I dont think tanks are being reproduced for the Toronado.....there could be a few NOS tanks laying around somewhere but I wouldnt know where to tell you to look for one. Try getting yours patched or relined. You can also look for someone parting a car and getting a tank from them. Advertise on the various Olds sites and check Craigslist and Ebay.

We had one built for our 54 at a welding shop for about $200, Used our old filler neck & new sending unit from NAPA $35

Have you considered purchasing a fuel tank restoration kit? You can get them from suppliers like JC Whitney and Kanter. They won't work miracles; however, if your fuel tank is in fair shape these kits can get another 15 years out of an old fuel tank.
