    OK now you are just rubbing our noses in it...hahahaha There was no need to bring out the big guns you could have kept the Torino a secret and spared our feelings...Gee whiz talk about a bragger :D:D:D

    Just kidding, but you sure are a lucky one, can we set up a time and place to meet sometime soon so I can rub your head or belly or something and rub some of that luck off on me....hehehehehe

    Sure is a pretty Comet, good luck with the interior and brakes....

    Beautiful.

    There is a $400 68 Montego sitting up the road from me. 302 and all. Ran a few years ago before the dealership went out of business. It and a Saturn coupe are all thats left of the inventory. He had 5 Torinos and Cyclones. Each one was $400.
    The 67 was a 4 speed.

    didn't meen to brag. I'm just one of them guys that falls into deals when i'm not even looking. Going to work on the interior today and get some pics.

    Yes it was repainted in 1994. Then it was parked in a barn till last year when it was moved to a garage cause of the mice.

    That would be a tough one. In this area they are very popular. I know where there is some ranch wagons that are restorable. a 55, 2 56's and a 57.
