Hello. Just purchased a 1969 Torino GT Fastback. Its my first Ford muscle car and am pretty stoked about it. Its been sitting in a dirt driveway for the past 34 years and needs plenty of work. I will be the second owner of the car. Cant wait to get it back to my place to see whats what. 

Anyways this is my first time here posting. Hoping I can get some good advise on getting it where it needs to be. Black Jade with a gold stripe. Black interior with bucket seats and a console.

Welcome Ramone.  I upgraded you to a full member so you can upload pictures now.  Post some pics of your GT, we'd love to see it.  What engine and trans does it have?

Wow. That car definitely needs a lot of TLC. Great find and looks to have everything mostly intact, may not need to source that many parts for it 👍

Thanks for sharing the pics. These 68-69 Fastback cars were my favorite 60s Torinos.  The car looks complete and relatively solid, but that is definitely a big project ahead.  I am looking forward to seeing the progress of your project.  Feel free to start a project thread if you want us to follow along.
