Hello and thanks for the membership. This summer, a 1976 Gran Torino Wagon was bought, and maybe in a month, another Torino will also be bought Smile

Im new into the Torino-world, but also have a 63.5 Galaxie and earlier had a 1969 Mustang Sportsroof

In many years Ive been looking for a 74-76 Torino, and now one, maybe two were found


My residence is in Harstad, Norway

Welcome to the forum!  I have upgraded you so you have full forum access and can post pictures.  Share some pictures of your Torino wagon and the other old Fords.

The wagon looks great!  What engine does it have?  How did it run over the 1000 mile trip?  When you have a chance, post some pics of your other cars too.

351M. No problems during the trip. Few days after arrival, a small caravan was hitched to the wagon for another trip, this time it was around 300 miles, to a meeting. It worked well then also

My other old school US Ford is this 1963.5 Galaxie. Originally with 352/COM. Now it has 390/C6 from a 1967 Mustang








The first US Ford I had was this 1969 Mustang Sportsroof with 351 Windsor. It was sold in 2011

Then my Torino #2 was in my ownership Smile

Was for sale in Norway the day after I came home from my summer holiday driving my newly purchased Torino wagon. These are rarely for sale in Norway, and in addition, the price was fair. Just had to buy it
