If you GOOGLE "Gen2 Oldsmobile Toronado owners club" the top two items are car owners groups, I did not go to the sites. Hope this helps.

It has a strong engine and drivetrain which were also used in the front wheel drive 1973-1978 GMC motorhomes. I owned a 26' 1978 GMC motorhome for many years. It ran like a top.

By the way, just so that you know, you have a first gen Toronado. It looks like a 1970. Nice car!

I used to own one, maybe a 1969? Had forgot until I read this post, it was about 10 years old when I owned it. My father owned a 72 or so. He drove it from NY to Calif to visit me, said he averaged about 6-7 MPG. He switched back to Cadillacs after that.
