  1. Hello and Happy Thursday Friends!

    Hope all is well!!

    Building a replica of the '72 Gran Torino Hardtop driven by ARCA (and occasionally NASCAR) driver N. D. Copley. Love this body style and the red, white & black paint scheme on this racer!!! Information and especially photos are rather difficult to find. Using a resin body that a fellow modeler allowed me to purchase (thanks!). Johan Torino kit and some custom detail touches here and there will complete the build.

    Thanks for looking!

    More progress pics will follow.

    It really probably had 4 rear shocks that’s my mistake! The biggest thing is the cylinder heads. These used a Ram Air V cylinder head which doesn’t have Siamesed center exhaust ports like all other Pontiac heads. I reshaped the ports on an AMT 90s Nascar Ford head to mimic the Pontiac heads.

    Hey guys! Thanks for all the information on this cool Pontiac. So if I understand correctly ,the powerplant was a Pontiac RAM Air 5 without the typical Siamese center exhaust ports! I have this model on my to build list and recently picked up the decals from Mikes decals. Thanks again! Keep the info and pics coming!!!
