Re: [Amc-list] Renault Torino in LA

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I've always wanted to get my hands on a R Torino dash and console, very cool and retro.
Don't shoot me for saying this, but if the builder would have put a Brand C [yuck, I know] it would be much more sellable to non AMCers and such. A "C" guy thinks hotrod when he sees one of those things under the hood of anything. :[
   If the original was dead and un repairable, I'd build a multi carbed stroker six or perhaps set up a fake multi carb with multiport hidden setup. 
   You could fake the Torino motor with a jeep replacement, but you wouldn't get the added mains and other improvements they did thru the 70's.
