I remember when old cars were dirt cheap. Now we call them vintage and want thousands for the old beaters. lol I am nostalgic, but I have not lost my mind, yet. lol

The 70 1/2 Fairlane had that Torino body.

Silly thing I noticed is the 68 LeSabre parked right in front of the Torino 😂 I've been restoring one for a few years now in N PHX and now know where to go for some parts!

I think this is an old vid. A GT base engine was the 302, but you could go all the way to a J code SCJ 429 with ram air, even in the convertible. These were great cars…final unibody Torino.

You do a much better job at these than Mr. Hoover does. I'll leave it that. I believe you featured this one already, but here we go: That's not a rear "turn signal". That's only a marker light. The 351 CID V8 with four barrel was standard on the Torino Cobra in 1971. You could also of course get the 429 CID V8 in a 1971 Torino as well. If you're going to do the trim tag, do the VIN and go all the way, don't you say? We got the VIN, we win: 1 for 1971 model year, H for Lorain, OH assembly, 37 for Torino GT convertible, H for 351 CID V8 with two barrel, and the rest is the production sequence. The Lorain, OH plant operated from 1958 to 2005. We got the tag, we can brag: 76F for Torino GT convertible, M for White exterior paint, YW for White interior trim, 6 for 3.00:1 rear axle ratio, non-locking, W for C-4 automatic transmission and 62 for Houston, TX sales district. Not correct, just because the decal points to the Houston, TX sales district, that does not mean where it was sold necessarily. That is the sales district that placed the order for it. Dealer swaps (even then) happened all the time. A Marti report would tell you what dealer it was shipped to and even then, it could have been ordered by one dealership and actually sold by another in another area. My 1979 10th Anniversary Trans Am 400/4 speed is a good example. It was ordered and shipped to Liberty Pontiac-GMC in Randallstown, MD but actually sold by Brake Pontiac in Waynesboro, PA. I found that out when I tracked down the original owner of the car two years after I bought it. Turns out the original owner "motivated" the salesman to find a Pontiac 400 V8 equipped car (one of 1,817 made) with $500 in cash on top of the asking price to find one.
