The 1972 Ford Torino is a classic that got a facelift inside and out. With dashboards made from more ABS plastic than a Lego factory and a speedometer surrounded by more pods than an alien spaceship, it feels futuristic for its time. Under the hood, options range from a modest 302 cu in V8 to a roaring 429 cu in. The Torino is bigger, heavier, and wider—perfect for those who want their car to reflect their expanding waistline. It even starred in Clint Eastwood’s “Gran Torino,” proving it can steal the spotlight!
In 1966, Chevy II transformed into a sharper, more angular beast with a bolder grill and a semi-fastback flair—like a car determined to make geometry cool. The Nova SS, the top dog, flaunted a 194 cu in inline-six but could flex with any engine, turning it into a muscle car with attitude. By 1967, safety upgrades joined the party, making this ride as safe as it was stylish. Despite these changes, only 8% went for the Nova SS with a V8—proving that not everyone was ready to go full throttle on the highway of life!
