The following comes from Gary and Corrie Baker ( also on guestcars page 7).  Gary writes "Hi Mike, I've got another Torino to ad to your guest cars section. Keep up the great work. I love to check your site everyday!

Owners: Gary and Corrie Baker

1969 Fairlane 500 convertible

Converted over to a clone 69 GT Torino. Factory air installed. 302 4bbl. w/FMX tranny rebuilt with Ford shift kit. 9" inch rearend installed with 3:25 to 1 ratio open gear. 69 351 exhaust manifolds used with dual exhaust h-piped and 2 1/4 inch pipes thru glasspaks make it sound really tough! We started this past winter restoring 2 cars at the same time! Both are now done using our spare time and vacations.

I'll be sending a before and after picture of the 69 convertible and later a couple of pictures of our 68' Fairlane we restored in the same time frame.

Thanks,

Gary Baker"
