The Grant Toronado is in Chicago and is owned by a friend of mine. The valve covers are all sold except 4 I have kept for a special project and I have 2 timing covers to sell and 2 for my project out of a run of 12.

So am I wrong on that it went to Germany? I was told by the seller, that a German collector bought it and had it shipped there. Did your friend buy it recently? Do you know of the Germany story?

Cool stuff, I have always seen pictures of the Multi engine car, but didn't know it had a name:-)

The Toronado is news to me, great stuff!

Always wondered about that Grant car. Please fill in the blanks (as I was lead to believe) on it. I read several articles on that car and how it was engineered and built.

I do not believe the car ever left the country. I went and looked at the Grant car but I could not deal with bortz so I passed it on to my friend for his consideration. This was 5 years ago or so.
I keep my finger on the pulse of a few odd Oldsmobiles.
I used to own the rear Sharp blower manifold for the Hurst Hairy Olds and 1 set of valve covers for that car also.
I know where the front manifold is also.

And to clarify, my terminology of "a few years" in the earlier post about the Grant car being for sale was used very loosely. I kinda remember that car's rear engine being hidden in what would have been the trunk.....very unassuming. It was designed in a way that one OR both engines could be used. Still would like to hear about what happened to it.

I know the Hemmings ad was in the "Multi-Makes" section which I don't normally read, but I think it was more than 5 years ago. Can you post info or pics of it now?
