Default Re: what can you tell me about my old Torino by a pic?

Thanks I was hoping for a SCJ vote, it had holley carb and intake on it adjustable valves DOOE heads IIRC guy said it had a rod out I hoped spun bearing after getting it home I pumped the pedal and it started right up, KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK and it even idled but there was milkshake running down the drive - wasnt orig block so I found a 460 and put that in it.
One night a friend had borrowed it and came home on wrecker this time it dropped a valve [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] I had to send one head out to be welded up and built another 460 with the sewer port heads(and stailess valves this time) ran really good and eventually sold it and 2 owners later he called whating to know what I had done to the engine because it ran so well -that made me feel good. I also added factory power frt disc brakes to the car.
Do the taillights seem out of place? I always like the GT taillights and PO had installed these on the car before I bought it. I did remove them once to repaint the black and saw the rear panel had been dented - filled with filler and painted over the original cobra sticker!
