I would have paid that for it and I'm not even a Ford guy. Nice find!

The 70 Torino Cobras w/429 SCJ's and shakers were awesome cars. Steve, thank god you said the white top will be gone. :thumbsup: There should be plenty of pics of old 70 Torino NASCAR cars to get ideas from. I had the idea of doing a 69 Torino fastback old school NASCAR style. :yes:

my 40,000.00 worth
 

I would not put a mod motor in it, fuel injected 427 ( i know its not the right year for the motor but a FI 427 would be cool), tko600. loose the vinyl roof. nice subtal hood scoop, painted bumpers hid lights modern door handles,Art Morrison Triangulated 4 link rear, god only knows what to do with the front suspension depends on the build budget cobra struts?? the front bumper needs some major reshaping to make it look like part of the body sam with the rear. interior......... wow maybe Black would look better. custom gauge cluster maybe custom dash. some custom tail lights maybe 67-8 CS mustang, some type of mesh grill, billet head light surrounds.

just a few ideas

Woah tiger.. slow down.. lol

The point in getting a nice starter car was to not have to repaint it (for the door handles and such).

Thinking of going with a dark midnight blue paint for the roof. Make is sorta two-tone.

I agree on the custom guage cluster, maybe a blacked out rear panel

However, this is NOT going to be a high-dollar build. I would love for the total to stay around $25k. We want the average joe to see what can be done. That means no billet, low bling. Just a clean nascar INSPIRED look to a fast car :)

We will see on the suspension. Not a ton of options out there, but there are some.

That is a very cool car Steve....Nice Choice...That body style will look great slammed on the ground. I also love the late 60's NASCAR theme, not the joke cars they run today, all you need to do is look at Jim Mulveys '66 Fairlane (ex Charley Libby car) to see how wicked they can look when done right...:thumbsup:

I liked that show :yes: .

Anyway, nice score man. Can't wait to see what happens with it :D .

I think an early NASCAR looks would be real nice on this car.

yeah with some Ford Expedition spare wheels as steelies. I think those things are 17s. That's if the bolt pattern is the same. Just an idea.

24's Bitch :D

Leave it to Jim!! Always the funny guy!! Looking forward to the humor next week. See ya in Vegas!!

By the way Steve, killer find. Looks like a real nice car. These days you can almost make anything look cool, and different is always a bonus!!
