Nice cars. I'd really like a 67 Cougar some day- white with red interior.

Great looking Torino! Any idea how many were built in Canada with that powertrain?

I've had a few Fords in my day:

66 Mustang:



65 Ford Galaxie 500 XL (390 4 speed):



77 Cougar base model. 351. Orig paint

My brother ordered one New but it was too late and it came as a '73. Brown with the Laser stripe.351. Bought in K-W area. I didn't know they built them in Oakville.

I drove the living cr-p out of a '72 Maverick V-6. The front spindle twisted off taking a fast corner in Belleville. I left it on three wheels at this friend of a friend's place, and took the train back to Cobourg. I never saw the car again.
My one and only Ford.
Don't get me wrong, I do like Fords. You guys have some beauts!

I love it!!!       I  used to own a 429....

Beauty car! I have always liked the 71 and 72 Torino too.
 Let me know if you want to part with it.

Is nice. I own 1971gt sport roof 351c 2bbl in the first color. Here some photo of my car

Although I truly love the GM lineup of vintage automobiles I personally think that all of the Big 3 had some absolutely beautiful machines up for offer way back when. I've always used the phrase
"they quit making cars after 1969" as there are only a handful, in my opinion anyways, after that which I would consider fabulous. I've always loved the Daytona Superbirds; Super Bees; Cudas; Challengers; even though they WERE still in production after '69. I've always loved the Torinos; some Mustangs; 7-Litre Galaxie convertibles; and others that escape memory at this present moment in time. They all had their hey-days from the '50's to the late '60's. How can you not love cars of ANY make that just reek of chrome inside and out? Or something that pushes the limits of horsepower and performance no matter what the make? Take a look around today at the
"cookie cutter" car industry and I rest my case. Just so long as we ALL agree that old cars, no matter what their make or model are "the cat's pajamas" then that's all that matters. Keep 'em alive is what I say, no matter what!

Hey, what's with reviving all these Ford threads???!!! I'm getting ill here!!!

My best friends older brother had what sounds like the identical car...it was rolled and then caught fire ... ahem! The engine and tranny survive to this day. I have a picture of it somewhere, burned from the taillights to the firewall.

NO I DIDN'T. IT'S NOW STUCK IN THE CORNER OF THE GARAGE AND WON'T BE SEEING THE LIGHT OF DAY UNTIL MY '64 LAURENTIAN WILL MOVE UNDER HER OWN POWER. I CAN'T GET IT OUT UNTIL THEN. WHY IS IT THAT A GARAGE IS NEVER AS BIG AS YOU NEED?!!! ALSO, I HAVE THE TITLE OF "ONLY HUMAN ON THE PLANET THAT DOESN'T OWN A DIGITAL CAMERA"!
