Hey y'all! As you can see from my user name I'm a Mopar guy. I have however just locked in a deal to buy a '72 Gran Torino, not sure of all the specific designations yet, but its a formal roof car with an H engine code that I did some research on and I believe it's a 351C with a 2 barrel.

My dad had a Q code '72 Sports Roof back when I was a kid and I always loved that front end, and when the opportunity arose I bought my own. I've always had a soft spot for FoMoCo, and my first car was a '67 Mustang coupe.

The rest of my stable includes a 1969 Plymouth Valiant 2 door post that will be receiving a 360 transplant, a 1974 Dodge Challenger Rallye 360, blue with black stripes, presently a basket case that will eventually receive a full "day 2" type restoration and a 1974 Plymouth Duster that my 14YO and I are working on as his first car.

Welcome!  I love most all classics and muscle cars.  Did you end up getting the Torino?  Let's see some pics!
