    alot of those old imports are clearly styled after american car so it is kinda easy to like them. cant speak for what they're packing under the hood but they all seem to look ok.

    The Drag & Fly style Tornio looks kind of goofy to me. I still think the best factory produced 'modified' Torino was the Talladega.

    No pictures, sorry.

    You'll have to come to the Roundup to see it! After all...you've waited 5 years for me to finish it. What's a few more months!
