    Greetings! glad i found this forum. My wagon is a 70 torino, factory purple, 429 big block car. All original 52k miles. Well maybe not all original. I added 17 inch steel wheels and used the original hub caps. Runs and drives great! 1003981_10200588883502543_584503770_n.jpg 1000879_10200588887862652_1949324704_n.jpg 154806_10202101901407045_1435639828_n.jpg 15639_10202102049050736_1717672363_n.jpg

    Hello!

    That is a beautiful looking wagon! Are you the original owner, or did you just get lucky in finding it? :)

    Welcome to the madness purplewoody! :Welcome:

    Do you know if your Torino was an Atlanta(Hapeville) built car? :confused:

    I remember seeing all the rail cars loading up in the yard there, many of the Torinos had the opt laser stripe package.

    :camera::camera::camera: rating for opening thread. Upgradable to "5" status with the inclusion of interior shots showing all aspects of the dash and some under hood shots. :D

    I am not the original owner. My dad went to high school with the original owner our two families remained close in the 70's and. 80's
    So I rode in the car a lot as a kid. Long story short, I bought the car from the original owner in 2012.

    Welcome!

    ======================
    VERY NICE!!!:2_thumbs_up_-_anima

    I didn't realize they put the hideaway headlights in wagons. I've only ever seen 2 Torino's with them in person and they were both 2 dr. Hardtops.......
