Years Owned: 1967 Toronado Deluxe - owned this car since 1995 and am the second owner. Sadly it was cosmetically gorgeous but mechanically and electrically a mess when I got it. It was a feature car at the 1997 Olds Centennial but still wasn't running right then until Sparky Kalkhoff and I swapped out the wrong cam for the correct original. Everything electrical was repaired over the years until the point where the cosmetics became a mess. It's now undergoing its second restoration with lots of new metal to address years of rot courtesy of its Northeast PA roots.

I guess I'll ask the $10K (actually closer to $200) question: anyone have a preferred source/brand for replacement CV axles? I like going the GMC Motorhome route that was suggested above but wonder if they're any different/better than stuff on eBay, Amazon, RockAuto, etc. Thanks in advance!

My new one is in the 66. Got it from parts geek 85 bucks.
Put about 350 miles on it since then with no problems. They sell them for all year Toros. Don't be thrown by the initial picture, it comes up the same for them all. Can't say I prefer it over an actual rebuilt.
