Here's a link for a 70 Falcon: http://classiccar.chooseyouritem.com...0/3260766.html Wierd, never knew they were essentially Torinos. [/ QUOTE ] That actually looks like a 1970 1/2 Falcon. I have one myself. My great aunt bought it brand new and gave it to me back in the early 90s. My car is a light blue, blue interior, 250 c.i. 6, auto. Dealers actually stuck torino emblems on them back in the day to get them to sell, because they didn't move as fast as normal torinos. My car had both the falcon and torino emblem on it. It still has most of the original paint and my great aunt never changed anything on the car's exterior as long as she had it. http://www.fordfalcons.com/latemodel/1970.5.htm

Re: what year is this Torino?
Friend of mine who worked for Ford ordered up a new 70-1/2 Falcon, dark green, 429 SCJ, drag pack. Removed all emblems.Car would snap your neck shifting with auto trans. raced it for 2 years, sold it to a guy who wrapped it around a pole 4 weeks later. When he first took it to the track, NHRA tech couldn't figure out how to class the car. Can't remember what times he was running, but was running Stock.

Re: what year is this Torino?
Along the same lines how about a 71 Pontiac GT-37 with the 455 HO

Re: what year is this Torino?
Actually, a T-37 with the 455 HO would be more along the same lines because it didn't have any sporting pretensions, unlike the GT-37, which was Pontiac's version of the Road Runner.

Re: what year is this Torino?
I seem to remember ( yeah I'm old ) that the line up was 6cyl 350/2bbl 400/4bbl and a 455 4/bbl. So the GT was just a dress up ?
