Older Brother's first car was a 69 Torino GT coupe. Was of the 351 Windsor variety, nowhere near the beast this is. White with Blue interior. 100% original. The car was 14 years old at the time. For the OEM only purists, I can verify that in order to avoid the crusher, aftermarket parts were required. OEM original is cool in a collectors garage as reference pieces. But they don't represent the natural car. The car most likely was bone stock the first 5 to 10 years. By that time they were either wrecked and canibalized, or scrapped. In order to keep them viable and desired the next owner might change the carb and exhaust, or the wheels and tires, or stereo. My brother's first car is still on the road, the guy he sold it to in college has kept it appearing original, but dropped an insane schizophrenic Cleveland/C6 build in it. Think of it as a person. It was bone stock as a teen, slightly modified for until it was 18, then built to the nutz until it's 54. Now take a man. Grew up on a farm until he was 14, moved to the city until he was 18 when he joined the Navy and became a sailor until he was 54. Do you define that man as a farmer, city slicker, or sailor? Anyone eho gives you grief over a cam can grab two fistfuls of sand and pound then up an oriface. Those things handled better than you would expect too. Beautiful piece. Thanks for putting it out there. Also green. That old green just looks right on that era to me.

Hey mate how did you go about the speed sensor? Were you able to use the stock one? I’ve got a 2000 low rider and have installed the motoscope mini but I can’t get a speed reading, not sure if I’ve just wired the sensor in wrong or if you can’t use the stock one because I have heard you maybe not be able to use the standard in gearbox sensor
@magz7274Күн бұрын
I actually used their motion sensor. Never could get the magnetic one to work. Mounted it to the caliper and pointed it at the 5 spoke rotor and then calibrated it with GPS. Had to make my own bracket for it but it was easy. Worked good.

Very nice looking Torino. I think the stance is pretty much perfect. Like the yellow also. If your thinking of a color change, Ford had a color in the mid and late 60s called lime gold metallic. Really sharp color. I do believe i saw a 68 o 9 Torino in that color years ago. It was mostly on LTDs and Galaxies. Probably weren't to many Torinos painted that color. Just throwing that out there. Sweet looking GT man , sweet

Very nice car. I’m restoring a 68 s code Gt right now. I’m going to go the same wheels. I was thinking 275/60/15 rear and 245s front. What size did you go with, it has a good look. I just finished a firewall/cowl replacement for this past weekend Lol. Glad that’s done! I only patched a couple places on the floors also. What’s your rear gear? Idk mine I need to get a Marty report ordered up. I have a 65 fastback I’ve had since I was 14 payed 650$ for each one of my cars so they were rough. I really like what you’ve done so far hopefully you’ll post up as it comes along. Really nice to see those wheels as you walked around for my own reference. Enjoy!
@magz72744 күн бұрын
Thanks man! On the rear, 275/60/15 is what I have. It is tight but it works, just makes sure your rear end is centered perfectly. Mine was just a tad off to the drivers side so I thought I was going to have clearance issues. Centered it and all good. The front I have 255’s and they’re fine, no issues. Rear gear is 3.50, open. I am very seriously considering swapping it with 3.73 traction lock. Will probably do that sooner rather than later. I’ll definitely keep posting! Thanks for watching!
