Always loved the first Toro body style. I always heard that the primary problem with the earlier Cord or other FWDs was that without constant velocity joints they had a double-header problem of torque steer and rapid joint wear.

Jay Leno had a first-style Toronado body put together with rear wheel drive and 1200 horsepower; what he intends to do with the 1200 horsepower is beyond me.

I drove one of the first Toros just a little around Chicago, out on errands for my employer of the time. That was just at in-town speeds, so not a great chance to "feel out" the car. My only caveat was that the turning radius felt like turning the Queen Mary.
