Yeah, the Torino is much hotter than my '67 SS

I'm gonna see how well that paint buffs. In that pic the car is FILTHY, so I'm gonna have it washed and buffed.

Of course. I gotta clean the whole thing up, but first I wanna get it running. The fucking starter won't turn. The solenoid clicks, but no start.

I still vote for using that Cleveland motor as a boat anchor and going Windsor.

Yeah, why not mess up the value of the car and do a shitload of work? Makes perfect sense!

You should have the starter rebuilt by a rep electric shop. I got a mini starter rebuilt down in Ellenton for $90.

Really? Last I looked a Torino GT, numbers matching, was between $10 and $20k on the Collector Car Trader. The second they're not numbers matching, $1800-$3000. You know this is Ford's version of the Chevelle, right?
