Hi. I have a 69 Ford Torino GT fastback with a 302. My dad used to buy cars and bring them home to sell when I was growing up. One day he brought home the Torino. When I saw it I said to him that it was the prettiest car he had ever brought home. He sold it to me when I turned 18. Being that I was young and basically poor, we had to drive it in the winter and when my husband was picking me up from work we slid on ice and clipped a pole on the front quarterpanel. About 20 years ago my husband started working on it, then he got really ill and passed away. I have kept the car for 30 years. I still dont have a lot of money to have it restored but I have a little and have a dream of getting the car back on the road by the time I turn 50!!! It's still the prettiest car I have ever seen! I need a hood for it, so if anyone has one please let me know!

Hello everyone, I want to say thank you for allowing me to join. I am looking for a 1974-1976 Gran Torino. Back in 1982 I had a 1976 S&H Gran Torino that unfortunately I wrecked and have been missing it ever since. If anyone could point me in the right direction I don't mind putting the work in for another.
Thank You Bob Tork

Good morning, I was in search for a hood for my 68 GT Torino as well. They are almost impossible to find. I found a vendor that makes Fiberglass hoods for our cars. I just recently ordered a hood from them. Their name is "Crites". They are located in Ohio. Good luck restoring your car.
