BIG Ford Combos?

Joe Toller · 06-14-2012, 11:25 PM

60 is sold, how about a 71 Torino 500 wagon, 351C-2V? Also available from same spot is a 73 Galaxie 500, 351C-2V and a 64 Fairlane 4dr 260.

There is a 74 Torino 4dr available, though I'm guessing a 460-powered combo, like a 2dr or Ranchero is in mind? Though I would think traction with a Ranchero and a 460 would be sketchy?

There is also a 76 Elite in the bunch, 351W powered, but maybe worth going 460?

79 is granny fresh and given weight of 3406 per NHRA classification if I remember right?

As long as it's an oddball, and a 70's Ford, I'll be happy. I basically cleaned an estate stash of cars out of some older Fords, got the 70's stuff wrapped up but couldn't get the 60, or the 61 and 62 4drs he had...
