Overview
Hello there!! Thanks for visiting my profile.
Here`s my sweet ride - 1968 Ford Torino 2dr hardtop (65C code car / bench seat). It is powered by a #s matching 289 2bbl (now 4bbl) V8 mated to a C4 auto trannsmission. I bought it in my homecountry (Poland) in March 2009. It was already restored by a previous owner. He did a "tough" work - body work, paint, etc. However, a whole undecarriage was left untouched, as it was in good condition (it is a CA car - there was NO rust before restoration).
However, it is slightly souped up: 4bbl Edelbrock carb. (550cfm), Edelbrock intake, air cleaner and valve covers. Plus it has a new MSD distributor and hardened valve seats. All other stuff is stock.
Still, my ride needs a little work in the engine compartment: I need to install washer resevoir plus washer motor and do some detailing. For more "serious things, which must be done" see another page.
By the end of this year I`m planning on adding more horses by installing true dual exhausts, aggressive camshaft, heads and others. Anyway, I came up with my "performance-buy list" - see page 3 for more details.
This is me and my car:
Anyway this car originally came with: power steering, power front disc brakes, tinted glass, A/C, white sidewall tires. It was painted with Lime Gold Paint.
I also have a Marti report on my car :)
Here`s a photo, which was taken right after I purchased my Torino ;)
I love my ride !!!!!!
