EM2 RESTORATIONS IS VERY PROUD TO PRESENT THIS RARE FIND. TO FIND A 68 TORINO THAT IS SO CLEAN AND RUST FREE IS HARD . BUT TO FIND A PRISTINE 390 "S" CODE GT 4 SPEED FASTBACK X PLAN FROM THE 71(LOS ANGELES) DSO IS WAY. AY HARDER! THIS CAR HAS DOCUMENTED HISTORY FROM SO CAL TO OREGON . O IDAHO. AND BACK TO OREGON. ALL DRY AND RUST FREE HOMES WITH A GARAGE . LOL THE CAR HAS 1750 MILES ON THE ODOMETER SINCE RESTORATION . THESE OLD COLLECTOR CARS ARE EXEMPT FROM MILEAGE REPORTING BUT WE THOUGHT IT PRUDENT TO LET YOU KNOW JUST HOW FEW MILES ARE ON THE ENTIRE RESTO. THE TORINO IS EQUIPPED JUST AS IT CAME FROM THE FACTORY (SEE DELUXE MARTI REPORT) AND ALL DOCUMENTATION AND PAPERWORK ARE INCLUDED IN THE SALE.
