    Bob,
       I believe it is something that the moderator pics. Post pics of your car in a project thread or the photo gallery for consideration. If I am reading this wrong, my apologies.

Hey guys I really appreciate this!!! I've been tinkering with it somewhat.  All the little things...new carb with electric choke, adjusting the front windows, bleeding out some air in the brakes. Its never left me stranded.....Again...Thank You

Vince...thank you for doing this. Being my personal situation, I sort of have had a number of things to contend with and mentally checked out until recently as I start over.

I personally feel either restored, daily driver or beater, as long as the cars are alive and kicking, I am game for anyone's ride being posted.

Exactly. If it were only pristine machines this would not last very long.

The June 2021 Car of the Month is long time member "n2fordwagons" Jeff's 1971 Ford Torino Brougham.



Jeff's 1971 Torino is a really nice clean survivor with original paint.  It has a 302-2V engine which he recently dressed up.



To see more pics and read more about Jeff's Torino, check out his project thread here.

The August 2021 Car of the Month is long time member "Mr. Smog" Bob's 1973 Ford Torino base model 2-door hardtop. 

This car is a super clean original car with only 39K miles on it.  It has a 302 engine, C4 transmission and new dual exahust with magnaflow mufflers.  The base model Torinos are rare and you'd be hard pressed to find a cleaner one.  Best of all, if you really like the car, it is for sale.  See more info in his thread here:
