1971 ford torino - lithia springs, gastreetside classicslithia springs, ga 30122ph: 8773671835web: www. Fortunately, this one does exist and looks great with its trademark laser stripe down its flanks, and with a strong-running 351 cubic inch v8 under the hood, it's got enough power to match its racy look.
