Are the rear quarters on a 70 Torino coupe the same as on a fastback? I found a near cherry coupe and the price is right for the quarter.------------------

There is a body line that runs the length of the car on a coupe that the fastbacks don't have. The wheel opening is the same,but that's about it.

Well now here is the million dollar question: Does anybody sell new sheetmetal like quarterpanels for a Torino fastback? You can buy them for any other non Ford car.

There is a company in Canda that hand makes a lower quarter for the 70-71 Torinos. I can't remember the name, but they aren't expensive, about $100. The quarter only comes up to just below the character line above teh wheelhouse. Be sure your outer wheelhouses are in excellnt condition as well. Be sure you have a GOOD bodyman install these, as they do require ALOT of work to make them look good. I have one on the driver's side of my 70 GT and the guy who did the work was awesome.
