Hello everyone.  I am brand new to the forum.  My name is Greg.  I am currently 34 years old.  I've been spinning wrenches just out of diapers.  I know little of whatever guys my age are into that have turbos and computers, and whatever 4cyl. 10 sec cars are all about, but I can tune a Holley well enough to be respected by the old school men and lob a big chalop of American steel off the line so hard to blow out the rear window.    I haven't had time to really seek out a forum particularly for Torino's as I am currently involved in a Chevy build, Senior member on a forum there. But. Helping my. Younger cousin tweak his cammed 85.foxbody.i started thinking Ford's.  I think my Google keypad justgotcCorona.  I don't can't fix.  I ohave a very interesting Torino I would like to share with all you guysWheon I'm allowed to. Post. Pics I think it's something you may have neveseen and hope. You'll enjoy.  Thankseo

1970 Torino Brougham 4 Door with optional factory. Drag. Pack. Option. 429 Scj with Cruise o Matic Trans, 390 Detroit locker rear and the works all packed into a 4 door. Family sedan!  All oringal, 13,000 miles.  Paperwork and order sheet to match.  My father speced out the order forum for his mom (was my grandma's car) when he was just a kid.  Packed it away in a garage for a while.  Thought sharing the pics would intrigued some.

Welcome aboard! I just upgraded you to a full member so you can post some pics now. I'd love to see a Marti on that 1970 Torino as I don't think SCJs came in anything but 2 doors for 1970. What is the Chevy build you are working on?

According to Ford they built two 1970 4 door Torino's with 429scj.  Not entirely sure exactly if other.was with a 4 speed or drag pack. Option. Or exists today.  Declaring a value for insurance purposes is a current condumdrum I am in.  Vehicle needs to be slightly. Exercised outside. Of driveway.

Wow, that is one sweet Torino! The one rule with Ford is that there always seems to be exceptions. So I am not surprised they made a 4-door SCJ.  Do you have the Marti report, I'd love to see it.

No worries about the non Fords. As you see John has a whole thread on his non Fords. You have some cool rides! Thumbs Up

Welcome aboard. Typos are excusable but lack of pics won't cut it.
