Re: Hello from Germany!
I'm assuming that's for a brand new (NOS) switch. That's pretty expensive but when you're looking for unique parts for a 50 year old car, you sort of have to be glad that the part is available at any price.
That sounds like a price you'd pay for the part from Olds Obsolete. https://www.oldsobsolete.com/about-us/ They sell NOS parts but ask a king's ransom for them.
If you wanted to try a used one, check with John Dorcey.
John Dorcey has 50 Toronados from 1966-1970 for parts or complete cars. He is in Las Vegas.

Re: Hello from Germany!
Here's one on ebay for $345.

Is this the one you're considering? It's the only one I've found for sale so far.

Re: Hello from Germany!
Those pictures look like Steele products. They're good quality and generally correct from my experience with their '56 Cadillac parts.
Do a search on this forum for the shackle and spring bushings replacement. Others here have gone through this already. Some listed by various sellers are not the correct size, I forget what the solution is.
Here is a link to The Olds Master Parts book. It's useful for getting actual GM part numbers.

Re: Hello from Germany!
That vinyl flooring is funny.
You can buy masticated rubber from this company and make a proper splash shield. Fortunately, mine is in good shape.
