I am trying to decide if I can rebuild car. I am wondering if someone has
done this and can help me out. I need a new engine and all the goodies to
go with it. I have a good body and transfer case but from there it needs
lot of help. I am the orginal owner but gave it to a relative and now I
have the car. Do I just call a junk yard or is there a chance for me to
rebuild. I would prefer to rebuild but I am lost.

Have you considered ebay? Depending on exactly which model
Torino it is, it may have more value than you think.

70 and 71 torinos have the same body style. Many of the fairlane and falcon
pieces of the same years will work in your car.

If the car lived in a snow region where salt is used pay care attention to
rust out of floor pan , firewall, and torque boxes (just behind front wheel
wells)
