A little late on my part but thanks for the add.
My dad gave me this 72 and asked me to get it going. Lots of other priorities in the way but I am making progress. New tank in and it looks like it will run good enough to focus on other things for now. Parts purchased so far. Rear bumper, headlight bezels, grille, tank, sender. Next, brakes, then carpet and seats.

Welcome!  Great looking Torino.  It looks like it's pretty solid.  Looks like someone replaced the GTS hood (with a scoop) with a non-GTS hood.  What engine does it have?

Car is a 4002v, c6, 2.75 open rear. I have sourced a GTS hood, hope to paint next summer.
