1976 Ford Torino Station Wagon review from North America
"This car was a good friend and it is not dead it is being restored by someone who will love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car was underpowered for its engine size.
The interior was small for the size of the car.
The car developed rust even though I oiled and waxed it to death.
General comments?
This car is the best I have owed it went on and on.
It went on many long vacations and never let us down.
In the end it cost me approx. $35 a month to drive it for 8 years.
There is no recommendation of purchase here, and if you drive a 1970s North American car you will be very aware how good modern cars are.
