The Toronado - the only front wheel drive worth having - because you can take the drivetrain from a second Toronado and put it out back. :git:

We're rebuilding the engine with Offenhauser aluminum heads, low profile aluminum intake (to clear the low hood line), electric cooling fan, Coddington wheels, Fuel tank from an Olds 98 to bump capacity from the original 19 to 26 gallons, although possible custom tank once all is done and I know exactly the space I have. The rear shocks, all four, are upgraded, installed a rear anti-sway bar, upgraded rear drum brakes, ditched the vacuum operated headlights for Honda Prelude/Accord electric lift motors.
