I would think so. One of the pages I saw this photo on where I got it from said there were some Twister Special Rancheros in there, of which they only made 4 of.

lol @ robot9000

Actually don't think that is fan drive...It's a fan-like contraption to chop up all the bugs that overfly and miss hitting the windshield. I believe they called it a insect-fragmentifacationer. Tongue

Hey Walt, our 73 Gran Torino wagon and 74 Torino 2 door back in the day
both had the 302 and they were no slouches either. Thumbs Up

Love the color of the wagon!

Looks like a gold '67 Impala in that one photo....'Supernatural' fan here. Big smile

Thanks. It's the original paint, 4S Light Green. My Marti Report said that there were about 3700 in this color for 1973, yet this is the only one I've seen. I had to Google supernatural and I see where you're coming from now.

My 73 Ranchero GT was that color, with wide yellow stripe and narrow black stripe around that and green interior.

Yeah, I like 'Supernatural' more for that 67 Impala than for any other reason, actually....

My first Torino (not counting the '72 Ranchero that came before it...). '74 Sport, circa 1979. Originally a light metallic blue w/ white vinyl top and vinyl interior. Two-toned it w/ Cadillac "Firemist" colors and had a local shop do the full interior (yeah... that's velour. Remember, it was '79...). Swapped out the factory 302/C4 for a 'built' 2V-headed Cleveland w/ Hooker Super Comps, hard rockin' C6 and 3.55's out back. Fun ride!
