What About Those Headlights?:

According to research with a previous owner, the hide-away headlights were a dealer installed option when the car was new. It’s a desirable look for the Torino and according to people in the Torino community, it’s a positive upgrade. You decide for yourself!! Can be put back to stock for approx. $2,000 in parts (not including installation).

A few upgrades (according to the owner);

 

  • New disk brakes and rear leaf springs
  • Hide-away headlights have a new retraction system installed. Old system was difficult to source parts and repair
  • OEM A/C unit with Cobra cover plate
  • Upgraded oil pan
  • Upgraded transmission skid plate
  • New gas tank
