Traded a Grand marquee for this Torino last year in July Total garage find in Detroit!! Well anyways it was in non running condition so I put a few bucks in it to get it running before I made plans for it. The pictures are when I first got it running and wheeled it. Shes a Surivior!!

Nice! A buddy had one back in the mid 80's that was pretty quick 4 speed car. Well street car anyways. Whats the current combo?
 
Currently, I ripped the motor out and took it apart with intents to just reseal it then found out the cam bearings were bad and now I'm going to rebuild it. Its a 351c 2v nothing to special but I want to get the most out of it that I can on the budget I have for it. My buddy and I have been working on the engine bay for the past couple weeks and just sprayed it last Saturday! As for plans for the car its going to be a sleeper right now but maybe something different later on.
 
Cool car, looks like a '72. My uncle had a '72 with a 302 and zero options (manual brakes and steering). It was a handful to drive with no power assist.

I really like the styling, you can make a nice car out of that.

Thanks man!! I had a lot of wild ideas for it but they would all be in the future if I still have it. This ride has power steering but no power brakes and at the time that was the first car I have driven that had no power brakes.

As for keeping posted, I was disappointed at the top parts of the firewall (pitted and whatnot) so I started sanding again and will be filling it in then re shooting it.
 
Nice car. My dad has a 73 he bought new. The sports are hard to find. Body parts are hard to come by. Good luck with your project.
 
Cool car. The Cleveland is a good engine and the 2v version has the low end you need to move that beast. Nice to see people build something different.
 
I wanted to make it a 4speed car but I started looking for parts and there impossible to find for the year and pretty damn expensive.
