I know not everyone is going to love my reimagined version of this iconic car but here goes. Modifications include a chin spoiler, pulling the bumpers closer to the body front and back and side-to-side. Also lowered it down significantly. As always thanks for looking.

I like the color combination better than the red car. A lot of sparkle in the paint but it is nice and smooth looking.

Looks super cool Jim. 

The show was very popular here in Australia. The Torino's big stripe was emulated at the time on a lot of cars here. Little Datsuns and Corollas getting around with it. They looked ridiculous!

Thanks for the response. It would have been funny to see the cars your talking about I don’t remember a trend like that here in the US. Sad thing is the 0-60 and top speeds were probably close to the same. The TV car looked cool but by all accounts it was a real dud performance wise.

Cheers,

Very good work! I like the color... Good choice.
I also have this Torino in the display case, but it was built OOB. The decals turned out really well! It's not exactly easy to get these huge rags onto the model. Respect!
