Wow, you are a die hard ford fan.
I remember those ford torinos. I think. The one I’m thinking of was a large 2door fastback. My cousin had one that was dark metalic brown and black bucket seats, a 1969 I think. It had a 3 speed auto though. I didn’t like that. I thought a car like that should have 4 on the floor. It seems like he only had 14” rims too. That really sucked in my opinion. But the car had enormous potential.
My offer in post 102 applies to you too. I really want a light blue 68 ford F100 in original condition.
My grandfather was a Ford mechanic for 42 years; started back in the early 1930’s. My family drove all Ford cars and trucks up until the folks bought an Olds in ‘78. We even owned a Pinto Runabout and a PInto Wagon, at one time.
I’ve only had two cars that aren’t Ford models: a Saturn L1 Sedan, and my current ride, a Chevy Lumina. It’s not that I’ve had anything against buying a Chevy or a Dodge, just that what I have came along at the right time for the right money.
We had a 69 Torino GT with a 2bbl 351 Windsor under the hood backed up by a C6 automatic transmission. The wheels were the same 15-inch “GT” wheels that appeared on the Mach 1 Mustangs.
