Hello,

I am new to the board, and a new Torino owner.

I bought my 1972 Gran Torino Sport whille on my 2 Week R&R in the States. I am 21 years old and I am currently in Iraq Trailblazing the violent roads of Iraq. Trailblazers are Bomb Hunters, we patrol looking for roadside bombs, bad guys, and anything out of the ordinary.

But on to the good Stuff, here are some basic specs on the car.

-1972 Gran Torino Sport

- Original 351c and c4 Trans. Both are in increadible shape.

-Holly 750 SINGLE pump carb ( I have a 650 double pump carb waiting to be installed when i get home)

-EddleBrock Preformer

-Mild Summit cam.

-B&M Shift Kit

-Heddman Hedders

- Dyno Max Exhuast : (

-Cragger SS Wheels

We come home in december which will be our 14th month here. It's going to suck having to wait till April/June to bring out the Torino. It will be well worth the wait though.

Hi Keith,

What a beauty she is!!!  Mine is not as good looking, but what can I say?  It's Canada for you.  Just keep yourself safe out there and come home in one piece.  I'm retired from the Canadian Air Force.
