Default Re: 70 Torino GT, Matching 429 Thunderjet, 4 Speed

Here's what I would do to the Torino.
1. New Dual Exhaust, what's there is servicable but showing it's age. New Chrome Tips as well.
2. Detail Undercarriage, Very Very Carefully as All Factory Markings are Still Present and what should be Oxide is oxide, and blue is blue...You get the idea.
3. And I would spring for a Full Blown Marti Report. Of Course, My GT's Buildsheets were Decoded and Signed as is the Car by Mr. Bill Shenk, the man who Designed the Torino for FORD 1970-71. I take His word over even a Marti, though the Mati would give exactly how many like this were built.
Mr Shenk, and the Fairlane club, believe it to be One of One in this Color (Pastel Blue) with "N" Code 429, 4 Speed, and Open Rear End and the Topper, Hide-A-Way Headlamps.
If you want to know how Rare Hide-A-Way Headlamps are, Ask Me I will Tell you, To get replacement Headlamp Doors cost me $1200 on E-Bay. I Beat Mr Shenk out for them.
Torino GT 429's are Underpriced, a Lot of Bang for the Buck.
Grab it now.
