Looks like I'll be walking 500 miles - 71 Torino 500 restomod
While looking for parts for my other project, S-1970 Torino, I stumbled upon a 71 Torino 500 302 about 30 minutes down the road. Had one picture in the ad and a short description but it was close enough to check out, worse case it might be a parts car. Got there and learned quick this was a parking lot car. Engine and trans were out due to the rear main seal but everything else was still on the car as the guy had been daily driving it until he bought a new mustang. Paint was driver quality but was starting to lift in spots, flake around the trim, and small bubble in the fender lips. Quarters looked fairly solid, and trunk gutter wasn't rusted thru tho, plus he had all the original documentation so we settled on a price and I had project number 3. Plan was to clean up the engine bay and rebuild the 302 and have a driver by the end of the summer.....LOL.
