Looking at picking up a '66

[Twilight Fenrir]

Could someone here tell me what the bolt-pattern for the wheels are? The front axles are from a '68, but the rear are still '66... I'm guessing they're both the same though?

Having restored one of these myself, I recommend using this as a parts car. You can pick up a much better candidate for a little more. Unless you are really good at metal work and have a lot of time, you are going to spend quite some money restoring this one.

$300 for a parts car is a great price and it does look to have almost al of the usual hard to find pieces. Best of luck.
Cheers.

Just my humble opinion but I would look for a car that is in pretty good shape. Mine was strait with no rust but it still cost a fortune to restore I live in the western suburbs of Minneapolis and found this on craigs list

I would rather spend $5000.00 for a good one than put $20k in and iffy one

P.S. Welcome to the forum

I agree wholehartedly. Toronados are relatively cheap to purchase and very expensive to restore. Buy the very best you can afford... You´ll thank yourself later. A ´66 Toro in bad shape WILL be a money pit.

In case you didn't get the answer... This site should tell you mostly what you need - down toward the bottom are the specs from Dave Breznick's site.
