The Supercar Registry - You Can't Make This Stuff Up!

This is a woman that is so frugal she will turn the lights out while I am in the room. She keeps the thermostat in the bedroom at 59 degrees. But - if she's happy, I'm happy. Literally.

Man can I relate to that. Furnace is not allowed on until the first frost! Many people ask why there are aways blankets nearby me and I am always wearing a hooded sweatshirt in the house on many of my Facebook photos. Well now you know. At $600-$900 per month (dead of winter) for the propane bill, I do not argue with her much.

Before the new generation Torino came out in 1970, the Ford Dealers Association in Oregon got together with an idea to promote the new body style. The special Torino would be unique to the Northwest, and 601 were to be produced.

Available in three colors with a black hood, dual chrome hood-lock pins, dual racing mirrors, rocker panel racing stripes and argent-styled wheels.

I don't recall ever seeing those before.

I believe they are called “canards” or “Dive plates”. At least in the F1 world that’s what they are called.:biggthumpup:

Ford says installing two four barrel caebs will result in a 25 to 30 HP gain. So why is the single 4V 427 rated at 410HP and the dual quads rated only 15HP more at 425?

:haha:

What's with the front spoiler? Must be missing the braces.

Original 68 spoilers were shorter & textured unlike the replacement. Spoiler brackets were not used in 1968. Maybe real late in the year....Joe

In 1970, GM allowed Oldsmobile dealers to commission special-order paint for $50, any hue, not just certain colors from an options list. A specific dealer from Virginia Beach took advantage of this option and ordered quite a few cars in uncommon colors.

He did it so that he could have one-off rigs in his showroom but also because special-order units did not count against the 442 allotment that Oldsmobile had in place at the time.

This metallic purple drop-top is one of those cars. And according to the current owner, the hue is an exact copy of Mopar's Plum Crazy purple and was applied at the Oldsmobile Experimental Center.
