Pumping the gas like that usually doesn't work. Especially if it has been sitting there for days or whenever the outside temp changes from mildly cold to fridgid cold fast.
Turn the key and at the same time gradually add more and more pressure to the gas pedal until you touch the floor and after holding it all the way down for a few seconds.. it eventually should go VVVVVVVVVRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good news is many of the parts shown as weathered on this wagon are reproduced. You can buy the armrests, the window cranks, the door handles inside and out, the door lock knobs, the dash pad, things like that. The new owner (in Germany) should have little trouble sourcing this stuff. Now if only we 4-door Torino owners could get Steele Rubber or someone to reproduce the roof rail weatherstripping for sedans/wagons! I'm about to buy my third 4-door Torino and need SOMETHING!
@occupant272 I will dig through my connects i used to have a guy who made them for ANY car bit havent dealt with full restores in YEARS. No promises but I will Look...;-) Make sure and Subscribe Everyone I am starting to Upload some of the Unique cars i got in while on Business in Europe...Cheers
the 351 Windsor is a better engine to have over the 351 modified and 400 so the fact it has that 351 small block tall block whatever is a good deal. great selling plus with that trust me!
@Supramaniac24 LOL i was waiting for that discussion... i Googled it its 50/50 long ago on another car and... 351C & 400 have 8 bolt BB rear main etc and are widley considered a BB. 351m etc Small blockI dont have a firm opinion and people can call it what they want im happy however.. ;-) Cheers
@julianbell90 Gran Torino Camaro.. WHY NOT ;-) Looks like it huh 1972 is the only Year Gran Torino looks like that, Just like the one in Gran Torino but a Station Wagon.
Wow you don't see these around, at least in Canada. That wagon's so damn big you could fit anything in there. Heck just go to Home Depot and buy all the wood you need!
My '85 Regal did this a couple times.

This cars were power houses. Basically lowered pickup trucks. Tons of torque and soft comfy crusiers at highway speed.
