the decision

You made the right choice, aslong as you are shipping the  71 Torino to me :D

Heart breaker, but you made the right choice.  70-71's are everywhere compared to 73's..

It would kill me to sell the 71. I need one of those for my collection. My wife told me there is a difference between wants and needs, so now every car that I want has become a need. I understand the space issue though. It's cool that your wife is into cars.

Even though the performance from the factory was better in the 70-71's, I have always thought the 72-73's are much better looking cars. On top of that they are far more unique. Maybe the 72-73's will never be worth as much as the 70-71's, but at least the 72-73's are starting to gain more interest and value.

I have been there, sometimes you have to sacrafice a car for whatever reason. And even if keep the car that's worth less or is less collectible, if it's the one YOU like more, then it's the right choice.

You definitely made the right choice!  I see a door from another 72-73 in the pic.  Is there another one your not telling about?

the yellow 72 door belongs to a super clean 72 formal my buddy owns. he's not on the forum. can you believe there are some people out there who dont want to talk torinos 24/7?

that was a sharp car paul, I hope you got what you wanted out of it.

Whats done is done,water under the bridge. I hope the next owner is as good an owner as you. I sold my 1968 ltd Q code 428 engine. I regreted it ,but it freed me up . It was used in a movie here I trying to find the picture it was in. Both cars are nice,but the 72-76 torinos are a better all around car .

You made the right choice.

I completely agree, but dont get me started!   72-76 cars have better suspensions, a better ride, more engine compt room, nicer interiors etc etc. 

The 71 is nice, but I like the '73 much more...even though it is a sport roof! Certainly shouldn't have gone the other way around. If one had to go, you chose wisely IMO.
