Well said Jeff. Chevy guy here all the way but those Torino's were nice cars like this 390 ci and like you mentioned the 428CJ powerhouse. I personally like the short slope rear window Torino's over this long rear window. Yes leave this car the way it is and clean like no tomorrow. I love car's now that are left alone if no rust holes are present. It just shows the originality of the vehicle.

In my book, survivors are king. I'm so sorry, too, I saw the Cobra emblem and thought this was a non ram air 428 CJ car. Like you said, still ridiculously potent with a 390. I really dig the formal roof cars as well, but man, I'm a sucker for a fastback.

390? I've only ever been told that this is a 428SCJ car. Enlighten me as to why it is a 390 car. Currently is 428 powered.

I was just referring to the previous message I was replying to that said "this 390". I took that as implying it was a 390 car, whereas my previous message talked about it being a 428 car. I thought I was being corrected, so I apologized. No disrespect meant.
