Re: Parnelli Jones Torino?
 

I don't Diego, sorry. I sold most of my older stuff several years ago. Now everything I've got factory-wise is concentrated on 79-93 Mustangs. The mag collection is a little more expansive, but still mainly early 80's through late 90's.

By the way, when's that book going to hit?

I don't know - I gotta finish it first. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

The Cyclone 500 I've not only heard of, I've seen an orange one in person. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

The Cougar 500 I'm not sure. Sounds familiar, but I can't place it off the top of my head and maybe I'm thinking of something else. </div></div>

And don't forget these oddballs:

I'm a fan of the writer - kinda, sorta knows what he is talking about. He calls it available Wilderness Green instead of correct Washington Green [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] I am sure he will amend it.

I like those N/W Torinos, especially with a 429. This 68 PJ car is fascinating me. Now I want to know if any were built with a 428 CJ.

Re: Parnelli Jones Torino?
 

Judging by the date, it was possible.

Re: Parnelli Jones Torino?
 

The date would need to be April 1 or later for the CJ. It is likely that PJ ordered a few cars for the conversion at the same time as this one being built in Feb. I was a previous owner of one of the R Cougar 500 cars. One of the small block versions was on Ebay a few weeks ago. Have 4 Marti Reports for the Cougars so far. The topic goes back on the Cougar forum to about 2002 when another small block was located in a wrecking yard. Love all the unique ones and the research as well.

Re: Parnelli Jones Torino?
 

The date of the newspaper article is from May, for what it's worth.

I have production figures on how many R-code Cougar 500s were built, if you're interested.

Fitting we're having this discussion on 4/28. Happy Cobra Jet day! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

Re: Parnelli Jones Torino?
 

Sure Diego, I would like to see what you have.

Thanks in advance

Re: Parnelli Jones Torino?
 

There were 54 500s built. All were white, and 16 of them were CJs.

Re: Parnelli Jones Torino?
 

Speaking of white Torinos... this is a little off topic, but I thought this was a neat find.
