I love it and think the price is pretty fair for the condition...my wife on the other hand...we got a trip to GA coming up and I told her I'm buying this and we're taking it. Ever feel your balls getting kicked just by a stare? Yeah, that just happened.
Live free or die
Ha. Same thing happened to me today. We are going to FL and I wanted to get it for that trip!!Originally Posted by scorpio333

Man, this thing is sweet. Torque Thrusts or Bullets, headers and dual exhausts, and just cruise it everywhere. Mom and dad are looking for a car, wonder if I can talk them into this.
I saw it when it was first listed and I am suprised it's still available. I think 6k is more than fair considering the condition.
Did anyone see the 65 4 door continental in west mifflin about 2-3 weeks ago? Seafoam green, green interior, (both hurt the value) but stupid clean 100k orig miles, same owner last 40+ yrs, and garage kept. Price was 6k or 6500....i knew it was a steal....it lasted 2 days...which was twice as long as I expected.

Buy Made in the USA - It Matters.
I'm shocked that it's still available too. I know a lot of "car guys" who can't visualize change or potential so maybe just the right set of eyes haven't seen it yet?
Mine eyes have seen the glory.........but mine wife gives me the visual nut squash.

Definitely a clean ride - I'm just not feeling the nose. Small market for that generation Torino - they just haven't caught on yet.

I love the nose!!!
As for the aftermarket...........I'd make my own! Bet that P71 rear I have would rock under that thing.

Wheel and tire change alone would make this a $10k+ car at Columbus Goodguys in July.
You guys are baiting me.........

Here is more bait....Maybe a 70 -71 Torino GT hood (with scoop)........or may a Shaker hood (less the wood grain sides, good luck with finding a shaker hood and scoop)!
I think it could be a cool vehicles. Here are a few pictures for ideas!
I am all about the woodgrain CJ car.....probably a 4-speed to boot.
Overall I would prefer a 67 gal wagon....but the front end's on the torino's are tough looking.

Hideaway headlights are a 1000% improvement - I'd rock that woodgrain car all day.

Cobra wheels are too modern and square. The TT's or Bullets looks more period correct.

Body colored steel wheels with dog pans and white letter tires would look great too imo.
