I was doing some barn rearranging this summer and lined 'em up.. Here's a pic of my JD's, a Cub and my 1970 Ford Torino convertible..

Great pics of nice machines and the old Torino looks good, I like those wheels in the pic where you first got it, they are sharp :fing32:.

Those look to be Magnum 500's Jim. Ford used them on a lot of the models. [looking to get a set of my 72LTD ]

Real sharp car!!! So what is the OE color of it? -

That is my all-time favorite Torino body style. Nice!

Love the Torino as well! One of my favorite Fords.

The 'Ford Yellow' in the bottom pic is the factory color.. :thSick:

Did some engine work for a friend of mine and he painted it after I did all the prep work.. I had it on jackstands for quite a while in the garage getting it ready.. :fing32:

I wonder if thats the same color my 70 Mustang was when new. Called Light ivy green. It was a yellow with a slight greenish tinge

Love that Torino! I have always thought they were great cars. That is my favorite Torino body style. I grew up driving a 1976 Torino for a while until my brother took it to college.

I had a few also, 1973,1974 & 1975.. Those things are looooong too! 6 inches longer than my full size 1984 chevy P/U!:Stop:

I think it was 1991 Ford Fiesta blue.. I saw a bunch of them around and loved the color.. It had the pearl-essence.. You look at it from an angle and it looks purple.. :trink39:
