The Torino in my tag line wasn't in a barn, but I did get it from the
original owner, a little old lady, in nearly perfect condition for...$315.
When I get finished reupholstering the drivers seat, changing the radiator,
and recharging the A/C, it will be worth about $5k. Too bad it only has the
302. A 427 or 428 would bring about $15k.
