Achto 31,156 #2 Posted 9 hours ago (edited) The Olds Toronado, Back when you could get front wheel drive and a big block. The 455 Rocket engine was available at 375hp or the W-34 version at 400hp. Very futuristic looking car for '68. With such a long nose that the front bumper arrived to town a good 30 seconds before the driver.

Handy Don 16,032 #3 Posted 9 hours ago The Olds Toronado drive train was later used for the GMC Motorhome. After some initial teething pains with the heavier load, it was quite successful. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 64,355 #4 Posted 1 hour ago I had a '71 Toronado in '74 as a tow vehicle for my travel trailer. With the front wheel drive and the weight distribution hitch I had to play around torsion bars to maximize traction going into some semi developed campgrounds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
