Tighten it down until it snaps and then back it off a half turn!

Was it yellow? I've seen a yellow one sitting at a service station on Rt 4 in Burlington, Ct on my way to Hartford quite a few times. That might be the one. It's a sharp car for sure.

Ron,no thats not the one spied at MVD,I believe it to be red.I haven't seen the pix of it yet.I've also have seen the one up near your neck of the woods.I travel that route up to Ct St police troop B, in Canaan.I'm going to stop and check out that yellow torino one of these times.Beautiful country up that way.My co-worker talked to the owner or the red one.Said it was a barn find,a father and son had gotten the car put it away for 20 or so years.Son passed away awhile back, then the father had it for some time before he was ready to part with it.So the current owner purchased it.my co-worker also said it's a dragPac car.ClapThats the story I got.

I'd love to see the pics. I look for that yellow one each time I go through there. Sometimes it's there and sometimes not. There are not that many around these parts so when one pops up it's kind of a surprise.
Post them up when you get a chance. They were great looking cars. Second to the 72's in my opinion.
