[@iamtherealjaxon]

I like this show, but I think it's a crime to do this to such an original car. To be found in that condition is rare and it should be kept that way. Taking a junkyard wreck and turning it into a Hot Rod is fine but don't do it to original motors.

[@ComputerLearning0]

Those high-end auctions have been the ruination of muscle car trading.

[@albertgaspar627]

the only good thing about money in this field is, now you can order a part from a catalog. Before 1986, you would hack up a perfectly good 340/383 Mopar just to save a rusty Hemi. Now a 340 Duster can be saved without trips to Carlisle for NOS interiors and southern junkyards for body parts.

[@razvangeamanu4800]

Why do you say this?

[@philtolfreeart]

I know what you mean, but I think in a lot of cases, these cars would just rot away without these high end teams restoring them. Unfortunately high end restoration costs high end bucks! It's the same in the UK with the old classic hatchbacks. Something that was 4k a few years ago is now 20k.

[@sharonliesen]

These auctions let multi millionaires play with there money and it ruins it for the little guy and makes classic cars and trucks unattainable

[@gelandewagen4376]

[@rogerward3185]

That was a crime to the automotive world. They took a beautiful survivor of a vehicle, even if it was "plain jane" and destroyed it. I don't care whether the end result was fantastic or not. It wasn't worth the price of ruining the vehicle.

I liked the car better when it had the straight six and three speed. I also prefer the original color.

[@dustinshadle732]

i had a 71 torino 500. 2 door, auto on the column, 351c 2v. i had factory air, and the same original blue that this car had. most people thought it was a little 6, until i put on good dual exhaust. i managed to swap in an edelbrock 268 grind, aussie 351c heads, and had to port match a 2v port, 4v manifold. also took the time to swap in an aluminum radiator. the c6 was slipping a bit but i still managed to win a lot of races. i miss looking out that sunken rear window and effortlessly laying rubber for blocks. i put on 15 inch rims, cooper tires, and new springs on all 4 corners. the power steering stayed stock, but i went from disc up front and drum in the rear, to adding a power booster to the brakes and feeling much more stable and capable. i was saving up for a new transmission and a new center section for gears and locker in the rear when i lost my job. i held out for months, then i got a lot of final notices to pay or lose heat and power, among other things. i had to sell it. ive wanted to get another since, but now im disabled and need hand controls, and a bench seat with an automatic. i hope to find friends to help me if i find another, it was the car of my dreams. id settle on any 2 door from 68 to 71 though. fastback is the only way to go.

[@dustinshadle732]

@@amyhurley4461 I was out of work, had bills and my dad was in long term intensive care at Mayp Clinic. I found a new job in 3 weeks, and I've regretted selling my beautiful blue beast. Other vehicle I miss a ton, my 75 f250 hi boy. Pieced the grill together and fixed lots of interior stuff with good old JC Whittaney catalog. I was 17 when I had that, it was stock, 360, Dana 60 axles, I swapped in an old rebuilt 1968 390 from a mercury station wagon. It waa all drop in, and I put a 4v edelbrock carb and intake and the cam was stock replacement with the station wagon. The cylinders still had cross hatching. I had the intake and exhaust runners cleaned up and it was a monster. Driving nice, staying out of the secondaries, full time 4, I got better mileage than my uncles 78 2 wheel drive f250 with its 300l6 and we both had c6 transmissions.

I agree. I've been watching from the first episode and enjoying it. This one was really hard to watch. When someone rescues a wreck and gives it a new lease of life like they had done up to this point, that's great. Chopping up a pristine, stock car like this one is criminal.

Making this Torino a Cobra Jet was a good idea. However, Barry should have kept it close to the original 429 ci of a Torino Super Cobra Jet, AND, gone with a FLOOR SHIFT, (CONSOLE SHIFT), 4 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION! The wheels and tires should have been larger, but retro Ford mags that would have come with the car as a Super Cobra Jet Torino! When things are easy, you shouldn't make them complicated by over doing a project!

[@edwinstorz702]

I have to say, the Cobra Jet Torino was and still is a pick over the Mustang, Something more that the Torino brings that the Mustang cannot. Maybe that is why only a few are still around and it isn't something you can find for sale like you can find in the Mustang, which is in everybody's Garage and for sale on every Auction Block.

[@samsonian]

The Cobra Jet Mustang was a joke. The original body couldn't fit the motor and so they had to have all those cars custom built by a hot rod shop. Cobra Jet Torino made sense because the body was big enough for that huge motor.

[@docmoto6477]

Everyone knows hot rods and restomods, are done on cars that are too far gone to be an immaculate original. This car should have got a detailing and a for sale sign.

[@yakacm]

Agreed with everyone saying he ruined a nice original car, I bet Ford themselves with have given big bucks for a car in that shape, but the thing that makes you suspect how talented he is as a designer is that fact that he uses a set of templates to draw he wheels. Anyone who hasn't learned to throw a circle by hand isn't much of an artists especially if you are drawing cars. Most drawing of cars are done in a 3/4 view where the wheels obviously don't look round they are ellipses so you have no choice but to learn to draw them by hand, using a template to draw the wheels is amateur hour and means you can only ever show the car from the side.

Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on....

Another fantastic build from the Clowns in Corona. Let's review the numbers first: He put $35k in parts AND 220 hours of shop time. He's in CA, so I'm sure his shop rate is at least $100/hr. That's 220 hours @ $100/hr = $22,000 in labor. So, all together, he's actually into this car for $57k, Nice, creative math from the TV crew there. Who wouldn't want to pay that much for something that could be built by a bunch of bicyclists (notice everything they did was "bolt on"? There is NOTHING done to this Torino that the average guy couldn't do in his garage. And how in the world did they manage to buy such a clean car AND STILL put $14k into paint & body?!?!?! Maybe the buyers are getting smarter? He got the stance all wrong, it looks straight out of the 70's with the trunk sitting so high up the air, and did anyone notice how low the headers hang? The worst thing is, ALL of the parts to make this a really clean build are out there, but with Chris the Clown sourcing parts (who has no idea what he's doing, and has probably never turned a wrench himself), they will never find them.
