I wonder if anything from my mother's old Tempo is packed away. I am pretty sure all of the paperwork went with the car when it was finally sold 10 years ago, but who knows.
 
I know packed away somewhere is an owners manual to a 71 Chrysler, owned by my grandpa before I was born, that was given to me when I was a kid. It might need a good home too.

I swear those Corvettes have Malibu steering wheels.
 
I like that turbo E23...very easy to find parts for it no doubt.
 
Silver arrow could be a good car...kind of miled up for my tastes, and I don't like the dopey interior nor the aftermarket wheels...but a lot of car for the money anyway, and it's from the final production run.

Somewhere I have an original 1970 Oldsmobile W30 442 brochure. This was the monster year for 442. 455ci, 500ftlbs torque, and a horsepower listing that was completely bogus. The brochure lists 385hp, but the car mags never found one that dyno'ed at less than 420.

....my uncle had one of those, convertible (blue w/white interior and top, automatic and loaded); I'm sure he kinda wishes he still did (as do I).

Overpriced by a mile Parts car
 
Much more like it Wagons are in now, but still not going for major bucks. You could never come out in the black on that 70
 
This has to be a crazy price
 
Not clear if this is an SS or not
 
Could be reasonable if it looks good in person
 
Lotsa bodywork
 
Calling it a muscle car doesn't make it so
 
If he is the original owner, then he must know where the bumper is

Wagons can be cool...I wish my dad had kept the 60 Ford Country Sedan he had in the 90s.
 
I don't know if "evolved" and "Ford Elite" should be on the same page

how much is this worth? by stickguy

SOmeone should have some clue (Ahem, paging Mr. Shifty). At least from the ad, it looks about as nice as one of these can. Also a plus IMO to have the manageable engine. A 427 must be flat out scary.

"Degenerated", maybe?
 
Actually, I preferred the more humble Torino back in those days. And as Gran as a Torino could get, especially with those brougham packages and such, IMO it makes the Elite sort of redundant.
 
But, I guess the same could be said for other cars back then. The Monte Carlo really wasn't much nicer inside than a Malibu Classic coupe...but at least the styling had all those pretentious styling cues to let you know, without a doubt, you were getting a "better" car!

87 Firebird. First he writes 5 speed, and then he writes 4 speed auto. V6 engine with unverified mileage, not even original, and car needs paint and upholstery, and he wants $9000? Seriosu buyers? Wow, what a dreamer.
 
He'd be lucky if he gets $1000 - 2000 for it.

I don't think many of the "elite" drove those cars, either. Kind of like the Celebrity.
 
I think the Torino lost its way after the type shown in 'Gran Torino'. The 70s took over, and not in a good way.
