This was the debut year for a new style of Torino, and it was basically a single-year design. Ford created downright sporty sheet metal for this coupe, and it looks especially nice since the body-hugging bumpers and side trim are complete and shining.<\/p>\n

And the bright green paint was given a later respray to make sure it still looks bright. This year’s car had a terrific muscle car kind of intimidation with a huge grille that looks like it wants to consume lesser cars.<\/p>\n

The overall impression that you’ll get is that this one is a distinct driver car. That’s also why the upgraded Modern wheels with Cooper Cobra tires not only have a great look, but they are also perfect for fitting better driving.<\/p>\n

The carpet, door panels, dash, and headliner all have a clean look of quality. The seats are particularly nice with the insignia trim embossed across the rear one, and the front has a split bench with high-back comfort.<\/p>\n

You’ll like the classic feeling, right down to details like the working dome light and upgraded Grant GT Tri-spoke steering wheel. It is equipped with factory air conditioning (it likely needs a recharge to blow cold again.)<\/p>\n

The radio has been upgraded to a Blaupunkt AM\/FM cassette for your listening pleasure.<\/p>\n

Under the hood is the power house 351 cubic-inch V8. You may decide just to tune this up as a stock setup, or we also know this is a motor that loves upgrades. So, it has good power for today, and any time you want, it would be very easy to let this one live up to as much of the muscle car potential you desire.<\/p>\n

And no matter how you choose to enjoy this coupe, the power steering, three-speed automatic transmission, power brakes, and front discs make for a solid all-around cruiser.<\/p>\n

Ford fans know this style was really only around for a single year before bumper laws took away many of the exciting lines. That’s why the ’72 fastback will always be in demand. So don’t miss a solid and distinct V8 classic. Bid today!!!<\/p>\n
