    The Torino looks solid from the bottom side. Pontiac, Dodge, AMC and Ford - you don't discriminate. If it burns gas and makes noise, the more the merrier!

    Damn! Haven't seen a Torino since the late '70's and they were scarce even at that time. Pretty solid car for being sitting in a field basically. The Magnums really suit that car.
    Kudos to JD for getting right in there lending a hand in the wrenching dept.
    Damn cool to see him givin er alongside Pops and Grandpa!!

    If you find something that has touched the earth for over a decade, it will be making a deposit for land rental. A deposit of minerals that is. It WILL become one with its initial creator, eventually. Thus, the springs were first on the list.
