They told him that he couldn't find any more cars in Midland, Texas. This week, Tom Cotter hits the oil country highways to prove them wrong. Drawn in by the rusty bones of an old Torino, Tom investigates the pickings of a fellow car guy, among which is a 1972 Dodge Charger housing a 318-cubic-inch engine that, after some gentle prodding, slowly coughs to life. Cold calls come next, and soon Tom visits a woman who proudly imparts the history behind each hollowed-out shell in her yard, from an engine-less 1957 Thunderbird drag car to a VW Beetle with a Ford V-8. Touring through her garden of drag metal and classic iron, Tom turns up a McLaren Mustang convertible, the body of a 1963 Econoline Van, and a half-restored 1977 Chevy Blazer, each with a story-and a price.

Ranchero - nice model . There is one form 74 ( squire with wood on the sides ) for sale nearby where i live in Belgium . In very decent shape , all green + wood mixed colors and a 350 in it . Its only 15,000 $ - still for sale . If i had the bucks , i would have bought it long ago . I would mostly make a serious change in the cabin ( seats cover material / dash clusters / floor cover / etc... ) because its not a nice or exciting stock interior .

I had a 70 type NW Torino and bought a 70 GT for $60 at a police auction as a parts car. The parts car ended up being too good to part out so I just swapped a few parts like the disc brakes and sold it for $1,000. This was back in about 1998 I was 18 and wish I would have kept both cars the type NW is worth big money now it was the Oregon orange color I guess that's a harder color to find from what people tell me
