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.

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.

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. Pretty soon, these goofballs will run out of suckers to offload their money losing cars to. Then what are they going to do?

You have to remember that this is right in the middle of the OCC let's build $100,000 pieces of junk. When Barrett Jackson auction was king getting top dollar not for nothing, but definitely more than the average man could afford. It's a shame what they did to that original car. My grandma had one close to that. Hers was a auto and the blue was a little darker. She gave it to my mom and she blew the motor. It's a shame I didn't know what I could have at the time.

Eventually they will get a hole in those headers from rubbing on the pavement.

Meanwhile, the $500 shop car F-body is an ebay turbo and junkyard vortec 350 away from being another auction car with bodywork.

Nope not a 428 in 1970; a 429. 428 was in the 69 model, I had one.

Hell they'd been better off to sell the car as it was. They'd made more money.
