It's a real LE (or was anyway). Here's a couple matching pics from a happier time, right after being brought back from the dead. Always wondered what happened to it........guess I saved it for nothing.......it was really a solid car too.      ------------- Scott -'73 Gran Torino Brougham Past Torino's -'73 Q-code GTS, '76 Original PS-122 S&H, '73 H-code GTS, '73 Ranchero '71 Cobra 351 Auto, '70 351C Brougham 2dr HT, '71 351C Ranchero |

Someone know where it is?? Maybe a member could pick it up before they crush it!? $300 offer to the yard? maybe we take up donations of parts and put it together from all the extra/free stuff we could collect from the members. ------------- Carl Corey (Moderator/Event Coordinator) Contact ANYTIME! 1976 Ford Elite "Lola Mae" 97 Suzuki Intruder 1400 US Army Retired |

Hey Walt, could you let me know which forum had the pics of my old LE? The car went to California when it sold. Would be interesting to see if any more info about it shows up on that forum.

This one needs to be hunted down. The exterior looks to be in too good of a condition to let it die. Floors and stuff are common to all our cars but the bosy is Montego only and no one makes repair panels. Hell I'd put it at the farm and spray the quarters with something to keep them from rusting/rotting anymore!

A friend told me he saw Torinos in a junk yard near Abilene Tx, so I went and although there was a lot of neat old cars, no Torinos, well there was half of one! There were Rancheros, and Wagons, but everything was pretty picked over or weather ruined. All I saw worth getting was set of knobs for lifting the seat back (hard to find) and possibly some trim or a bumper. Kind of a disappointment. Here's a some shots.      ------------- '73 Gran Torino Brougham '63 Econoline Standard Van - Brent *USAF RET* |

I'm not in any dire straits right now, & hope to restore or resto-mod it someday still(unless I get a reasonable offer).

There were a lot of nice looking salvage cars here online in NJ after Sandy. But then Sandy cars started showing up in the u=pull-its. And then you realize that nothing, and I mean NOTHING is savable on those cars. Maybe sheet metal. But even then, sand and salt into every nook and cranny. And interiors? Forget it. The rank smell of a closed-up seawater soggy car is enough to back you right away. ------------- Mark 1977 Ltd II "Eltee" 1984 Mustang ragtop 2004 Grand Marquis Ultimate Edition 71 Torino GT 429CJ (sold too many years ago to count...) |

I'd buy that wagon (location?)in a minute...and yes, I did see all those '67-'68 Cougars going to waste. I've built several water salvage cars, but all in fresh water. Great results with all of them. Never done a salty, though. ------------- Joe 1972 Mom's Squire Wagon 1972 Torino Wagon 1976 Torino 1968 Cougar XR7-First batch 1972 Torino 460 1989 BroncoII/Jeeps/Titanimous Popeye and Brutus (Rams) |
