Just picked up a Generation 2, 1973

Pretty funky 1973 with an interior out of a limo and a corvette L88 hood scoop.
Rust free and a runner. Going to put some studded snows on it and send it to the mountains with my son the ski instructor for the winter.
He may pop up here eventually..

Fresh oil and antifreeze,Four shocks, Four tires, a battery, block heater and onboard battery charger and a set of tire chains and it's just about ready to head north for the winter.

Made the trip without a hitch, 230 miles.

It was not that cold yet when I was there, but over the weekend they had some single digit temps at night and with the block heater and charger running, she starts right up.

Am I the only one here with a Gen 2 ?

Nice Ride.

So far, you're the only Gen 2 who's posting right now. Good job on the acquisition.

Edit: These Toros make great winter cars. Mine lived in Lake Tahoe from '76 until this year. (Stopped running in '91, though) It was my father-in-law's go-to vehicle for ski trips. It did a lot of sliding but only got stuck once. It was a warm day and they buried the passenger side in mud up past the rocker panels.
