Imagine the ugliest Ford green imaginable, wood bumper and spots of rust. But it had a 351 Modified or a 400 (can't remember which) and it ran great! Rusted out exhaust and all. Sold it as is for $500 quick to my friend. He sold it for $600 in a day. Later met up with the guy who bought it. Wound up trading that guy a '86 ish Ford Lincoln for a 1970 Torino GT rusted to hell and barely running. But I had a '70 Torino brougham that needed some panels. Used the GT hood on the better standard edition Torino. Wow those times where great! Got a 1972 Ford Mach 1 (rusted drivers side front frame) by trading a 1987 IROC 5 spd I purchased for $650 at a salvage auction (ran, drove, minor crinkle in the back rt corner). Pulled the 351 Cleveland out of the Mach 1. Put it in the Torino after pulling the anemic 302 2bbl. Still sold the Mach 1 for $1k without a motor on eBay junk cars. My how times have changed.
