Re: what year is this Torino?
  Laser stripe is correct Sam ! (not my torino) I think they came in four colors? you can still get them. I had a neighbor with a yellow 70 GT NEW and we thought that stripe was theee baddest thing back then (for a ford)  actually that first "hugger orange" has a cyclone stripe not a torino laser stripe according to the owners post

Re: what year is this Torino?
That was my first car... 1970 Ford Torino, Morning Gold w/White and Olive Green guts, 302 w/2bbl. In the mid-80's, it was still a cool car to be seen on the high school parking lot. Fortunately, the local junk yard had about 4-5 torinos/ falcons with good trunk parts. Long story to follow on that!

Re: what year is this Torino?
If it's an M-code 351-4, it's rare. I have production figures at home. Off the top of my head, I think around 97 were 4-speed M-codes, and probably a couple hundred were automatics. I think 3939 in total were made starting with the 302.
Regarding the Cleveland vs. Windsor thing, I think there may be the possibility that some of the 2bbl. cars were Windsors, but all 4bbl. cars were Clevelands.

 Hmmm, it appears there are some closet '70/71 Torino fans 'round here (myself included  )

There has recently been a 4spd scj rag on ebay with a bin of 195k. It's yellow with 3.91, hideaways and no ram air. Very nice resto.
