I thought about clicking other but my wife's Durango isn't a Ford product. I may be back to click the 74-76 button again because I talked to the kids of the deceased owner of that beat-up brown Brougham in Bynum. Now say that three times fast.

OK, anyway, they say they have the keys and title and it last ran in 2002 when they pulled it back there. But they want $1000 for it. Kinda stupid with a busted rear window, ate up wiring from mice, and being sunk in the mud. But they're meth-heads so I expect them to come down quick since I'm probably the only person to have ever asked about the Torino. Most people would want the SWB '68 pickup or the Cutlass convertible. If they come down to $200 or so I'll take it. And they're meth-heads. So they would LOVE to see cash. I bet they can use that tractor to pull it up to the road for loading on a rollback.

Anyway, I digress. And ramble. Because that's what I do.

I don't care about late model stuff,this poll only includes the 72-76 Ford,Lincoln,Mercury Products as that is what this section of the forum contains.I didn't include the other year cars on this site as i'm only concerned about these years,cause i'm trying to see what the popularity of the 72-76 cars that members own.

looks like the 72& 73 count is staying pretty close so far.it keeps changing as people vote but it stays within a few cars either way and we are only at the beginning stages as some people don't frequent the site alot like the regulars.one thing for sure it shows you how many of these cars are still around cause thousanda either got crushed or are sitting somewhere rusting away as mother nature claims them.Oh the horror of the thought of these kewl motor vehicles go yo waste.When I see photos of cars in junkyards still salvagable I want to go rescue them,but know that I can't which is the real bummer of it all.Props to everyone who has bought,fixed up,or driving these classic beauties and keeping them alive, as we all own a little piece of history.Modern cars are ok but to me nothing beats the old muscle and classics.I would rather spend $20K on restoring a classic car then go to a new car dealer and buy a new car for the same amount.

Another vote for "other". I added my '75 Elite. Purchased in 1982 for $700 and a '76 Volare Roadrunner. Currently being dismanteled for a frame-off restoration with a few modifications.

I hope your talking frame off on the Elite cause that Volare RR is a unibody car as is most all MOPAR cars

The Elite was purchased with $700 and the Roadrunner as a trade-in. Im certain the Roadrunner is looong gone. Fun car--318 w/3 spd on the floor. But it wasnt what I really wanted, and I couldnt have them both.

the numbers are growing,it's interesting to see how many of these cars are still around and that they are not just in the USA,people in other countries own them which is a very rare car in a foreign country.

Looks like alot of '72s and '73s, but who knows what's lurking out there in some barns.  I would love to know.  Plus, alot of us have more than one, and am I correct in thinking you can only cast one vote?
