Love that movie Gran Torino. The Gran Torino shape is very close to a XA coupe. Any plans for this sweet ride apart from keeping the 351?

I think ultimately he would like it to look something along these lines.

Is it a Gran Torino or just a STD Torino?

Not a good looking as the Starsky and Hutch year model, but would still be a great car to play with.

The Starsky and Hutch model is ugly as! This (1970 or so?) model is way nicer.

Definitely had some influence on the XA I'd say. Lovely curves, particularly down the sides and across the back. This is a good example of the start of the end of nicely styled American cars.
