    Definitely want to see more of that Torino, hands down one of the coolest cars Ford made. I love the 70-73 Torino fastbacks, they’re really cool cars and you don’t see them very often anymore. Hope you guys get it back on the road and fix it up again.

      @@ClassicStreetIron agreed. My first car, in 1986, at 15 years old, was a 1971 Torino 500, pretty much cherry, 302-2V. I do prefer the very back of the Sportsroof design, with the slight “duckbill” profile. But I prefer the roof line of the “formal” roof, as the Sportsroof almost seems kinda forced, and I really don’t care for the shape of the 1/4 windows.

    In 1972 my Dad sold his '63 Corvette for $2,500 and bought my mom a solid walnut dining room set.
    Partially because the family was a little too big for a Corvette and partially because the new job in California came with a company car.
    It was a gold 1970ish Torino with a 351 Cleveland.
