Looks like a nice Torino. Sorry don't know how to post link. Our favorite auction site item number 2424521314. Just wondering if you guys have seen this car run at Sears Point or Sacto?

Seen it run, ran aginst it, Beat the driver and lost to the driver (He's the troll in the reflection) The car is just as described by Larry if not better. I shure would like to add it to my collection. Larry is a stand up Ford guy. Helped me many times. Bid with out any reservations. ------------------

I know the car real well, I built the engine in it. Jack (the owner) bought most of my FE stuff when I switched my car over to the 460. The car is very nice and it's scary fast on the street, it ran mid 12's with ease (before we put the Edelbrock heads on it) and could be an easy 11 second car with a little tweaking....it might run a low 12 or high 11 now, we haven't run it at the track since the cam/head swap. We've made some consessions to keep it streetable since that is primarily what Jack wanted was a fast street car. Jack is a no expense spared kind of guy and Larry is my Uncle/partner, both are real good people and neither would ever burn anyone on a car deal or anything else. I tried to trade my Comet for this car and a little cash at one time, but the Comet is a little more car than what Jack wanted. If I had money and space for another toy, I would buy this car in a second....it's hard to watch it possibly leave the family.------------------

Thanks for the info guys. It's hard to find a nice car with so many good honest testimonials. I wish I had a bigger garage.
