Gotta take the bitter with the sweet....
By blinker - 02/01/2004 2:38:19 PM; IP 64.12.96.70
The new upcoming Starsky and Hutch movie will bring attention to Torino's, specifically '74-76. While publicity for the Torino is welcome in this chevy laden world, those who don't know any better or weren't born yet migght get the wrong impression I know its just a movie. But those who don't know better might pay an inflated price for a car that will start wheezing like a dog with distemper when you step into it, and pretty much go downhill from there. Hot Rod magazine says mid 16's for a stock 460 one, which isn't too bad for that era. But a lot of the factory clone caars had small blocks in them But that 16.5 Torino weighed 4500 lbs whereas my 1969 428 weighs 3680. with junk in the trunk. I guess what I'm trying to say is I hope the movie sparks a interest in Torino's in general, and in particular, which was the really fast ones. I read where the movie ones have built 351's in them, good for low 14's.
This thread, so far...
