[brobinson75]

Nice car.  We had a white '76 wagon with a 351.

Hey Laurens... Ik heb zelf ook een Torino station uit 1973... Heb jij enig idee waar je het beste onderdelen vandaan kunt halen?? Ben er achter dat er voor de station moeilijk wat aan te komen is... Om bijvoorbeeld de rubbers ff te noemen...

[dartdude13]

i have a good feeling about the car but their are a few others that also have high potential this one is mid price rang $650 american (i know can i find a deal or what??)but the others are in slightly better shape i'm wondering if it's worh the little extra it costs??

[laurens1966]

[dartdude13]

i should jump on the car if i can ge the money to gether even if the other cars are cheaper

[Seattlecarnut]

The Netherlands. Ok, it must be rather expensive to drive such a big car there, or anywhere in Europe.

[Seattlecarnut]

Nice looking car. Where is the video located? Looks like somewhere in England or somewhere in Europe.

[laurens1966]

in the netherlands

[JAMESS30288]

[laurens1966]

yes that's for the lpg, the ford is 5 weeks ago restored and get a new paintjob. the roofreck is off the car now. he has now full chrome wheels and a flowmaster serie 40 thunder

[BeauEvil]

What the HELL is that for a breather!

[Doobie1975]

How much power does the car have from its 351 cleveland? You rarely see any Gran Torino wagons around

[laurens1966]

335  hp

[Doobie1975]

That is alot of power, I know they only came with around 160hp from the factory due to the Emissions Controls

[BeauEvil]

Wrong! The 351-4V (usually, the version found in station wagons) was listed as the highest horspower of any Ford engine at the time, except the police intercepter!

[dartdude13]

what did the 2v have

[LegendOfJomtein]

You are the "3th" owner? Lol, you mean "3rd" and NICE CAR.

[lmednick]

Nice condition. What country was this video from? I have a 72. Bought it back in 83. But yours is in much better condition. Do you know if it's a 351C or 351W?
