    "This is a real survivor - a toss-back to the days of yore - and proof that they just don’t build cars like they used to..."

    Amen to that! I've always thought the 68 Cyclone was a better looking car than the Torino GT, and this one looks great!

    Big +1 Joe. IMO, there's still no substitute for cubic inches and gobs of torque, old school rules!

    Car looks like a 68 but has a 69 grille.

    No matter; beautiful car.

    Makes me miss my 68 Cyclone GT even more. I have an old picture of her in my computer's picture file, but the system will not let me send the photo as an attachment.
