Ooooooh. Too bad.
My folks had a ‘60 Torino GT running a 351 Windsor.
Avocado Green.
Black vinyl hardtop.
NOT the fastback body style.
Black stripes down the rocker panels.
Never seen another exactly like it.
Pop unloaded it to some High School kid because the C6 automatic was getting soft in the shift, and there was a softball-sized door dent on one side.
I know I haven’t.
My best friend is a die-hard Ford guy just like his dad and they might be hard pressed to know one like your folks had.
Dang. Not ‘60 Torino — a ‘69 Torino.
Last in a line of bad car sales decisions.
Before that was the Fairlane they sold — can’t recall if it was a ‘62 or ‘63.
But that’s not nearly as egregious as Ma & Pa selling off her ‘56 T-Bird.
Turns out it was hereditary. Gramps & Grams had temporary custody of a ‘63 Galaxie 500 convertible that my uncle had brought out from the Twin Cities to sell in sunny California. They didn’t keep it.
When I was young they drove a ‘67 Buick Skylark that — they got rid of in the mid ‘70’s. Just thankful it wasn’t a Hurst model.
