The Striped Tomato!! I never missed that show when I was a kid... Remember having the Matchbox model of this one and Kojak's Buick, among others...

 

[VolvoZ]

Love those 70s cars!

I owned a 74 Torino for 8 years. Great car, soldly built, but they really were gas pigs back then.

You may need new glasses.

When I waited at the bus stop as a middle schooler, circa 1990, there was a spoiled rich kid who went to one of those montessorri learn-at-no-pace schools up the road from me, and he had a crash-bumper torino. I can imagine his parents buying it thinking their precious hellion would be safe in two-plus tons of american steel, and darn the other guy.

He always turned the corner then floored it through 2nd gear off towards the school. I never heard him hit 3rd-- he spent most of a mile in 2nd. Probably had 2.56 gears or something. Utter malaise.

I had 72 gram torino. 350 engine. Loved that car.

And Few years ago I was given GM invoice on one of the original cars and found out my car built same month as the actual ones used on the show

Yep, 2.01 cubic inches bigger than the Chevy.
What can I say. Chevy math I guess.
