Pic of my favorite car my 1970 Torino GT that I've owned since 1976. It has just over 52,000 miles on it. I recently decided to research its history. It was built in Atlanta, shipped to a dealer 30 miles from me. I found the original owners name in the Operators Manual and called him. He was very excited to learn that I've owned his Torino for 49 years. I looks like I am the third owner! What do you think??

Awesome Torino! Definitely get a Marti if you haven't yet (and feel free to post it in our Marti thread). What engine and transmission are you running?

Love that look. If you visit the previous owner I bet he is gonna beg to drive it again.

Do the headlight doors still function? All original?

Yep, headlight doors work like new and are all original. They do leak off and open after sitting for a few days and the grills started to come loose and I had to re-glue them. Many years ago I shopped salvage yards a lot so I accumulated 3 complete hide away grills and all the vacume parts that go with. Think I need to sell some of that stuff now. lol. Thanks for asking!! I love my Torino ❤️
