Very, very nice. Great find. Congrats.
Are you not worried some of these super sleuths on here will figure out exactly where you live ?
I had a white 75 Gran Torino elite with a maroon vinyl top and interior. Wish I still had it.

Why? It was slow then and it’s a dog now.

My brother had a 72 Mustang convertible.. He sold it to a friend then he sold it to his brother in law.. He is getting ready to restore it.. Himself.. So I doubt it will be a good job..

Very nice - the engine bay core, towers etc. are clean and solid. My daily driver is a G-body with a new crate engine. No muss, no fuss easy to repair and a nice cruiser.

Nice ride.
We had a ‘70 Torino like this one for a while.
It really liked visiting gas stations
Old baw I bought it from is restoring a red Torino convertible. It's super nice.

It's about as fast as a modern V8 truck, I'm not trying to race anyone, baw.

That's a REALLY nice ride. Congrats!
It reminds me of my first car, a 1973 Pontiac Le Mans.
looked like this, but had some weird bias tires and not radials, white top not black:

I can smell that interior from here. My great grandparents had a Falcon.

Oh I know, lots of very sweet deals on fun classics to enjoy. You don’t have to have a full restoration with matching numbers to have fun with classic cars
It’s not the money, it’s the 32’ toy occupying 1/3 of my garage that’s my obstacle

You can do a lot with the 302. Fun engine to play with.
Solid car as it's before all the vacuum bullshite of later 70s.

My Grandmother had one exactly like that, but lighter color blue.

Ah yeah, I get you there.
Had to banish my truck to the driveway so I guess I'll have to get a cover for it.

I was looking at Galaxies and they are also long. Maybe too long for my garage.

Sweet ride. My BIL drag raced one back in the day. Same body style but a year or two older.
We had a tricked-out 390 in it. That thing was fast and could jump over a beer can off the line.
I got drunk one night and "stole" it out of his driveway. Only ran it up and down the street a couple of times, but had everyone who lived near him pissed, and rightly so. It was a stupid arse thing to do.

Mine's about 206 inches.
I was looking at a Plymouth Sport Fury that ran about 213 inches previously.

I had a 70 or 71 Torino 500 when in high school. My first car. Cost me a thousand bucks. It was school bus yellow. I really didn’t like it. The dash was held on by a clip next to the windshield The damn thing would fall in your lap if you hit a good sized pothole.
I sold it and bought a 75 el Camino classic. Now I loved the shite out of that ride. 60’s on the back and 70s on the front aluminum fan jet rims. Air shocks on the back. Light tan with a dark brown vinyl roof.
