have one and i'm jealous. Ha.
