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?? ------------- 1970 Torino GT |

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? ------------- Vince 1972 Ford GTS Sportsroof - Survivor, One Family car GTS.org Admin |

| 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 ❤️ ------------- 1970 Torino GT |
