Hi:
Here's a picture of me around 1978 with the first new car my Dad bought after graduating from college:



We moved from Conway, SC to WV and the Torino was traded in on a new 1984 Oldsmobile Forenza.  I've been looking for a '72 Gran Torino Sport since the 90's, but haven't found a GTS within a reasonable distance and at a reasonable price.  I'm still looking...

GREETINGS from Southern Ohio!

Where are you in WV? I'm across the river from Huntington and my wife is from Beckley.

You've come to the right place for all things Torino....

Cool Car, keep looking, they are out there.
is Philadelphia close enough? This didn't look too bad.

I'd probably go to Philly for the right car, but if I buy another car it has to be one just like what we used to have and I'll have to get rid something.  Anyone want a '74 MGB GT?  Thanks though.

Welcome!  Nice Torino, the best colour combo on the best year IMO, but I might be a tad biased since I own a red '72 fastback with a laser. 
A few of our members regularly post ads for Torino's.  Keep active here and hopefully one will pop up soon.  You could also consider having the car shipped if you find one you like that isn't close by?  I know several members have done that before, and I have a friend who has bought half a dozen cars and trucks that way (he had a Ford pickup shipped from Idaho to Ontario Canada).

Very nice! I wish I had a photo of myself with my 73 back in high school.
