A little while ago ( b4 I bought the falcon ) I looked at a good shape, '68 Torino, not fastback, 32k original documented miles, orig paperwork, needed paint but had no cancer, and had mint original interior, had a 351 with an automatic. The guy only wanted like 1500 or 2000 for it but, I figured, I didn't have that much to spend and even if I did, it was too nice/ worth to much to drive daily. The reason I asked is because it lookd just like a Galaxie of the same yearspan ( mid- later 60's ). Guess that kinda stumped me. I actully thought it was a Galaxie until I saw the rear window post that had the Torino Emblem on it.
