First of all I want to say thanks for letting me be a part of this great forum.
After returning home from the Marines in 1972 I ordered a new Gran Sport Torino and took delivery on this very date in 1973. I had this car for 3 years before I sold it. My wife and I retired about 10 years ago and started looking for it or one like it. Never found anything until last September. We now have a 1973 Gran Sport with a 429 Cobra engine with 78,000 original miles. We are in the process of restoring now and it is remarkably good shape with no rust. I need a few parts so I will be posting some wanted adds soon and will try to post some pics when I figure out how to.
Thanks, Rick
Rick Cochran

Welcome Rick!  I upgraded you to a new member so you have full forum privileges.  Posting photos isn't too hard once you figure it out.  There are instructions and a video in this post:


Post some pics of your Torino and feel free to start a project thread so we can follow along your car's build.
