I received these pictures from Bill Paul of West Amherst, NY.
He wrote "Mike - thought you might want to add these pictures of my 1971
Torino GT to your web page. Mine has a 351C - 4V, with quench heads, "mild" cam,
3:90 posi, and is an automatic. It has 48,500 original miles on it. The only thing on it
that's not Ford or 1971 Torino is the cam and rear end! Note the original 1971 New York
state license plates on it. 2 years ago, the engine was pulled and the engine and
compartment were detailed back to ORIGINAL condition - down to every nut, bolt, wire,
clip, part - everything. I also re-did the nterior at that time. The Torino's high point
was receiving the "Best Ford" award 2 years ago at the the annual Buffalo Ford
Lords car show - probably 200 cars at the show. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bragging -
just real proud of it. I probably put 300 hours into it that winter. It's affectionately
known as "Moby Dick" - as you can guess because it's a big old white machine -
like the whale!" Well Bill I'll tell ya that
isn't bragging. That is one beautiful machine! You have every right to be
proud!
