About
Rupert says creating this S&H Torino is something he has wanted to do "for a very long time." It took him almost five years to find a Torino in Vermont. This car was first sold in Vermont in June of 1976, so it has stayed close to home.
It would not be as it is now, Rupert says, if it was not for his sons, Eric and Nick. It took the three of them about two years to get the car into the condition it's in now. They did all the work themselves, except the engine rebuild and the paint.
The car now has a completely new interior from the headliner to the carpet. It also has new door panels and bucket seats now, although it originally had bench seats.
This car has the original 351 Windsor engine which has been blue printed, bored out, balanced, and tested on a dyno. It has an MSD ignition, Hooker Super Comp headers, Edelbrock intake and 650 carb, and an aftermarket aluminum radiator. It has a C-4 automatic transmission and Flowmasters Super 44 dual exhaust.
