Re: 1972 Torino Fastback - Est Worth?

Thanks for the support fellows!

Does this site provide blog space for builds? Or a build thread forum? I created a subforum for Build Logs on GT40s.com, insanely popular:

GT40 Build Logs - GT40s.com

The car should be delivered this weekend. I'm sure it'll have issues, but I'm looking forward to learning about them and then fixing it up.

Ron

Yeah, you can do all of that in the "Making Progress" forum. I look forward to it.

Thumbs up Re: 1972 Torino Fastback - Est Worth?

Excellent, I'll start one there. I don't know how I over looked that area. It is nicely done.

Friend of mine looked at the car last night and delivered the money. Said the paint is in good shape, couple of minor interior issues that I was aware of, but indicated the car is all there. It starts readily, runs well, and seems very drivable. The 351C has been modified - it has a non-stock cam and headers, which is just fine by me. Might make it a bit more entertaining as I drive it awhile during the "evaluation" period.

I'm psyched about it. I've owned many different fast and special cars over the years, but never a muscle car. While not a classic muscle car to most, I have always liked the 72 Torinos since I was a young boy. I'll make a list and we'll certainly modify it to the point that there won't be any doubt about the muscle part!
