Just bought a mint 71 Torino Gt convertible
 
Shaker, 351 4 barrel, 4 speed, AC, PS/PDB, am/fm, factory ribbon tach, one of 26 according to Marti.. It was in the Hershey AACA museum in 2010. This car drives like a dream.

Very sharp! Always liked the 70/71 Torinos. Looks great with the covered headlamps. Congrats! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Woah!

Would love to see a Marti for this. M-code sticks are MUCH rarer than one would think. Nice with the hidden headlights too.

Nice! If I was going to park a Ford in my garage, a 70/71 Torino would be a serious contender.

I think I may have seen this car leaving the Pumpkin Run last weekend at the old Flemming's junk yard in EHT. It looks awesome and sounded mean. There was another Torino similar to this one in the show execpt it had the red lazer stripe and was an automatic. Very sharp cars; they don't seem to get the respect that they deserve.

Congratulations; from what I could see, as I was drooling watching is drive by, it is a beautiful car.

Awesome car! I've had three 70-71 Torinos through the years and loved all of them.

Well done, I admired that car at the Hershey museum a few years ago. A fine automobile for sure.

Those 71 Torino's are/were way underrated cars. Very nice looking and you gotta love a convertible. A neighbor at church had a brown/brown one with the lazer stripe that was just a cool car and for some reason didn't seem to rust out like everything else in Pittsburgh in the 70's.

Congrats, nice car.

It's 26 how? Doesn't appear on the Marti you posted.

I did not post a Marti. my Marti does show 26 made in the same paint/trim code, though.

D'oh - I was the one who posted the Marti of another car!
