lol i laughed when you said this was huge i saw one of these for sale the other day with 49K on it and stopped and i thought it was small compared to my 69 ford ltd
Nice ride but needs some BF Goodrich T/A's white letter tires white wall s make it look like an OLD Man car! Mon had one when I was a kidin dark metal flake green,and I had two cougars in this body style . Great looking cars but lame HP and poor gas mileage! Mom's was a police 400 modified that one was very fast also rare I wish I still had it !
The Ford Torino Elite was built on the same platform as the Mercury Cougar.I had a 1976 Ford Torino in the same colour and Ford called it Copper Bronze.Tip,pitting on the chrome use naval jelly and elbow grease and it will come off.Use a claybar on the paint and it will bring off the blemishes.

This is a Ford Elite. The first year this model came out (1974) it was called a "Gran Torino Elite", but in 75 the Elite became a separate model line apart from the Torino/Gran Torino models.
The Elite was an upscale Torino with better trim, some minor styling changes and some pieces off of Mercurys. It was to compete against the upscale GM mid-size cars which were selling well at over 200,000 a year each (Cutlass Supreme, Monte Carlo, Grand Prix) using GM's formula. It was only in production for 3 years when they changed the upscale mid-size car to the T-bird name which was formerly on a car that competed with higher level cars like the Buick Rivera. T-Bird sold much better.
Looks a little like a granada from the front

In 1977 the Elite was replaced by the Thunderbird, while the Torino series was replaced by the LTD II..

Nice car I like the paint color, and the gauge cluster, and the wheels!

Hint: You should film the interior near your because there is less sun.
