this morning.


Nice guy and he's doing one hell of a job on a Torino.


Who is "Jack"?


Eisboch


It's me. Tom stopped by and gave me a six-pack of some good ale and
we talked a while. Same feelings here... he's a genuine good guy and
welcome back anytime. Even if he's not a Gamecock / Spurrier fan. :-)


What year's your Torino? I had a Merc Montego Sport 1970


Mine's a 1970 Torino GT. *351C 4V, auto, AC, power disc brakes. *It
needs work, but here's a pic.

Kind of starting a resto / mod on it right now.

Nice!



Thanks.

Something about that vintage car captures my interest. * Never went for the
real "oldies" (although I appreciate them).



I had a '70 Torino GT in my senior year in high school. It was white
with red interior, and had that yellow/red "laser" stripe down the
side. This black one is my early mid-life crisis. Plus I love
fabricating and pulling wrenches, so it's therapeutic.

Funny story... I could have bought a '69 Super Bee, twin ram 383,
parked but all matching in good shape back in '83 or so for $500.
Passed on it. Duh! Another "one that got away" story...


I like the muscle car era.



Yeah, me too. Too many cars, not enough time. :-)
