Looking for our family’s Torinos!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi everybody, my name is Rory. I’m originally from Speedway Indiana.
I grew up with three 1968 Ford Torinos in our family. My dad had a black one with a gold stripe (bought new from Ford), my brother had a white one with a red stripe (which got passed down to me), and my sister had a maroon one with a white stripe.

My dad died many years ago, and mom just recently passed. While going through boxes of paperwork, I finally ran across the VIN numbers of two of our three Torinos.  

I would really love to get one of these back into my hands.  They were sold in the Indianapolis area sometime before 1994.  I’m specifically looking for these two VIN’s: 

8A42F183324 White 1968 Ford Torino

8A42F272477 Black 1968 Ford Torino 

If anyone has a lead on one of these, please let me know!

	Welcome aboard! I will move your post to the 1968-69 section and make it a sticky. I have also upgraded you to a new member so you have full forum privileges. Post some pics of the cars if you still have any.
