YES of course I drove illegal in our village
today I give the car to in german TÜV - technical and historical check. Perhaps in 1 week I can drive legall...

last time Isaw a very comlicated headlight-switch for Toronado, you know... vacuum, elektric and instrumants-lights for .... 350 bukcs ist that a right price?

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.

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

thanks that is a very good idea

Hallo again...
the car is now in service/mechanics, they changed some parts, now it seems to be ok ... but i need a profi-help

I´m looking for:
-body mounting pads for rear i thing that´are two pices ? see the picture, it that right??? and size ??
-bushing for the leaf spring: at the front of leaf spring is only one part but rear i think two parts lower und another two parts upper (another size for lower and upper???) for a one side....
and the shackle ?

is that right or not ?
do have somebody the parts number of that?

thanks!

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.

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.
