RE: True Stories: Gran Torino (Part One)
Oh, yeah. There are Gran Torino's and lots of 50s, 60s, and 70s cars. In my 'workshop' right this minute is a '65 Thunderbird that needs some attention which is mostly down to fixing the power windows. It's a show grade car...
There really is a large group of 'old car' guys around. Mostly they are looking for cars of their youth in the later part of their lives. I occasionally take one in for work, I'm NOT a restorer. Just a mechanic that was real time with these cars in when they were current.
My Sister had a '70 Torino when she was in High School. My brother and I tuned it a bit... She turned that Torino into junk and drove a 1950 Chev Pickup to college (that was restored) because my Dad really liked the idea of her driving a 6 cylinder rig with no chance of really excessive speed.
Power windows? You mean Electric windows on a car from '65? Did they exist then?
I didn't see any here until the 90's!
Do you know 'Dusty' from Mesa? I could leave the number ringing and tell him he's a twat if he answers. Are 602 number still current from 25 years ago?
