Man, it felt good to get this out today

[hades]

I bought a 68 Ford Torino last summer, didn't need much work, but a few things here and there. Well, today I took her out for a drive and boy did it feel great! Haven't had her on the road for several months, got some new brakes on her, and a tune up, and she runs like a top! It was pretty fun cruising her around a bit. Tomorrow I'll probably wash it up, check on a few wiring problems (no dash lites or overhead lite) and drive around again.

I forgot how many looks you get driving an old car, even from young kids, LOL!

That is a NICE set of wheels. My brother in law had a 68 Cougar a few years ago... another set of cool Ford wheels. I am thinking about getting a new Pony car, I really dig them. If I had a garage, I think I would go get an oldie - maybe when the kids grow up and leave.

Here's my two babys resting.

Thanks loborugger ! I love the Cragars, I always wanted a set of them when I was a kid, but never had any, and now I finally do!

I also like the air shocks on the rear, I think it looks pretty pimp when they are aired up. Need some fatter rear tires, air the shocks up and it's ready for cruise nite!

Nice car! Needs bigger wheels.

What I'd like to know - Where is your orange and blue garage? I don't see 1 broncos item - WTF?! Now that you have the car, give it a nicer home, gee man! Great looking cars.

[hades]

You're right Scorpio, it does need bigger wheels. I havn't had a car wth 15's in a loooong time.

I'm pretty lucky. My wife bought me this cuz I was talking about wanting one. Then she gets me tickets to BOTH Bronco playoff games, south stand seats too boot! She's a definite keeper! :thumbsup:


Edit: Vegas Bronco, I have Bronco stuff inside the house, and a tattoo on my leg! The garage was mostly car stuff. We used to do car shows with the wifes Harley Davidson truck, but sold it and bought a pool. Now the Torino will be fixed up so she can take it to car shows, since she really digs those.

Hmmm, I was thinking of repainting the floor this spring, Guess I'll paint it Orange!

I love old school bone stock rides.

I love old school bone stock rides.

I hear ya. The only non -stock itmes are the satellite radio and an alarm. I'm the 3rd owner, have the window sticker, all the receipts, etc. This car will stay as stock as possible. It's an all matching nunbers car too, no new motor or anything. Not like it's worth a lot, but I like it and that's all that matters! I love the smell of it too, reminds me of my grandfathers garage when I was a kid, he had a paint/body shop in Berthoud.

Very nice cars! I like the Mustang...I own a 1994 GT myself.

nice car.

Nice looking ride for sure. 390, or maybe a 428 CJ or even SCJ ?

I wish, those were too pricey. Plain jane 302, but it was not bought to go fast, the Stang has a vortech supercharger and a paxton air to air intercooler, that's my go fast/play at the track car.

took mine out tonight.. between posts actually. sometimes that happens!! there is a nice long curvy road that i "discovered" but had to cut the trip short due to fear of drunken rich people barrelling around in their SUV's thinking they can negotiate turns.
